**[A celebrity request is a request for *any* single person, or a person in a group of fewer than 20](http://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/comments/z6cua/a_few_words_from_your_friendly_moderatorremoved/). NOTE: Celebrities are still welcomed to post here, people just cannot request for them to do so.**

Moderators can use their discretion to remove posts they think need to be (advertising, repeated reposting of the AMA, no identification [My friend said I should do an AMA, AMA.], or otherwise posts that we feel may deteriorate the subreddit.

**"Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted.** Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.

***Note the existence of two similar subreddits: [/r/AMA](http://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/) and [/r/IAmA](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/). The main difference is that we have about 50x less the subscribers.***

But this isn't necessarily bad! Maybe you want fewer people to read your story, or you have decided that your AMA does not warrant a large audience. In any case, that's fine with us, as long as you **make sure you understand the difference before posting.**

If you feel that you posted your story in the wrong place, don't worry. **Just delete it and post it in the right place**.

**About downvotes:**

In order to protect minority opinions, comment downvotes have been disabled via CSS. Without accountability, redditquette guidelines mean nothing and will only result in a combination of unconscious groupthink (the human mind naturally will try to agree with the majority opinion of the social group he identifies with) and de facto censorship (downvotes *literally* hide comments from view).  Combined, this will lead to a cycle where only the opinions held by the majority will considered without bias.

For this reason, downvotes have been eliminated.
