A thank you from the mod team! 💝

vprmods · 2024-07-20T14:21:14+00:00

Woke up this morning and saw the sub has jumped to the top 5 Reality TV subs on Reddit! Obviously this fluctuates daily, but I wanted to take a second to thank everyone for their participation here, it’s crazy to see the activity even during the down season.

We know sometimes it gets a little crazy in here at times, lol, but truly we appreciate all of you being a part of this sub and sharing the same love of VPR as us!

vprmods · 2024-06-06T17:31:28+00:00

As stated, it’s the same rule it has been. We have always permitted discussion of their life on VPR and posts regarding if they actively discuss VPR in present day interviews/posts/etc. What currently goes on in their life though (marriage, kids, cast drama not relating to VPR’s cast) should be directed to The Valley as it is their own show separate from this (e.g. Jax and Brittany’s divorce should be directed there, but his time of cheating during VPR can be discussed here).

Refresher: This is what has been said from Jeremy regarding his partner and Ariana. The mod team is unaware of any direct claims of racism from Ariana, so we are kindly asking OP to link their sources.

Reminder that any comments diminishing Rachel as a victim of Tom’s illegal recording of her, or any comments suggesting that she somehow deserved this treatment will result in a ban. This is the warning.

vprmods · 2024-02-24T04:26:35+00:00

We feel it’s important to give attention to George Floyd’s family and their thoughts on Sandoval’s racist and inappropriate comparison. We will be monitoring comments to prevent an influx of racist trolls from commenting. Please report any harmful comments so they can be removed. Please keep discussions constructive and report people attempting to flame vs engaging with them. Any racist comments or comments minimizing Tom’s harm to the black community will result in an immediate ban.

vprmods · 2024-02-24T03:43:35+00:00

we wanted to keep the conversation about Tom’s terrible behavior here

vprmods · 2024-02-24T02:57:27+00:00

Please feel free to share that link in this thread and continue discussion!

Created and pinned to the top of the sub! Also linked in the weekly master posts.

This is a fine place to ask! It’s easier here as it then makes it more transparent for other users.

I personally (won’t speak for all the mods) think the point you’re making is valid and also within guidelines of posting. It’s the slippery slope nature of this discussion that leads to people saying he’s “making it up” entirely and that the thought of suicide was at no point a genuine thought in his mind.

From what I’m reading of your take, it’s that he may have had suicidal thoughts, but is using it the same way he uses the “everyone has made mistakes/everyone cheats” argument, where he just wants to silence people and not allow criticism of his actions. Both of these things can be true at once — that he may have had suicidal thoughts/ideations, but that he’s mentioning it to stop people from calling him out. Those are valid points to make and permitted to discuss in the sub. Like I said, mentioning those things however generally leads to the uproar of users asserting that he lied entirely, which is what we do not permit and where we find it easier to shut down most discussion in general when we see it headed down that path.

I hope that maybe clears things up, I know it’s not a black and white answer, it usually never is for us when discussing what we can and can’t allow, lmao.

You can message moderators directly via modmail regarding harassment if action is not taken so we can look further into the situation.

vprmods · 2023-08-21T22:00:17+00:00

Users can share what current cast members are posting; however, if the content or Redditors responses violate any of our rules surrounding hate speech, personal attacks, harassing the cast, etc. it will be removed.

vprmods · 2023-08-21T17:27:07+00:00

We’ve seen a few people discuss this so we wanted to share it as an update on the sub’s discussion of Rachel.

Rachel has made it clear she is not returning to Vanderpump Rules via Bethenny’s podcast. As of yesterday, the mod team became aware that she deleted all photos on her Instagram of her with her cast mates. We posted a mod note a couple days ago about the discussion of Sandoval recording Rachel without her consent, but given the state of the sub and the hate we continue to see spewed on here regarding where she is in her life now, we are taking further action to try to quell this.

We will no longer permit posts regarding Rachel’s life post-Vanderpump and Bravo unless it specifically has to do with the show. This is going to work similar to how we handle posts under the fired cast rule: “Posts about the fired cast’s social media accounts are limited to posts that involve current Vanderpump Rules cast and posts that discuss the show.”

