Rules!

From time to time, these may become outdated. The rules that matter are those maintained on new reddit (not that these change frequently)
Don't be a jerk to others. This includes (but is not limited to) being hateful, harassing other users, or intended to harm or to incite harm against another person. When discussing heated topics, remember to engage in civil discourse.
Do not engage in activities that share private personal information of others.
- This includes, but is not limited to, engaging in 'doxxing' or promoting a malicious dissemination of other's personal info such as full-names, addresses, locations, workplaces, phone numbers, email addresses.
No buy/sell/trade posts. Posts for buying or selling items will be removed. Referral codes for services are also not allowed.
- Use r/dcdump, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or other outlets.
- Exceptions to this include: extra event ticket giveaways from individuals, local community-run events like neighborhood yard sales
No fundraising/donation posts
No unlawful content. Posts to facilitate illegal activity will be removed.
Keep posts relevant to those in Northern Virginia. This includes discussion of state/national policies that affect Northern Virginia, topics that those in Northern Virginia will find of interest or may have knowledge of. Use your common sense. If there's a megathread that applies to your post, save your post for them.
Limit Repetitive Content to Weekends Historically repetitive content is only allowed Friday through Sunday unless there is truly a remarkable event (i.e. the world literally falling apart, not you whining about someone cutting you off)

  - Dashcam videos/rants
  - Sunsets/sunrises/Great Falls
