**Guidelines**

**1 - True blunders only**

Simply being nerdy just isn’t going to cut it. If you wore your “nerd glasses because you thought you were so hipster,” that’s not enough of a blunder.

Halloween costumes do not count!

**2 - You must have a creative title.**

No "Puberty has been good to me." or "LOL I was random!" type titles. This is rule is entirely decided by the mods' discretion. 

**3 - Your blunder must have been at least 3 years ago**

No "still blundering"

**4 - Childhood photos are great, as long as they actually depict a blunder.**

Don't post a picture of yourself as a child just because you're dressed as a child, playing with your Furby, in a sandbox, etc. This isn't #ThrowbackThursday. If it's an actually embarrassing childhood photo though, then fantastic! 

**5 - It’s suggested that you provide a “now” picture, but you don't HAVE to.** 

Please post your updated picture as a comment on the original post. Separate posts that share an updated picture will be removed.

If the OP hasn't provided a "now" picture, it’s okay to request one, but *don't* push it: not everyone wants their current photo on Reddit. Do not go through the OPs post history and post one for them either.

**6 - Ask permission if there are other people in the photo**

Especially if someone else is the subject of the photo. This isn’t the place to get your blackmail on.

**7 - Be thoughtful when replying**

We have absolutely zero tolerance for:

* Blatant insults, racism, homo/transphobia, trolling, threats, or “you’re still blundering”-type comments.

* "10/10- would bang", "15 year old me would have wanted to be all over you" or "damn, you certainly developed nicely" -type comments

* Creepy compliments

* Certain subreddits are prohibited to linking to. Please see the banned words list.

Comments containing some specific words are automatically banned. [Here is a full list](https://www.reddit.com/r/blunderyears/wiki/banned_words).

Please report comments that violate this rule. Violations of this rule can and will result in an immediate ban!

**8 - No posting personal information**

This includes for yourself or other people, and refers to, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, email addresses, facebook or other social media accounts.

**9 - Report content that breaks the rules**

We can't keep an eye on every single post and comment in the subreddit 24/7. Don't hesitate to contact the moderators for any reason.

**10 - All posts are subject to removal without notice at the mods' discretion if the post does not catch on.**

We strive to keep the quality of the posts at a high level and if your post does not catch on then it probably does not belong here in the first place.

**11 - No gatekeeping comments**

Please do not make comments regarding gatekeeping of any kind. Examples include but are not limited to: "No blunder here", "Read the rules this is not a blunder". The first offense will result in a one day ban as a warning and a second offense will result in a permanent ban.


That’s it! Have fun and laugh at each other, and yourself!
