On the first subject:

The subreddit is a place for people to ask for advice on how to proceed next. I know it sounds dumb, but questions like " Is this normal? ", " Am I wrong", " Am I an asshole", " Is this fair" or basically any questions asking about whether something that happened in the past was okay… these types of aren' t requesting advice on what to do next, so they' re not appropriate for the particular subreddit.

Instead, posts should ask questions like

• " what should I do next? " or

• " how do I do this? " or

• " how do i fix this? " etc .

If you have a question around some thing you believe you want to do but aren' t sure in the event that it' s a good idea, instead of asking (for instance) " is this a good idea" or even " would I function as the asshole, " try to motivate depth, like " I' m thinking about doing this. What do you think I should do right here? " That way you' ll get better answers than just a ' yes' or ' number ' Or at the very least, individuals might tell you why you should do the thing you already have in your mind.

We' re currently instantly removing variations of the following (these phrases aren' t all exact):

" Is this normal? ", " Am I wrong", " Is it wrong", " Am I the particular asshole", " Am I in the wrong", " Would certainly I be an asshole", " Would I function as the asshole", " AITA", " WIBTA", " Should I have done", " Who' s i9000 right here", " Had been I wrong", " Should I have to", " Was I overreacting", " are I justified", " will be reasonable", " Am We at fault", " Had been it irresponsible for", " am I out of line", " is this a big deal", " Isn' t that fucked up? ", " Am I the poor one", " Am We being too sensitive", " Is it weird", " Was I right"

So hopefully this provides you an idea of exactly what shouldn' t be submitted here. If your question is a yes/no question about something that happened in the past (like those people are), change your question.

On the second topic:

if you have a question regarding any sexual situations concerning minors (anyone under 18 for the purposes of this subreddit; it doesn' t matter your local laws say), actually concerns around potential grooming, please don' t blog post them here.

In the event that you' re a minor and also have questions involving sexual topics, consider reaching out to either your parents or sex education/family life resources in your college on these topics, or even if you' re not comfortable, consider a resource such as:

• Scarleteen

If you' re a small or know of a minor with sexual or potentially sex interactions with an adult, rather than submitting here, please speak with a teacher, therapist, counselor, interpersonal worker, or other mandatory reporter or appropriate mature with your concerns and unquestionably make use of the following resources:

• Darkness to Light: children sex abuse prevention useful resource.

• A confidential hotline to a trained advisor who can assist you to navigate this

• International Assets

It' s secure to say that no one right here on this subreddit is professionally, legally, or ethically certified to give advice on these topics, so we' re deferring to expert resources and hotlines like the ones above.

When reporting these types of, feel free to report these articles with the sexualization of minors option in the report listing, as it' s becoming enforced under that Reddit content rule.

We owe a deeper rules reminder soon, but the above should protect the most pressing issues.
