This Has to Violate Some Sort of Rule

Our [full list of rules is here](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index#wiki_what_is_allowed_in_.2Fr.2Fmovies.3F) /r/Movies is about “Movie News and Discussion of Major Motion Pictures.” As you can see, our front-page is an aggregate for movie news and discussion. We like to keep it that way.

Common violation trigger: I Don't Know What Rule it Violates, I Just Hate This Thing

No Intentional Antagonism or Negative Attention Whoring

Just don't be a dick, it's pretty easy. Discuss the subject of the thread, not the users. Don't make comments just for negative attention. This also applies to any complaints of controversial subjects such as woke/SJW issues, minorities being in movies, etc. Put quotes in quotation marks, we don't know every quote ever spoken. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index#wiki_e._incivility

Common violation trigger: Intentional Antagonism or Negative Attention Whoring

No Spam & Self-promotion - Same Source Posts

The site-wide definition of spam is when a user has more than 20% of their submissions coming from one source. If your username is the same as the website or YT channel you're trying to promote - you will be banned and your website blacklisted. Sharing Letterboxd accounts is not allowed either. https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index#wiki_l._spam_-_this_includes_youtube_channels.2C_websites.2C_blogs.2C_any_oc

No Image Posts & Memes

Memes are not allowed. Single images or albums of behind the scene of already released movies are prohibited, as are memes, "movies I like/recommend" and infographics. Make a text post if you want to talk about a specific and link the image in there. Official first looks and posters ARE allowed if they've not been posted before. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index#wiki_b._grey_area_image_posts

No Ambiguous/Misleading/Inaccurate Information or Clickbait in the Submission Title

Any type of submission that doesn't include the actual subject in the submission title. We really don't like 'click to find out' titles. For upcoming movie news, we take misinformation seriously. "In development" does not mean a movie is coming out. "In talks" or "in negotiations" does not mean "This person is working on this project." We want actual news; official announcements, not investigative journalism. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index#wiki_a._submission_titles

Common violation trigger: Inaccurate, Ambiguous, Misleading Or Clickbait Information in Submission Title

No Extraneous Comic Book Movie Submissions

Anything that isn't official, hard-lined news about comic book movies/Superhero movies will be removed. No featurettes, fan art, parodies, etc. That means nothing. Please read the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index#wiki_18._comic_book_movie_information_-_conditionally_prohibited) for further information

No Repost or Discussion Threads of New Releases

[Light 'em up](https://i.imgur.com/JGBcbrY.gif) This rule also applies if there is an official discussion of the same movie stickied on the front page. Official discussions will be your go-to place for reviews/reactions/discussion of that movie and applies for 4 weeks after the U.S. release date.

No Encouraging Piracy

Encouraging illegally pirated content by suggestion, instruction, and/or direct links. This includes variations of the "Aye matey." Stop. It's not 2012 any more. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/wiki/index/#wiki_i._piracy

Rules on Posting of Scenes/Clips

Maximum of 1 clip submission per user per day. Minimum of 60 seconds, in HD. Title must include title of movie, year of release, description/context of scene, and director. Title must not include any personal opinions/subjective thoughts. Clip is subject to regular circlejerk, comic book movie, and repost rules.

AI Generated Garbage

Scuttlebutt and Canards

Political Ranting Unrelated to the Movie at Hand

We are not a politics or political commentary sub. Obviously some movies relate to and include politics, but if you're here to simply blather on about political issues unrelated to the subject of the post, it's grounds for removing.
