Welcome new users: let’s refresh subreddit rules together. Follow up for the “toxicky subreddit” post – for the limited period of time we are restricting usage of polarizing words

Hi r/Slovakia, mods talking.

Our subreddit is growing really heavily and it’s a big time for us. There are already 95 000 people here. Thanks everyone who joined recently but let’s have some ground rules here.

There is one really mandatory rule for this subreddit and it is to **Follow reddiquette**.

* Reddiquette is a set of site-wide guidelines that are mandatory to follow in r/Slovakia. The Rules can be found [here](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439).
* Please find a time to read those rules before posting in r/Slovakia to avoid being deleted because of violation of the reddiquette.

Other rules are:

* **Don’t be rude or offensive to other users**
* Name calling, personal attacks, doxxing, etc. will not be tolerated. Disagreements need not turn into insults.
* **Don’t spam Youtuber’s content**
* Don’t promote your favorite Youtuber here. You can find their content at Youtube and if you are interested click subscribe. Don’t bother others with their challenges, content and SPAM here please.
* Controversial or OC videos that can have solid discussion are more than welcome.
* **Please credit original photographers**
* When posting photos, please make sure to credit the original photographer or source of the photo.
* **Maximum of 2 post per user per day**
* In regard to new submissions: DON’T Flood our subreddit with a lot of stories in a short span of time. By doing this you flood the new queue. Be warned, your future submissions may be automatically blocked by the reddit spam filter. Shadow banning (you can see your posts and votes, but no one else can) can, and will, take place in more severe cases.

As the followup for the post “[toxicky subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Slovakia/comments/qy4mz3/toxicky_subreddit/)” which we mostly agreed on, for the short period of time we are restricting usage of **polarizing words** (which should be anyway forbidden to use by rule **Don’t be rude or offensive to other users**).

We are adding **Don’t use polarizing words** rule for limited time being, so please **avoid use of polarizing words in the discussion such as “dezolát”, “slniečkar” etc. It does not add any value to the discussion and it just heat up “discussion”, raise usage of strong language and hate in the discussion.**

If you came across those words in the discussion, please report them.

Anyway, let’s give you also some of the statistics for subreddit 🙂

Currently we have a little over than **236,797** page views in the last **7** days. Last month you re-visited the subreddit in about **906,839** times from **34,364** unique users! (Top is February 2021 with 66,656 uniques and 557,337 pageviews)

***Thank you all who participate in making this subreddit active with your submissions (posts, comments) and making it also a better place with reports.***
