#Your post should 

- Have a detailed title. "Need help" is not detailed enough. 
- Describe briefly the individuals involved
- A brief run down of the problem 
- A desired outcome
- Request for advice 
- A tl:dr 

Good posts are around 300-500 words and contain the above. 

Things your post cannot be 

- A rant without a question 
- A poll or general discussion topic
- Unsolicited advice on any subject
- A letter to someone else 
- A request for DMs
- A shitpost 
- Advertisement for your youtube/blog/social media 
- Topic about minors (under 18)
- Abuse of any kind

#No more judgments 

Your post is a moral judgement if it contains any of the following 

- Is it normal?
- Is it right/wrong?
- Am I right/wrong?
- Any variation of “Am I The Asshole?”, including AITA
- Would I be the asshole if….?
- Does anybody else,,.?
- Should I have done this…?
- Am I justified…?
- Is this a big deal?
- Is this reasonable?

If your post can be answered with a yes or no question, it’s moral judgement and will be removed.
