#The Rules:

 ||
:-:|:-:
Stale topics | Topics on our Stale Topics list are banned as they have been discussed many times. [Please see here for our stale topics.](/r/popheads/wiki/index/stale-topics#st) Certain [comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/wiki/index/stale-topics#wiki_banned_comments) are also banned to increase the quality of discussion. Stale topics are constantly changing, and it is ultimately up to the discretion of the moderators whether a topic is stale or not.
Low effort discussions | Discussion posts should try to foster discussion, the body of the text post must encourage discussion or offer the original poster's thoughts. Comments must also explain their answers. Any discussion posts that ask for recommendations, help to make a playlist, or only ask for people to name songs/albums/artists that fit a certain criteria **without explanation/justification** will be redirected to the Daily Discussion thread.
Non-newsworthy posts | Please only submit pop music news-related articles, videos, images or links that are topical and noteworthy. Though posts such as articles, videos, links or pictures consisting of non-newsworthy content will be removed, they are always welcome to be posted in Daily Discussion Threads. Please do not editorialize article or interview titles except for cases of major announcements. [Guidelines for teasers and Instagram posts.](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/wiki/index/#wiki_rules_and_guidelines)
Follow reddit rules/reddiquette | This is a given.
Tabloid material | This subreddit forbids tabloid material that focuses on non-newsworthy drama, sensationalist content, and/or dubious sources. In order for gossip to be considered newsworthy, it must either be reported on by a major, reliable news source or have been addressed by the artist in question. Please redirect your content to the daily gossip megathread, Teatime & Trending Topics.
No Spam | Any self-promotional posts should be from established members of the community. We take this very seriously, and any spam is unacceptable and will be removed. Users must have at least 10 posts/comments spread out over a few months on the subreddit to self-promote.
Recent songs only | Only songs & videos released within the last 30 days can be posted. The sub only allows FRESH music after it has been officially released in the UK. This mainly refers to Friday releases; other posts are generally released worldwide. Always remember to use the 'Artist - Song' title format. Music videos are only allowed on or after the advertised YouTube premiere time. Each user can only submit a maximum of 3 FRESH posts per 24 hours, with a minimum of 10 minute intervals between each submission.
Keep things civil | Please do not come here for the sole reason of harassment/flaming. Keep things civil. Use of discriminatory language isn't appreciated. Posts that appear to be baiting arguments will be removed. Attacking other users will warrant a ban. Please keep negative "stan-twitter"-isms on stan twitter.
No illegal media|Do not post illegal streams or downloads of songs/albums. Asking for or posting instructions on how you can get it is also not allowed. These are banned on reddit sitewide, and sharing such material endangers our whole community. If it was an honest mistake, please message us; we'll try to be as lenient as possible. Video clip posts from unofficial sources will be removed as well.
Pop music?|We are purposely vague on what we consider pop, because it's a difficult genre to define. Usually we'll try to focus on more mainstream pop, but **pop-adjacent artists are allowed**. In general, the mods trust you all to post relevant music. Music will generally not be removed by a moderator unless it is deemed shitposty or too irrelevant to the subreddit. This rule is subject to moderator discretion, but **if you feel a removed post was relevant please notify us**!
Flairing Posts | Flairs are NOT manually typed in the thread title – please select the flair either during or after submitting by clicking on the flair button that looks like a little dog tag and choosing the adequate option.
Reposts|Please check the subreddit for articles and streams that have been posted already.
No Queue Flooding | Users can only submit a maximum of 3 posts per 24 hours, with a minimum of 10 minute intervals between each post submission. This rule applies to all post flairs.
Teatime threads should exclusively have tea | Teatime threads should only have news or your reaction to news. You not liking the last New Music that dropped isn't tea and belongs in the Daily Discussion Threads.
Leak Threads | Leak threads are to be contained in the Daily Discussion and Teatime & Trending Topics threads and are not allowed as its own post. Posting a link to a leak results into a temporary ban.

#Use the tags:

* **FRESH**: New songs released in the last 30 days. If an album or song is region locked (meaning that it isn't available until Midnight in your region), please wait until after it's been released **in the UK** (which typically is Midnight GMT (UTC+0) but Midnight BST (UTC+1) during Daylight Savings) to post it. Each user may only post multiple [FRESH] streams 10 minutes apart. 

* **FRESH ALBUM**: Same rules as [FRESH] apply, but this is to be used for albums and mixtapes. The 10 minute rule applies too.

* **FRESH EP**: Same as above but with EPs. 

* **FRESH VIDEO**: Newly released music videos.

* **PERFORMANCE**: New live performances from recent awards/TV shows. Only official sources are allowed, i.e. the official YouTube channel of the award/TV show, so **no fan footage**. 

* **NEWS**: Newly released info by **official** artist sources or news publications.

* **ARTICLE**: Non-news related links, such as interviews, reviews, or other write-ups. Videos will be included under this until we figure out something that isn't useless.

* **DISCUSSION**: Thought-provoking posts that start discussions. Please write something in the textbox to kick off the discussion (e.g. suggesting examples or providing your own opinion), don't just pose a question. This is **not for links.**

* **LEAK**: Thread announcing that a project has leaked. Discussing the leaks is fine, but **no links**. Illegal links are banned sitewide on reddit. 

* **ORIGINAL**: Links to your own material that you'd like to share with the subreddit. Only OC from regular members will be allowed.

* **SERIOUS**: For any content with sensitive subject matter. No joking or memes allowed in the comments.

Special flairs:

* **WEEKLY**: Only to be used on mod-approved weekly threads. See the thread schedule.

* **ANNOUNCEMENT**: Official statements from the moderators.

* **RATE** and **RATE REVEAL**: Threads for the monthly rates, posted by the hosts.

* **MEGATHREAD**: All-encompassing threads accommodating important/notable releases or events. If you would like to create a megathread please ask through modmail.

* **GAME**: Informal, fun threads. *Please ask the moderators through modmail for permission to host these*.
