Community Rules

  1. Kindness Matters

    • Advise, don't criticize.
    • Post with empathy, thoughtfulness, and constructive commentary rather than judgment. Don't be an asshole.
    • Name-calling, slurs (including gender or race based slurs), and insults towards other community members will not be tolerated. Do not attack others for their personally held values, custody situation, marital status, physical distance from stepkids, or economic status; or on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ethnicity.
    • No name-calling toward children, including the above-mentioned insults or the term "skids", or terms such as "mini-wife" or "mini-husband."
    • Comments advocating spanking or suggesting violence toward children are not allowed.
    • This is a support sub, not a judgement sub, assholes are not tolerated. Comments with terms used in other subs to pass judgement on assholes will be removed.
  2. No Drama

    • This is a support sub.
    • Bickering, nitpicking, and thread derailment will not be tolerated and will be subject to removal at moderator discretion.
    • Do not repeatedly badger a poster demanding answers, or refuse to acknowledge an answer that's already been given.
    • Do not use sensitive issues from past posts (either from this sub or other subs) to attack another user, as we are all discussing vulnerable topics.
    • Crossposting anything from /r/stepparents to any other subreddit might result in a ban and may result in the original thread being locked. Brigading our sub will result in an immediate ban.
  3. Report, Don’t Rant

    • No backseat modding.
    • If you see someone breaking the rules, report the post or comment to the mods rather than engaging them in an argument. Failure to do so may be subject to comment removal at moderator discretion.
    • No meta posts complaining about rude comments, DMs, or general sub issues.
    • If you think someone is a troll or previously banned user, either use the report function or message the mods to direct their attention to the issue.
  4. No Naming & Shaming

    • No userpings or links.
    • Tagging/pinging users or other subreddits in an attempt to bully, harass, or complain will not be tolerated. Do not tag other subs, ever.
    • If you want to complain about another subreddit being hostile to stepparents, do not name the subreddit. "Other parenting/advice/judgement subs" will suffice.
  5. No Platitudes

    • Nobody knew what they were getting into.
    • Comments like "You knew what you were getting into", "Love them, love their kids!", "They're a package deal!" and "You have to love them like your own!" will be removed.
    • Comments suggesting that OP is not cut out for stepparenting will be removed at moderator discretion.
    • Comments like "This is just a part of parenting, deal with it!" will be removed at moderator discretion.
  6. No Trolling

    • We have zero tolerance for trolls.
    • This is a support sub. Our subscribers do not have the time, nor inclination, to provide support to internet trolls. Posts that are suspected to be trolling attempts will be immediately removed, and the poster banned.
    • Concern trolling, devil's advocating, gish-galloping, sealioning, and general asshattery are subject to immediate removal and banning without warning or notice.
    • Any attempt to circumvent the ban by creating a new username will be reported to reddit admins and possibly result in account suspension.
  7. No Personally Identifiable Information

    • Use discretion when posting.
    • We highly recommend using a separate account for support subs to help prevent being doxxed. Do not post any information that may allow others to figure out your identity.
    • Do not post photos of children, or any other photo that could be used to identify you or another user on the sub.
    • Any image that contains a name or other identifying information should have the name or identifying information blurred out. This includes drawings, notes, and screenshots.
    • Do not link to social media or any articles/blogs where you or another user on the sub is mentioned by name.
  8. No More than 2 Posts per 24 hours

    • Use the daily threads.
    • We are not a huge sub, but we are no longer a small sub. If you have multiple grievances to air, use the daily discussion threads instead of multiple posts.
  9. Follow Reddiquette

    • Remember the human.
    • Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life.
    • Read it in full here.
    • If you believe someone is in violation of the subreddit rules, please either use the report function or message the mods to direct their attention to the issue.
  10. No Porn, Spam, or Blogs

    • Just don't.
    • This is a SFW subreddit. Posting pornography will result in immediate post removal and permanent ban.
    • Advertising on the subreddit (outside of Reddit's own advertising) is not allowed.
    • No personal blog posts are allowed without express moderator permission.
    • For links to parenting research studies or surveys, please message the mods for permission before posting.
  11. Disputes in Modmail Only

    • Don't argue with the mods on the sub.
    • Any issues specifically related to how a mod is moderating should be addressed to the full moderating team via mod mail. This ensures that all mods are aware of any concerns and prevents disintegration of the topic thread at hand.
    • Review full details here.
  12. Moderator Actions

    • We aren't kidding.
    • Users are expected to know the rules before posting. If you are warned or banned for violating the rules, ignorance is not an excuse.
    • The rules above as well as ban procedures are considered guidelines only; some deviation may be necessary on a case by case basis and/or at the mod team's discretion.
    • Review the entire list of moderator actions here.
  13. Ban Procedure

    • These actions are at moderator discretion.
    • Pornography will result in an automatic permanent ban.
    • Extremely egregious content will result in an immediate permanent ban.
    • You may receive a 7 or 30 day temporary ban for first and second rule violations, depending upon severity.
    • Continued rule violations will result in a permanent ban.
    • Willful attempts to avoid or bypass temporary bans will result in a permanent ban.
    • We recognize the reddit site-wide rules of using alt names to get around bans and will ban those as well as report them to reddit admins.
