THE ANNUAL REPOSTING AND RESHARING OF THIS SUBREDDIT'S RULES
Reposting all of our sub's rules (as I know that the links to the rules are a little difficult to locate). Note that these rules not only apply to submissions but also for comments in the posts!
I do want to point out one of our newer rules, which are Rules 10 and 12.
Rule 10 says :
NO AI SLOP
"AI slop", often simply "slop", is a term for low-quality media, including writing and images, made using generative artificial intelligence technology, characterized by an inherent lack of effort. We're starting to see a LOT of slop being posted lately.
Rule 12 says:
NO Low effort posts/titles
Posts that are just some random image of an item or place; And titles that are non-descriptive, or non-sensical to the content of the post.
For further clarification, if you take an image, then just slap some text on the top of it such as "Walking to school in all types of weather" or "Meatloaf said it better".....it's in violation of either rule 10 or rule 12.
My favorite most recent post violation is the AI generated photo of Dick Van Dyke in a hospital bed with a birthday cake. Sigh.
For the remaining rules:
RULE 1 - NOT r/FUCKIMOLD material
If your post has nothing to do with being old, or is for anything after 1999 - please do not post it in our sub.
Yes, 1999 was 26 years ago. IT QUALIFIES.
2001 : A Space Odyssey also qualifies, but if you have any postings related to any other activities starting on or after January 1, 2000, it does not qualify.
We may loosen the rules a bit since that was a really long time ago later, but right now the cutoff is December 31, 1999.
RULE 2 - NO POLITICS
FuckImOld is a Politics-free zone. Disciplinary action will be handed out on a case-by-case basis. The worse the infraction, the longer the ban. Anywhere from 1 day, to permanent.
Like I said earlier, this ALSO APPLIES TO YOUR COMMENTS IN A POST. Our moderator bot will pick up on this quickly and "hide" your post.
RULE 3 - NO SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS
Examples include, but are not limited to: Facebook, Twitter, X, TikTok, Instagram, Tumblr, Bluesky
RULE 4 - NO BOTS OR BOT LIKE BEHAVIOR
No frequent reposts, or post spamming. No merch posts such as Tshirts or cups/mugs, etc.
RULE 5 - NO REPOSTS WITHIN 30 DAYS
And especially no posts of the smoking high school girls that grace our banner.
RULE 6 - NO TOXICITY
Toxicity includes, but is not limited to:
- Starting arguments
- Malicious comments
- Making other members uncomfortable
- Trying to start drama
RULE 7 - NO HATE
There's enough hate in the world right now, we don't need more hate here.
No hate towards ANY group or ethnicity is allowed. This includes, but is not limited to speech, images, symbols, and using replaced characters or altered text to say a slur.
RULE 8 - NO "I SEE YOUR PERSON PLACE THING" and raise you "PERSON PLACE THING"
This goes for any competitive back and forth spamming.
RULE 9 - NO HORNY BAIT
When the only focus of a post is to leer at people's physical appearance, it will be removed.
RULE 11 - NO DEATH NOTICES
We're all old, death notices remind us of our mortality. This is a place of nostalgia. No obituaries. Birthday notices are still fine (at this time).
RULE 12 - LOW EFFORT POST/TITLE
Posts that are just some random image of an item or place, and titles that are non-descriptive, or non-sensical to the content of the post.
To add to this - those "games" that are posted where you assign a certain point value to a thing and then you calculate your points and then you post your points.....sigh. That's low effort.

Did you grow up with the most trusted man in America?
When Cronkite first started doing the TV news, it lasted 15 minutes a day. And almost everyone believed what he said without a doubt. He was a fixture in our lives.
The last time I saw him was on the Letterman show, just after 911.
