đRules
This page contains information on the subreddit rules.
Last Update: February 18, 2022
The rules outlined below went into effect on the above date.
Keep submissions on-topic. No bandwagon trend posts. All submissions must be related to marching band, drum corps, or instrumental music. A submission is likely off-topic if it contains random content along with a relevant title, or if the submission requires clarification on why it is on-topic. Additionally, bandwagon trend posts that clutter the subreddit, including repeated posts with similar or exact images, questions, and memes, are not allowed.
Use common sense. Maintain common sense when navigating and participating in the subreddit. This includes, but is not limited to: keeping comments on-topic; following the Reddit Content Policy and reddiquette; refraining from submitting spam or spreading misinformation; refraining from sharing personally identifiable information; refraining from sharing account passwords or content from premium video services; and maintaining a secure subreddit environment.
No NSFW content or discussion, including that of a sexual nature. Do not share content, start discussion, or leave comments that are Not Safe For Work (NSFW), including that of a sexual nature. Marking a submission as NSFW does NOT exempt it from this rule.
No harassment or targeting of other members. Do not harass, target, dox, or bring down another community member, person, band, group, or circuit.
No general fundraisers. Fundraisers for exceptional circumstances require moderator permission. Do not share general fundraisers, as only fundraisers for exceptional circumstances may be allowed as long as permission is requested. To have an exceptional fundraiser circumstance considered, please fill out the Feedback & Inquiry Form. Find more information in the subreddit wiki.
Do not promote or advertise without moderator permission. Only items listed in rule 7 are exempt. Do not promote or advertise products, services, blogs, social media pages, YouTube channels, or outside communities not previously approved, exempted under rule 7, or listed in our sidebar. To request permission to post a promotion, please fill out the Feedback & Inquiry Form. Find more information in the subreddit wiki.
Educational content, compositions, and recommendations are exempt from rule 6 (with limitations). The following exemptions apply to the Promotion Rule (rule 6). For educational content, a community member may post educational content once a week. For compositions, a community member may post two compositions a week. For recommendations, products and services may be recommended to others if they are responding to another community member's submission. The recommender must have genuinely heard of (or used) the product/service and not be affiliated with it.
Seeking advice on the subreddit may not be the best way to get help. Community members are not qualified to provide mediation, legal advice, medical advice, or advice for exceptional circumstances. While members may be able to point to some resources or provide anecdotal advice, it is advisable to find help with a trusted adult or resource, rather than seek advice through the subreddit. If someone decides to use the resources or follow advice provided by a community member, the subreddit and that member shall not be held responsible for any resulting outcome.
All subreddit members are responsible for reading the rules, including the detailed rule descriptions, and staying up-to-date with any rule changes. Breaking a rule may result in a locked submission, removed submission, formal warning, temporary ban, or permanent ban, depending on the severity and frequency of the rule violation. Moderators reserve the right to take action on a violation that impacts the well-being of the subreddit, even if the violation is not explicitly stated in the rules.
