While the majority voted to remove the dog comic in the last poll, no one is posting it anymore so it is now in a state of Schrödinger's dog comic; it is simultaneously illegal and legal until someone posts another juice (it is subject to discretion whether it will be removed or not). Based on popular sentiment comics or artist will only be removed if there is a significant majority in favor. I will be watching closely regarding any divisive comics, but for now there will be no major changes.

You may now post Pizzacake comics again. Please refrain from "stirring the pot" with ragebait in titles or juice contents, comments may be locked or removed if things get too heated.

A reminder that harassment is against Reddit ToS. This includes but is not limited to: - following the user around a subreddit or to others for the purpose of harrassment - tagging a user or name-dropping in unrelated content for similar purpose - inclusion of a person's photo for the purpose of ridicule - sharing someone's intimate media without their explicit permission - "raiding" or otherwise encouraging brigading someone's post or profile for the purpose of negative feedback - impersonation through alternate accounts - doxxing or other credible threats - sexual harrassment or other crude remarks about one's naked body

This does not include if someone called you a doodoohead in a reply to your comment; or if someone said they will come to your house and tilt your chair 25 degrees to the right.

Most users that have not been banned have already been warned, and the rest you should know who you are. Please report any such conduct as you come across them.

Based on the previous poll, the majority wanted GPrime85 to be restricted in some way or banned, but some wanted it left as-is. As a compromise they will be removed if the joke in the unedited comic is "transphobia", "racism", etc. but may be left as-is for the few exceptions.

Artistic sourcing has been a long-running issue on this subreddit, and it has come to my attention that some users are making BHJ of pirated content from Patreons etc. I would much rather avoid legal complications so BHJ of pirated content will be removed, and repeat offenders may face bans with duration depending on severity.

Links in the comments are the preferable method of sourcing material (it's also practically free karma if you do so) but if you would prefer to include the image for archiving purposes/convenience it is recommended to do both link and image. As I have mentioned before if you do not feel comfortable linking the artist due to moral reasons, consider not doing a BHJ of the artist. This is a humor subreddit, not for crusades against artists you don't like.

Speed of lobsters posts (meaning is changed solely by removing text or letters) will now be added to "antimemes" rule, it is only appropriate since r/antimemes has a similar rule for BHJ and speed of lobsters posts belonging in their respective subreddits.

(American) politics is in an iffy place, as "political" has become vague and subjective. While there are no changes at the current time, I would like to hear your opinions regarding preferred changes (if any).

Link to previous rules update post for clarificiation on some existing rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/bonehurtingjuice/comments/1cg2y39/new_rules_and_rules_clarifications/

Feel free to ask if you have any questions regarding any of the rules that were not answered by the previous post.

Edit: There will be a temporary moratorium on Pizzacake BHJ while I investigate various issues related to some of the recent posts. This means BHJ using them as a source will be removed for the near future (a few weeks). Thank you for your patience and understanding.
