Share anything you need to get it off your chest. The auto-moderator is very aggressive and your text-only post may not appear until moderators can manually approve it (typically 24 hours).

You may also be interested in the far more populated sister sub-reddit: /r/confession -- especially if you're specifically after nasty confessions.

We aim to be slightly looser moderated, you may see things that offend here, however outright hate speech and anything illegal will be removed.

Trolling and accusing others of trolling will not be tolerated

Please REPORT things to have them reviewed for removal as soon as possible.

Posts That Will be Removed

Accusations that a confession is fake (Having no way to verify authenticity or accuracy of posts, there is really no point in or reporting posts as "fake")

Trolling

Memes (visual and text)

Personal attacks and abuse

Accusations that a post is not a good enough confession

Suggestions to post to another subreddit (please use the report and message the moderator options in these cases)

Excessive trolling will result in a ban, this also includes those who consistently post in a negative fashion.

Confessions coming from users that have promotional links or ads in their profiles may also be removed.
