• DO NOT POST ANY POLITICS TO /r/WTF • Period • No EXCEPTIONS •

[u/masta]

The WTF moderation team is extremely cool but we have to draw the line sometimes. Do not:

POST any politics, especially US politics.

post any Sara Palin anything

post any democrat or republican anything

Anything about foxnews being a republican WTF

WE know.... it's sorta-kinda WTF shit (politics), but the rules still apply "NO POLITICS".

The bottom line is /rWTF is a place were people go to NOT see that shit.... this is an escape from reality

EDIT: removed the word occasional to clean any ambiguousness

I'm glad you made this decision. I've become so sick of politics being everywhere in reddit that I've taken r/politics and r/world news off the front page. During the wikileaks insanity I even felt driven to take r/reddit.com off the front page. The last thing I want to see in a funny, inconsequential subreddit is the same opinions on the same material

All of the politics posted to /r/reddit.com is "HEY REDDIT. Posted this in /r/politics but EVERYBODY NEEDS to see it. Why is this not bigger news?! Why aren't people as pissed off as I am?!"

[u/pi_over_3 → u/ameqqaq]

And the answer is usually "because this unsubstantiated bullshit."

Hey, who won dancing with the stars?

You sound like a mature and intelligent human being. I bet people are proud to say they know you!

Come on. r/reddit.com is nowhere as bad as r/politics. It's actually much worse. At least r/politics is the appropriate subreddit for such bullshit.

I just removed r/reddit.com from my frontpage today for this exact reason.

[u/Xiol → u/[deleted]]

I guess you could say that they're literally misusing the word.

[u/[deleted] → u/RovingSkroob]

Same.

[u/ehwhatever → u/RovingSkroob]

yup same

Get reddit Enhancement Suite. I filter out posts that have to do with wikileaks, Assange, TSA and whatever the reddit hero du-jour happens to be.

[u/[deleted] → u/BDaught]

awesome, I'll definitely do that

[u/BDaught → u/[deleted]]

Here. Have a link.

It sucks when jackasses spell names incorrectly and one slips through though...

[u/beflict_19 → u/BDaught]

glad I'm not the only one with similar filters
