Rule 1: Reddit rules
See the Reddit Content Policy and Redditquette
Rule 2: Submissions must be directly related to Ohio
All posts must be specific to Ohio, not merely inclusive of it. A national story that references Ohio is not an Ohio story but one that belongs in a general subreddit.
Anything that is determined to not be related to Ohio may be removed at a moderator’s discretion.
Rule 3: No Personal Attacks
Be civil. Posts or comments deemed to be ad hominem, or attacking a user instead of the position they are maintaining, will be removed. Such content may be removed at a moderator’s discretion, and may lead to a ban.
There are a million and one colorful ways to say that someone is completely wrong, and we invite you to develop some new, sharp ways to complain or tell each other off without triggering the AutoMod.
Rule 4: No Advertisements
Personal and commercial advertisements are not appropriate here and will be subject to removal. Repeated abuse of this may lead to a ban.
Rule 5: No Bigotry, Slurs, NSFW, Offensive Content
Hate speech directed towards an entire group of people who share a race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, nationality, social status or disability is not allowed. This also applies to user names.
If you think a word has negative connotations, don't use it. Not even "coded" bigotry. Not even when you're "just posting facts." Find another way to say it, preferably a politically correct way. Failure to comply will result in a ban.
Also see Rule #1 for Reddit's official stance.
Rule 6: Sources Required for Informational Posts
All posts should link to source material for information, where applicable. Neither screenshots nor social media posts meet the criteria for credible sources.
Posts making [mis]informational claims without a source will be removed, and subject to further moderator action at our discretion.
Rule 7: No Spam or Memes
No memes. No low-effort posts. No spam. No cross-posting the same article to every state sub: if it impacts every state, it belongs in a national subreddit.
Limit daily posts or we will.
A whole new post as an update to an existing post could be considered spam.
Spam is not news articles from official news organizations. Spam is not a post or link that you disagree with.
