#Subreddit Rules

##1) Reddiquette Follow Reddit's general guidelines for posting located here: http://www.reddit.com/help/reddiquette
##2) Gloving Topics Only Keep the discussion gloving related. Similar flow art discussion is allowed in comments, but thread topics should be gloving related. There are many other subreddits for other flow arts. ##3) No Personal Information No posting/asking for personal information. Rave/Glover names and times/locations can be used for meet-ups at raves and events. Do not post direct links to Facebook (to protect privacy), instead re-upload pictures to http://imgur.com and videos to http://vimeo.com, http://youtube.com, or http://vid.me
##4) No Advertising/Spamming No public advertising or spamming for any store, company, or "team". This does not mean you cannot mention them, but that should not generally be the focus of your post. r/gloving is not affiliated with any specific company. This also includes spamming/promoting personal promoter codes for companies/websites - if someone asks, you can give it out, but no posts explicitly about getting your code out there.
##5) No Drug Solicitation or Focused Discussion Absolutely no drug/substance/sex solicitation or focused discussion. Gloving is an expression of art and performance. We do not advocate, suggest, or condone the usage of drugs in conjunction with lightshows. ##6) P.L.U.R. Peace. Love. Unity. Respect.
