[**GENERAL RULES**](https://www.reddit.com/r/ExplainTheJoke/about/rules/) <- link for clarification

--------
**1 - Be excellent to each other** No toxic discourse or harassment and respect the humanity of others. This implies no tolerance of any kind of harassment, including their ethnicity/race/gender-orientation. No dogwhistle posts. No witch hunts.

**2 - If text on a meme can easily be googled for the answer or it explains itself, it doesn't belong here**

**3 - Low-effort posts/titles are not allowed**

**4 - Complaining about someone "not getting the joke" is not allowed** Gatekeeping is not tolerated in this sub.

**5 - If you already understood the joke, don't post it just to get some karma**

**6 - If your post is not a joke, it will be removed.**

**7 - Current events/celebrities/influencer questions should instead be posted to /r/OutOfTheLoop**

**8 - NSFW posts/comments must be tagged appropriately**

**9 - No sale threads, promotion, giveaways, assistance/fundraising requests, or self-advertisement**

**10 - Nothing related to self-harm or spreading personal information**

**11 - Keep it about explaining the joke (posts and top-level comments only)**

**12 - Specific Banned Comics/Memes** As requested by the community:

* [Loss](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss) memes
* [The Far Side](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/the-far-side) comics
* [Piper Perri Surrounded](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/piper-perri-surrounded) memes
* [StoneToss comics](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/stonetoss) [{2}](https://www.reddit.com/r/StonetossIsANazi/s/ajhu5kgEJj)

--------

**Non-Rules** 

--------
* PLEASE report any bots that you see. They typically have 6-7 month old accounts that only just started their first post 1-2 days ago, but sometimes they can be 1yr old.
* DO NOT abuse the report button. I will report any abuse of the button to reddit admins, and you can enjoy your site-wide punishments.
* Repost removal gets handled by bots. If it's a bad crop of a previous post, report it as breaking Rule 1 so mods can remove it.
* I recommend using websites like [saucenao.com](https://saucenao.com/) | [Google Images](https://images.google.com/) | [Tineye](https://tineye.com/) to search for your joke first, but it is NOT required.
* Send a modmail if you have any other rule suggestions/questions.
