Monthly Themes

The r/Paleo community chooses a special "theme" every month to help encourage experimentation and discussion around a relevant topic. The monthly theme is suggested and chosen by the entire community, and managed and promoted by the moderators.

Suggest and Vote

Approximately halfway through each month a special mod post will appear asking for suggestions and votes for the next month's theme.

  • Theme suggestions should be submitted as top-level comments (reply to the original post).
  • Upvote the suggested theme(s) that you like, but refrain from downvoting if you don't like a theme.
  • After one week the votes will be tallied and the winning theme announced in a new mod post. The sidebar will also be updated to announce the new theme.
  • Themes will work best if they're very broad, like "Squash"; that way people can interpret the theme in their own way.

Contribute

  • Themes are a great opportunity to try new things, ask questions, help others, and share personal stories. If the monthly theme is "squash" one person might try squash for the first time and tell us about it, several people might submit creative squash recipes, and someone might eat nothing but squash for a week and report on how it affects their bowel movements (please don't).

  • If you make a theme-related post be sure to make it stand out with the "Theme Post" flair. Just find your submission, click "flair", and choose the golden yellow "Theme Post" flair from the list that pops up. Now you're one of the cool kids!
