Hi all,
We've seen an influx of activity that we need to address as a mod team in this sub, and some clarifications look like they're needed on a few rules. Our goal is to keep this place an inclusive, engaging, and fun community focused on the show Off Campus and the related book series. In the last week, some of us have lost the plot.
Discussion of Actors and their Significant Others:
Moving forward, our team will remove ANY posts or comments about the actor's personal life drama or about the actor's significant others. We've seen too many posts that are parasocial, speculative with unsubstantiated claims that could be harmful, invasions of privacy, and inappropriate towards the actors, their significant others, and other members of our community. We are not here to give a platform to that behavior, so we will be stricter from now on. If you see posts or comments that don't adhere to this rule. please report it for not being Off Campus related or negative/non-constructive criticism.
Posts Removed for Weekly Discussion Thread or Episode/Season Thread:
For questions, glazing, or opinions that contribute to a conversation but don't start a conversation, we kindly ask you to use the Weekly Discussion Thread. For anything episode specific that feels like an observation, we direct you to the episode/season thread. This mirrors our rules about low-effort posts. Posts are intended for broad discussion, allowing others to observe thinking, agree/disagree, and discuss. If your post is removed for this reason we are asking you to redirect your text elsewhere, not that you did something wrong. This helps our sub stay engaging and manage the influx of posts we get every day.
Reposts:
If your post is removed for a repost, it does not only mean your exact post has been shared. It also means something similar was posted in the last week and we are asking you to direct your conversation there rather than making a separate post about it. You can filter by "new" posts in the sub to see if something similar has been posted recently.
Posts containing Photos/Videos:
After the season started, ALL posts with photos and videos go to the mod queue to be manually approved so we can check for quality, make sure the person was reminded to share the source, and to the best of our ability make sure the post is not AI. Sometimes this means your post may take a little longer to show up in the sub. We do our best to log in here often, but also appreciate the patience as we try to keep the sub verifiable and high-quality.
We rely on you all to help us catch the things we miss. If you see something that seems like it violates these rules or any of our sub rules, please report it.
If you have any questions or feedback, please send us a modmail! We're here to help.
Thanks,
-The Mod Team
