All Posts Must Be a Question. Posts without a question in the title or content will be removed. Questions should be asked in good faith. This is not the place to post rants or opinions disguised as questions (e.g. “does anyone else think the mayor sucks?”, etc.) but to ask questions about visiting, moving to, or living in DFW.
Be Excellent to Each Other. Normal reddiquette applies, and then some. This is a community for helping others. Don't troll, antagonize, threaten, flamebait, or otherwise be a jerk. Do not say or imply that someone is not welcome in DFW, for whatever reason. Follow reddiquette and Reddit's sitewide content policy at all times
No Uncivil Behavior or Discriminatory Language. Personal attacks, name-calling, and harassment may result in a ban and report to Reddit admins. Repeatedly pinging others with username mentions constitutes harassment. Discriminatory language and content, such as racism, sexism, misogynist/misandristic, homophobia/transphobia, ageism, and ableism, is not tolerated in this community. o
DFW Focus required. All posts submitted to r/askDFW must be Dallas/DFW-centric. Posts on national or state-wide issues must incorporate the local impact. Questions not unique to DFW may be removed. This is r/askDFW, not r/askTexas, or r/askReddit. Just because something exists in DFW, doesn't make it DFW specific.
No Classifieds, job posts, self-promotions or side-hustles. No self promotion posts. Don't promote your YouTube channel, your real estate business, your side hustle, your business, etc as a post. This includes recruiting and hiring posts, those should go in r/dfwjobs. Do not post advertisements, requests to buy or sell goods or services, use r/DFWClassifieds. However, feel free to promote your business or services in the comments if someone posts a question looking for something you provide.
Avoid Political Discussions. While a political topics are unavoidable, political discussions should be relegated to subreddits dedicated to those topics. Questions and discussions on how to participate in politics are fine. Questions and comments about protests should go in r/DallasProtests
No Spam. Includes advertisements, self-Promotion and crowdfunding posts. If your business provides a service that is being asked about, you can respond as a comment. For example: apartment locators or realtors responding to someone looking for help finding an apartment is a-ok! Making a post saying that your a realtor asking if anyone is looking, it not ok.o
No Low-Value Posts or Content. Novelty accounts may be removed. Satirical posts/comments and low value bots or accounts exhibiting bot-like behavior will be removed and banned.
Don't refer users to obvious search engines and don't tell users to search the sub.. Everyone knows about google, and yelp, and other obvious services. Users are encouraged to try those services before posting questions, but it's not required. If you know of an app that might help OP, post a link to it in the comments. If you know of previous posts that answer OPs question, you can post a link to it in the comments.
