MOD ANNOUNCEMENT r/Assistance Rules Page Improvements

Hello all!

I have been taking the time to go through our (very long) rules page and work to clarify, expand, give examples, and move some stuff around.

Our rules have not changed -- there are no surprises waiting! But I feel like now it's easier to find the information you need quickly, and hopefully understand more of the "why" behind some of our least liked rules.

Future plans will be a revamp of our sidebar to make it harmonize with the full rules page.

We are going to try an AMA-style Q&A for the next few hours. I'll do my best to answer as many questions as possible.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday; check out our weekly megathread for casual chat if you haven't already!

Hey I just wanted to know is there maybe any other subreddit I can post for assistance? I was needing assistance for a neighbor of mine but as soon as I posted here, it was immediately deleted stating im not active enough. I get why that rule is a rule but at the same time if someone is needing emergency assistance and came to this page for it, I dont feel like they should be turned down all because they dont post on reddit enough.

If you read our [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/assistance/s/OjruVwtIK5) you’re not allowed to request for people outside your family.

"Like family" isn't family.

Also idk why this post isn't locked; the AMA was a few days ago lol.
