From the Moderators:

Hi everyone,

The subreddit will be reopening on Monday 19th June, however there will be substantial rule changes. Reddit has made it abundantly clear that users, not moderators, are the true community leaders and owners of their respective subreddits. So, therefore, we will be changing the community rules to reflect this stance.

Going forward, the only subreddit specific rule is that any content you submit to r/iOS must be something you consider to be iOS related. That’s it. It is what the users determine to be ‘iOS’ content, not us ‘landlords’ or ‘landed gentry’ - as spez would say.

Please be aware that the site-wide Reddit rules are still in place, and something we, and Reddit’s Anti-Evil operations (AEO) will continue to enforce. For more detail on this, please read Reddit’s content policy here.

To sum this up:

No harassment / bullying Respect privacy of others No sexual content of minors No impersonating in a misleading/deceptive manner. Label content correctly (NSFW or not?) No illegal content Do not break/interfere with the website

Reddit enforces these rules and we will be reporting users who break any of those rules to Reddit’s AEO team, we encourage every user to report any content that breaks site-wide rules directly to Reddit as well.

You will be banned from this subreddit if you break any of Reddits site-wide rules.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below. We will be updating our rule-set to reflect these changes.

For those not aware of the ongoing issues with the reddit admins, and would like to know what the hell is going on, please see the below links to get you up to speed.

    Lol, there’s no way Spez is going to pay for content moderators. Doing that would cost money whilst also being an admission of defeat.

    They’ll just force unqualified yes-men into the moderator slots, subsequently leading to absolute catastrophe because content moderation actually requires a hell of a lot of work, and then replace them again. Failed mods get replaced, replacements fail, get replaced with new idiots, wash-rinse-repeat until the entire site is a flaming dumpster fire.
