/r/raisedbynarcissists
is for posts about abusers that you know personally and that are abusing you personally.
Do not
derail
the posts of others.
Narcissists are NOT allowed to post or comment here.
Please refrain from posting "uplifting" or "ACoNs are an inspiration to me" or "I love all of you." or "I feel so bad for all of you and I really love my normal parents all the more after reading your posts" or "IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO!" or "You make me a better parent because your posts about the trauma you experienced shows me how to not mess up my kids" threads.
Instead, please support our posters directly by commenting directly on their posts. We do not want our subreddit littered with general uplifting. Let's keep the people who NEED support in the spotlight and give them direct support!
Comments and posts that are hurtful or made without a basic understanding of the rules or subject matter discussed here will be removed.
Exercise respect for each other and follow Reddiquette.
Please note that the mods may remove posts and comments at their discretion to preserve a respectful, supportive atmosphere in this sub. Your tone matters when responding to others -- be kind!
In general, be most excellent to each other, don't advocate things that will land the OP in deep water and be aware of your tone. Posts flared as "Support" are monitored much more closely for tone to ensure OP gets the support they need.
No generalizing about groups of people.
This includes race, religion, profession, gender, political party, age, ethnicity, etc.
No advocating abusive practices.
This includes current controversial ideas in discipline, medicine, or science that are abusive or misinformative. We stick to the verifiable truth as best we can on RBN, and to advocating healthy practices. This also includes anything relating to theft, slander, lawbreaking, etc.
No advocacy of
putting soap/pepper in a child’s mouth for swearing (for example), corporal punishment (ie: no pro-spanking posts or comments - Why?
Check this out.), or anti-vaccination or other pseudoscience.
No encouragement of
illegal drug use or self-medication without medical supervision, and no advising against proper medical treatment.
No asking or offering of gifts, money, donations, etc.
No GoFundMe, crowdsourcing or fundraising sites.
Flaming will not be tolerated.
No links or recommendations to hate groups.
No posts or comments advocating violence, murder or revenge (even in jest).
No posts about N-kids.
No diagnosis by media/drive-by diagnosis.
Please only post about people you know well personally. Otherwise you can post your stories
here.
Please flair triggering content such as graphic physical abuse, sexual abuse or animal abuse.
The flair button will appear under your post after the post has been submitted.
No linking to personal or public Facebook pages, or identifying information.
Do not ask OPs for more identifying information if it is not provided. Posts that contain an abundance of personally identifying information may be removed to safeguard the community and the poster.
You may link an entire sub (for example,
/r/BPDlovedones
or /r/suicidewatch), but not directly linking to a post/comment. When you link to a post or comment, please use a np.reddit.com link. Posts or comments that encourage brigading will be removed.(
Further explanation here.).
No pure image posts
- Memes, etc., must be contained within a self-post. (
Example.).
Moderation in this group is always biased FOR the OP (the person who made the post - not the commenters).
For example, if an OP does not appreciate comments of a religious nature, the moderators will defend the OP's boundaries. If an OP prefers comments of a religious nature, the moderators will also defend that boundary, for example. This is a support group - we are all here to support the OP. We often see commenters confused and feel that any comment should be allowed, because this is a support group. But, we are biased FOR the OP's needs and boundaries. When you write your own post asking for support, we will also be biased for you.
Please keep in mind that the mods here are unpaid volunteers with their own busy lives and jobs and struggles.
We are not online 24/7. We cannot read every post or comment. We are not omnipotent. We aren't aware of every problem, so please use the report button to flag the mods for problematic posts/comments you see in this group.
While you're at it,
check out Reddiquette.
Not all the guidelines are appropriate for this group, but most are. It's a good baseline for behavior on Reddit.com in general!
