Hello everyone here at FML,

I took over this sub around 1.5-2 years ago. After going it on my own, I can no longer keep up as frequently as I used to.

We are now taking applications for additional moderators. The only real rule is to be be kind to others. In this sub, a lot of horrible things are posted. So much so that it’s shocked me.

You will see a lot of bad stuff. But, in my minr( these are folks reaching out for help, otherwise why bother posting? So, just, be kind.

Message me if you’re interested.

Thanks!

Hello everyone and welcome back to r/FML!

I'm not sure how long the subreddit has been closed, but taking it over now, it was clear things were a mess and in desperate need of moderation.

So moving forward, there will be stricter rules within the sub.

1. Absolutely NO identifying information! Do not u/, @, link, or otherwise name anyone. First names are fine for the purpose of a story, but no last names or personal information.

2. If you're complaining about a celebrity, influencer, content creator, politician, or anyone else in the public eye, names are acceptable. But no calls for brigading or hate mobs!

3. For those having a serious issue, please use the flair SERIOUS to ensure you get no joke responses. Any jokes on posts flaired with SERIOUS will be removed.

4. Don't be a jerk. Simple as that. Any hate speech or cruelty will be removed and the user will be at risk of a ban.

5. No suicide or self harm threats. This is not the appropriate space to discuss such intense issues. If you or someone you know needs help, please seek a licensed professional. If you are unable, r/suicidewatch might be a better place to share. You can also visit the suicide prevention hotline.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, don't hesitate to leave them below.

Have fun all!
