r/MaliciousCompliance rules

1. 1.

   Posts must be Malicious Compliance

   All posts must be a story that must contain some form of malicious compliance. Malicious is interpreted broadly, but posts where people do not comply with rules will be removed. Update posts must link to the previous post on this subreddit and are subject to moderator approval.

2. 2.

   No Banned Elements

   No stories involving the following banned elements: Death of anyone, Historical Figures, Fantasy Creatures, Schools (school employees and university students are okay), Complier involuntary bodily functions, or Malicious Compliance with subreddit rules. Also do not thank or reference Youtubers/Influencers. Please ask the moderators if you’re unsure.

3. 3.

   Don't Question the Validity of a Story.

   It's much more fun if we give people the benefit of the doubt. We mean question in the broadest sense. Don't discuss the validity at all. Don't claim it's untrue. Just don't. People get fuzzy on details. People put stories in the first person that are really from a friend. It happens. Get over it. We don't want to hear about it anymore. It's not new. Violations will frequently result in a ban without further warning.

4. 4.

   Follow Original Content Policy

   If it’s not yours then do not post it or comment it. You may link to where the owner posted it if you can find it. You do not own the words of other people. You do not own random photos you found online. You do not own Calvin & Hobbes. You can link to most youtubers. You can link to a comment or post you found on Reddit or twitter.

5. 5.

   Comments must forward the discussion.

   Comments must forward the discussion. A comment should absolutely not consist of only insults.

6. 6.

   Compliance must be intentional.

   It must be clear that whoever is complying is doing so intentionally. Animals and malfunctioning computers are not allowed. Stories involving children must be from the child’s perspective (your story or a story someone told you from their childhood about something they did) or an adult maliciously complying in a way that involves a child (such as a parent using a loophole to skirt a school rule).

7. 7.

   Include the fallout.

   Wait until expected fallout has occurred before sharing. You must also have maliciously complied, not just thought about how you want to. If you’re expecting to have an update, wait until that later date. If additional fallout occurs later, you may be able to update, but it should be a surprise.

8. 8.

   No Acronyms As Names.

   Don't make up acronyms for your post. Don't use acronyms from another subreddit. Generally known acronyms are fine. Use industry terms if you like, but explain what they mean.
