Hi all. It's been a long time since we made any kind of mod post, but as the subreddit is rapidly approaching 500k members it's probably about time we remind everyone of our rules.

Content Policy / TOS

Firstly - as a reddit user you are required to follow reddit's Content Policy (AKA Terms of Service, TOS, or reddit-wide rules). It would be a good idea to read these yourselves. However, in short: don't post anything illegal, don't impersonate anyone, don't spam, don't abuse or harass anyone, don't manipulate content (asking for upvotes/engagement), & arguably most importantly... abide by community rules.

But really. Please read them yourselves: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

Rediquette

'Rediquette' is "an informal expression of the values of many redditors". Again, you should really read this yourself but basically: don't be an arsehole, up & downvote appropriately, report spam & inappropriate content, don't farm engagement ("comment if X", "show me love", sensationalise titles etc.), don't repost.

No, but really. Please read them yourselves: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439

r/Twinks Rules

^{This is not a comprehensive list of our rules. You can always read our most up-to-date rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/twinks/about/rules}

Rule 1 - Submissions should match the 'Twink' description.

• A "Twink" is a young gay man with a slender, ectomorph build, with little-to-no body hair, approximately aged 18-25.
• This does not mean that all twinks are 100% hairless or emaciated.

Note: There is a substantial subjective element to the definition of a twink. Please don't take offence if your post gets removed.

Rule 2 - Submissions should be body-oriented.

• Submissions should showcase enough of the Twink's body to easily ascertain that they're looking at a Twink.
• Content that is primarily a close-up of a penis or butt, or posts in which everyone is fully/mostly clothed may be removed.

Note: This rule catches the most people out by far. If we can't easily identify that you are a twink then your post will be removed. A good rule of thumb would be - if your naked stomach/chest isn't visible then it's probably not showing enough of your body.

Rule 4 - Don't post your contact info, social media profiles, or chat usernames.

• Don't share your contact info, social media, or usernames in thread titles, comments, or embedded watermarks.
• If you try to bypass the spam filter with intentional typos, you will be permanently banned.

Rule 5 - Don't promote paid content or premium sites.

• This subreddit is not your advertising platform. Any attempt to promote or link to any type of paid content or "premium" sites/services will lead to a permanent ban.
• This includes in your title, comments, watermarks, username, or via PMs. As well as if your profile/bio has a lot of links or references of this nature.

Note: There are hundreds of subreddits either specifically made to promote your OF or those that allow it in some way. r/Twinks is not one of them. In addition to the above specifics if we believe your primary purpose for being on reddit is to advertise paid content you may be banned without warning.

Rule 6 - Don’t ask for upvotes or engagement.

• Don't ask others to upvote or 'like' your content.
• Don't ask for engagement such as comments or shares, nor 'bait' engagement with low-effort titles or 'rage-bait' questions/scenarios.

Note: Asking for upvotes and engagement is against reddit's Content Policy. We must remove this to follow reddit's own rules. Baiting engagement is against rediquette and we choose to enforce it similarly.

Rule 9 - Watermark guidelines.

• If you wish to include a watermark to protect your content, only use your Reddit username.

Note: We understand that some people think it's very important to protect their content with a watermark, however in order to adhere to our stance regarding spam, OF etc. it must simply be your reddit username and nothing else.

Rule 11 - Adults only.

• Redditors must be over the age of 18 to participate in this subreddit.
• Do not submit content containing minors or content that otherwise sexualizes minors.

Note: It is essential that everyone participating in the subreddit is over 18, whether posted themselves or by other people. If you know you look quite young then please include your age in the title. Where we cannot easily identify someone's age we may require you to verify - this is only done at our request.
