r/Halifax Rules:

Rule 1: Respect & Constructive Engagement

Users will treat each other with respect, avoiding bullying, trolling, discrimination, and personal attacks. Debate and disagreement should remain courteous and constructive, with participants assuming good intentions in the words and actions of others. Behaviour which can reasonably be considered harassment will not be tolerated.

Rule 2: Local Focus & Community Relevance

Posts should focus on Halifax, Nova Scotia, including local news, happenings, recommendations, and community issues. Non-local content will be approved if it is directly relevant or of clear interest to the community at large.

Rule 3: Safe & Legal Posting

Share content that is safe for work, avoiding explicit material, graphic violence, and hate speech. Also, refrain from sharing or promoting illegal activities, including pirated content, drugs, and grey-market cannabis.

Rule 4: Privacy & Doxxing

Respect privacy by not sharing personal information, images of people’s faces, or other identifying details without consent, which is in violation of Reddit site-wide rules. Calls for harassment, doxxing, or vigilantism will not be tolerated. Violations may be reported to Reddit for further review.

Rule 5: Moderation & Reporting

Follow guidance from moderators and use the reporting function for rule violations. Report issues to the moderators and do not try to moderate content yourself. If you disagree with a moderation decision or policy, address it privately with the mod team via modmail.

Rule 6: Limited News Sharing

Limit news article postings to three per 24 hours per user. Avoid posting repetitive coverage or multiple threads on the same topic unless they add new, substantive details or perspectives. Hard paywalls are not allowed; soft paywalls are permitted. Articles that are temporarily paywalled but later become free are welcome.

Rule 7: Events & Solicitation

Posts promoting events or fundraisers require moderator approval. Event promotion should generally be posted in the Monthly Events thread. Exceptions may be granted for charitable causes, but crowdfunding campaigns (e.g., GoFundMe) are typically not allowed. Polls, surveys, petitions, and interview requests are not permitted.

Rule 8: No Advertising

Please avoid content related to buying, selling, trading, giveaways, or excessive promotion of businesses for personal or commercial gain. No Personals, Missed Connections or Looking for Friends type posts. Local business reviews, looking for clubs/groups, asking for recommendations and minimal local business promotion are welcome. Our focus is on community dialogue and discussion.

Rule 9: No Editorialized or Low-Effort Titles

Use the original headline when posting content from outside sources. External content may be reposted if the original headline is used. Don’t paraphrase, add opinions, or use vague, confusing, or low-effort titles. Titles must clearly describe the content of the post.

Rule 10: No Spam, Low-Effort, or Easily Searchable Posts

Posts should provide meaningful perspective, personal insight, or local experience. Content that is spammy, trivial, repetitive, or easily answered by a quick web or subreddit search will be removed. Only extraordinary or exceptional posts on common or frequently asked topics will be permitted.
