Creepy PMs FAQ
What is Creepy PMs?
CreepyPMs is a subreddit for posting creepy, inappropriate, bizarre, awkward, or offensive PMs. Consider everything here to be adult material, and possibly triggering.
CreepyPMs is also a support sub, a safe space for people who have been creeped on. That means comments that are not conducive to a supportive and positive environment may be removed, even if they don't violate the rules.
What kind of community is r/creepyPMs?
We are feminist and women-friendly. You don't have to identify as such, but you must be respectful of the environment. Low-substance humor and stale hivemind circlejerks are not welcome.
Is it OK to share personal anecdotes and stories?
Yes, especially if they are relevant to the post. However, our rules still apply. If your story defends or supports the creep, derails the discussion, or isn't empathetic towards the recipient of the messages, it will be removed. Questions regarding whether or not you come off as creepy should be directed to r/relationships.

NEW RULE, PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING
ALL personal information must now be FULLY censored—this includes your own selfies, your profile/user photo, and your username if it does not match your Reddit handle.
This is for your safety. The last thing we want is for our users to be targeted after their photo or personal information was visible in a post.
Read this post for a complete breakdown of how you should be censoring your submissions. You can also find it in Other Helpful Links below👇

Rule One: Submission Guidelines
REMEMBER: CreepyPMs is a support sub.
The interpretation, definition, and enforcement of these rules is at the discretion of the mods. Click here for more information about the rules.
🔹 Private messages only, except on Wednesdays.
🔹 Messages from anonymous chat apps (Amino, Omegle, Whisper, etc.) are only allowed on Wednesdays.
🔹 Video submissions are not allowed.
🔹 Baited content is not allowed.
🔹 No reposts.
🔹 Remove all identifying info, including your own. Censor ALL—even your own—profile pictures and usernames, even if the creep's user photo isn't of themselves, or they don't use their real name. That includes links as well. When in doubt, block it out.
🔹 All pictures of body parts must be blocked out. This includes face pictures, body pictures, and NSFW pictures. This is to prevent body-shaming, as we do not tolerate such.
🔹 Make use of the tags and flairs (users are now able to add certain flairs to their submissions). Message the mods if you would like another flair added.
🔹 If your post is not OC, it must be tagged accordingly. Users are now able to add not OC flair to their posts. Please credit the original source whenever possible.
🔹 Images must be hosted on Imgur or Reddit.
🔹 Meta posts must be approved by the mods before being submitted.
🔹 Mods may flair your submission at their discretion.
🔹 We recommend using a throwaway.
🔹 If you receive an abusive/creepy PM as a result of your post here, send the mods an unedited screenshot.
Use the report button or message the mods to report comments that violate the rules. We listen.

Rule Two: Be Civil and Supportive
REMEMBER: CreepyPMs is a support sub.
The interpretation, definition, and enforcement of these rules is at the discretion of the mods. Click here for more information about the rules.
🔹 We have zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, generalizations, and being a jerk in general. This means that if you are being unnecessarily rude to OP or any other commenter your comments can and probably will be removed!
🔹 Arguing semantics about the definition of "pedophilia" is not allowed.
🔹 OP does not need to defend their reactions or responses. Comments that criticize the way OP handled the interaction will be removed.
🔹 Don't say "it's not creepy." We encourage all kinds of posts from mildly off-putting to slightly weird to downright scary.
🔹 Threats of violence/death wishes are not allowed.
🔹 Do not ask for personal information.
🔹 No body-shaming, no kink-shaming, no slut-shaming.
🔹 Do not creep in the comments. This includes flirting with OP, asking for pics, and asking if the creep is hot.
🔹 Absolutely no victim-blaming or creep-defending.
🔹 No armchair psychology/diagnoses.
🔹 Make use of quotes or the /s tag if your joke could be misinterpreted as a rule-breaking comment.
🔹 Constructive advice is welcome unless marked No Advice Wanted. Simplistic advice or observations like, "just block them!" are not constructive and will be removed.
🔹 Don't derail.
🔹 Please censor images of body parts and block completely. This includes face pictures, body pictures, and definitely NSFW pictures. This is to prevent body-shaming and also because we don't want to see it any more than you did.
🔹 If you have concerns or problems with a post send a message to modmail so that we can address them.
🔹 Message the mods to discuss concerns about moderation, including removed comments. Do not reply to comment removals in the thread.
Use the report button or message the mods to report comments that violate the rules. We listen.
