RULE 1: Keep posts WW2 related

Please keep all submissions to the sub related to history and/or based on historical events. See here for the extended rules.

Rule 1.1

Memes about Ideologies (Communism, Christianity, etc.) are not allowed on the sub.

Rule 1.2

Historically inaccurate memes or memes attempting historical revisionism are not allowed.

Rule 1.3

Meta memes about the sub are allowed and must be tagged with the "Meta" tag when appropriate.

RULE 2: No discrimination or abuse

Any excessive sexism, homophobia, racism or any other form of discrimination will be dealt with harshly and mods reserve the right to impose bans without warning. Basically try not to be jerks.

RULE 3: Do not deny or defend genocides and atrocities.

These include, but are not limited to; Holodomor, the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, Japanese war crimes and the Tiananmen Square massacre. Doing so will result in an instant permaban. Hateful historical revisionists are not welcome.

Do not downplay or use whataboutism in discussion of atrocities and genocides

RULE 4: Meme wars

No calling for meme wars or inciting subreddit drama. Organising or participating in raids will get you a permanent ban. In the event of a meme war, you must abide by the rules of other subreddits when posting there.

RULE 5: No Brigading

Directly linking posts to political subreddits is not allowed unless it is linked in a non-participating manner (i.e. linking "np.reddit.com" rather than "www.reddit.com"). For more info see https://www.reddit.com/r/NoParticipation/wiki/intro

RULE 6: Quality control

Memes must adhere to some basic standards. Excessive black bars, improper cropping, and low resolution/unreadable memes are banned from the subreddit.

RULE 7: No karma-whoring

Memes asking for upvotes, awards, and user actions are not allowed. See here for the extended rules

Rule 7.1

Posts found to be simply large boxes of information, text, or otherwise, that do not contain an attempt at humor are not allowed on the subreddit.

RULE 8: No low effort titles

All submissions to the subreddit must include a proper title that does not exemplify qualities signifying "low-effort", "Lazy", or "Karma-whoring". See here to see what is prohibited

Rule 8.1

If the title is removed from the meme and it ceases to be either a historical meme or a meme in general it is not allowed on the subreddit.