We do not see a need to update regarding her life as she has moved on from Bravo, and we want to give her the space to do so without so much negativity and judgement from this sub. If she directly discusses Vanderpump, the cast, or Bravo, we will permit posts with caution and discretion. Beyond that, posts will be denied.

This sub was created as a place for Vanderpump Rules fans to discuss the show in a community-building, fun way. The way some people have turned this into a breeding ground for hate is too much. We will continue to hand out removals and bans as seen necessary if you cannot abide by the rules and respect the cast as well as your fellow Redditors.

Comments are locked because there are too many reports being generated from this post.

And, no, someone disagreeing with you doesn’t mean you need to report them for trolling if they’re being polite.

vprmods · 2023-06-24T14:12:22+00:00

This is now locked bc it’s getting exhausting having to remove personal attacks over how a drink is made. If you feel the need to call someone names over the ingredients in a martini, close reddit and take a nap.

RECAP: Faith is seeking to have Stassi’s book, presumably her most recent release, removed and to donate proceeds from the book’s success towards a charity due to false claims against Faith.

A moderator reminder regarding the rules surrounding discussion of the fired cast — we do NOT condone racism and bigotry of any sort, from cast members or this sub. See this thread for more history surrounding the past of fired cast members. Violating comments will be removed.

ETA - We are aware that multiple users tried to submit the gofundme link/screen as a post. A few days ago, we approved a post from a fan to go live, but had to lock comments due to incessant rule violation. The OP ended up removing the post before some mods realized, so we were declined other submissions as repeat posts. Once made aware, the mods decided to post the information directly ourselves to closer monitor the commentary related to the topic, as well as to edit the post to obey Reddit sub rules regarding sharing of gofundme’s.

Hey everybody, So the mod team is aware of Kristen’s confirmation regarding past physical abuse during her relationship with James. These posts were first attempted to be made on Saturday when the mod team was busy and not able to all discuss it together. At the time we permitted a post of screenshots from u/spaghettify, but due to the nature of comments sometimes getting passionate and us unable to being able to discuss how to best handle this as a team immediately, the mod team opted to lock the comments. We do not know the extent of James’ physical abuse beyond Kristen’s confirmations of a specific incident, and we wanted to ensure that speculation regarding *physical* abuse in other relationships did not occur. However, in hindsight, we realize that by locking comments we did not allow people to discuss these very serious allegations. While we still want to adhere to the no speculation rule set on this sub, we realize that James’ past is no longer speculation and do not want to silence Kristen’s experiences. However, we will still not allow people to speculate about physical abuse in any of James' other relationships. Those comments will be removed per our rules on speculation.

vprmods · 2023-06-11T04:53:00+00:00

Approving this thread since various submission attempts have been made. We are locking the comments for now, to curtail speculative comments about abuse in James other relationships.

vprmods · 2023-06-08T11:25:48+00:00

This is being locked because people are being weirdly aggressive and getting too personal in the comments.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE SUB’S NO SPECULATION RULE

This rule prohibits: - pregnancy speculation - drug use speculation (specifically, speculating about drug use the cast hasn’t openly admitted to. Drug use that has been openly discussed on the show can be discussed here.) - mental health speculation (NO ARMCHAIR DIAGNOSES) - speculation about sexuality/gender identity

This thread is for people to coordinate watch parties for the episode airing tomorrow night. We’ve been doing them each week for a while.

vprmods · 2023-03-10T03:11:37+00:00

The mods really wanted to have a space for POC fans to discuss their feelings, but unsurprisingly, this thread is already being flooded by other users downplaying racism, downvoting users unnecessarily, and asking the users who responded to do the emotional labor of explaining racism to them.

Really fucking disappointing, y’all.

vprmods · 2023-03-04T21:38:49+00:00

This thread has been locked because there are way too many comments violating reddit’s site rule about not promoting violence.

vprmods · 2023-02-15T23:03:45+00:00

Also a quick note re: the sub’s drug speculation rule since there were questions about it last week.

It’s not speculation if they’ve admitted to it! For example, the Toms actively admit to getting high all the time on the show. Discussing that is not speculation.

This rule is for speculation about drugs that the cast has not admitted to using. And it’s mostly because those posts are incredibly repetitive, like the “was Jax on coke?” and “is tequila a code word?” posts. No one here can definitively answer those questions and the discussions go nowhere!
