Hey everyone,

Over the past few weeks, our rules and moderation became way too strict. Banning broad categories, removing casual posts, and trying to split opinions into a separate subreddit hurt the energy that made r/FactOrCap fun in the first place.

Starting today, we are hitting reset, scaling back moderation, and bringing everything back under one roof.

The Concept Going Forward

Whether your post is weird trivia, a controversial opinion, a pop-culture hot take, or an everyday debate, it belongs here. You do not need academic citations to post a poll. Drop a clear statement, and let the community vote Fact (agree/true) or Cap (disagree/false) and hash it out in the comments.

The New Simplified Rules

We have replaced the old 8-rule list with 4 basic ground rules:

• Be Civil (No Hate Speech or Harassment): Debate the claim, not the person. Friendly banter and strong disagreements are welcome, but slurs, hate speech, and personal attacks will be removed.

• Post Clear Claims: Every post must be a clear statement or opinion that the community can vote Fact or Cap on.

• No Spam or Flooding: You can post up to 5 times per day with a 10-minute cooldown between posts. Do not post copy-paste spam, ads, or bot links.

• Follow Reddit Rules & Tag NSFW: All content must follow Reddit's sitewide Content Policy. Controversial topics are allowed as long as discussion stays civil, and adult or sensitive topics must use the NSFW tag.

Lighter Moderation & Ban Appeals

We have restructured the mod team to take a hands-off approach. Unless a post or comment breaks Reddit's sitewide rules, it stays up. If you were banned recently for a minor rule violation or casual banter under the old guidelines, send a quick message to Modmail and we will lift your ban.
