Happy 2024 everyone!
The moderators are excited for another year full of delightful pug silliness! Our subreddit has grown by leaps and bounds over the recent years, and because of this we have had to update our community rules. Please take a moment to review the revised and new rules, which we hope will improve the experience for all of our members!
The Cliffnotes version:
- Diagnosis requests are no longer permitted. If you already have a diagnosis and want to ask advice about how to manage it, that's OK! But if you are worried enough about something to post about it, please consult a vet!
- "Vote" requests are prohibited. I know, everyone wants their dog to be crowned "America's Favorite Pet". But we find these posts do not add value to the subreddit, and many of the organizations that administer these contests are for-profit.
- Don't stir the pot. Yes, posts asking "Why do people hate pugs so much?" get lots of engagement. But they also can incite negative discourse and it causes a lot of work for us mods.
That's it! If you have any feedback on these changes, please message us directly. Thank you to you and your pups for making this subreddit one of the happiest places on the internet.
