1. Feel free to speak your mind

This is a place where all who want to get something off their chest, can get something off their chest. The Mods at r/TrueOffMyChest will never enforce any rules that exclude any race/gender/etc. or other views from posting in r/TrueOffMyChest. We ask that you do the same.

2. Do not break sitewide rules

Due to the nature of this subreddit, telling anyone to kill themselves will be an automatic, permanent ban. This is a place where people come to share some of their darkest secrets, things that might already put them into a volatile mental state. Again, there is a no tolerance policy for this.
Posts involving pedophilia or minors in sexual situations will likely be removed
Posts wishing violence on anyone will be removed.
Begging for karma is against Reddit ToS and will be removed.

3. Posts must be on topic

No Circlejerking - Repeated posts on the same topic within a 24 hour period is considered circlejerking. Please find an active thread on the topic and participate by commenting.
No blanket statements
No hot takes
No impersonal opinions, political or otherwise
No generalizations
Obviously fake stories will be removed
Political topics are fine but they must be in "off my chest" fashion.
More information on what types of posts are allowed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/m501ud/what_does_personalized_off_my_chest_style_post/

4. Comments must be civil and respectful of OP

Scolding/insults toward OP is not allowed, no matter what their opinions are. Egregiously breaking this rule may result in a ban.

5. Be mature

Off-topic comments are rude and will be removed.
Calm debates are fine, name-calling and arguing is not. Comments should be well-thought out and reasonable and have the goal of productive conversation with others, even if there is a disagreement
Please engage the community in good faith and do not test the limits of the mod team

6. Do not disclose personal information about yourself or others

Do not reveal personally identifiable information. Consider creating a new reddit account just for your post.
Do not attempt a witch hunt. This includes referencing another user's reddit history.
Do not ping users who are not already in the thread. Pinging someone in order to harass them is a bannable offense

7. Posts must be personal and in "off my chest" style

If your post isn't personal in nature or in "off my chest" style, it will be removed. If you want to talk about something, it either has to be directly related to you or directly impacting you - no soapboxing or hot takes/unpopular opinions.

8. No financial transactions

Do not offer money, give money, or request money. This is a bannable offensive with zero tolerance.

9. Updates must be posted in a reasonable manner

To prevent karma farming and spam, update posts must be minimum 3 days apart. Users are limited to 2 updates per confession for a total of 3 parts.
Only the OP may request updates be approved. We will not respond to requests from other users.

We also heavily encourage our users to follow the reddiquette
