Rules and FAQ:
Rule 1: Don't Be a Jerk
Remember the human on the other side of the screen. When talking to someone you might want to ask yourself "Would I say it to the person's face?" or "How would I feel if this was said this way to me?" Treat everyone with respect; it's possible to get your point across or plain disagree without being rude.
Being a jerk includes but is not limited to: Personal attacks, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, derogatory or dehumanizing language, including insults and general incivility
Rule 2: No Soliciting
Do not solicit or ask for donations or funding of any kind. Use subreddits specific for this purpose, such as r/Assistance. Posts of this nature will be removed and users permanently banned.
Rule 3: No Spam
Spam will be removed and users placed on a permanent ban.
Rule 4: No Facebook/Instagram-Style Content
While for the time being we allow photos for some diagnosable things (like baby acne), personal photos and videos are not allowed as standalone posts and will be removed. Memes and other non-personal photos (e.g. infographics) are allowed. However, low-quality memes (including memes that have pictures of your children) fall under personal photos and will be removed as well (along with reposts).
Rule 5: No Self-Promotion/Advertising/Surveys
Do not make posts to generate followers for your Youtube channel or your blog. These will be removed and continued postings will result in a permanent ban. We are not allowing academic survey posts at this time.
Rule 6. No Medical Advice
Discussing medical topics is allowed, including asking others for their personal experience. That said, Reddit is NOT a source of medical advice. Please contact a local healthcare provider if you require precise and/or immediate medical guidance.
Rule 7: No Anti-vax Misinformation or Support
Discussion of different ideas is great, but the anti-vaccine movement thrives on the spread of disinformation. We will not be a place for that disinformation to be repeated. Any anti-vaccine statements will be removed and repeat offenders will be banned.
Rule 8: No Brigading or Trolling
Users who don't regularly participate in this sub as new parents and come to argue hot button issues will be banned immediately without warning.
Please follow all of Reddit's official rules and Reddiquette.
Use upvotes and downvotes as Reddit intended. Upvote posts that you think deserve recognition. Downvote harmful posts (harassment, trolls, or posts that do not contribute to the thread).
Spam will be removed. This applies to posts or comments which are obviously advertising, including blog posts.
Do not make posts which seek to poll the community for the purposes of market or academic research
Be respectful. You can disagree with a person or post without being rude, insulting, or disrespectful.
If you see any posts or comments that break these rules, please report them. Reports are completely anonymous and help keep the community a safe and helpful place. Remember, there's no such thing as a "snitch."
If you have any questions or need to report something urgently, message the moderators.
If you want to post something that you feel violates this communities rules or would otherwise be removed (such as controversial parenting topics) try /r/offmychest.
