No X-Posts or Reposts
Do not post something that has been submitted to reddit before, even if you were the one who posted it.
Exception: If a post is deleted or removed from r/mildlyinteresting for breaking the rules less than one hour after being submitted or receives less than 100 upvotes, we allow the submitter to resubmit a fixed version of the post. Posts deleted or removed from other subreddits are not exempt from rule 3.

Original [OC] Photographs Only
a. All submissions must be original and non-animated photographs. No gifs, videos, or web sites.
b. All submissions must be original content. If you didn't take the picture, don't post it.
c. Software glitches/errors, overlaid text, arrows, scribbles, and other substantive edits are not allowed, although you may censor personal information per Reddit-wide rules.
d. Albums are not allowed, but side by side photographs (within the same image) are okay if they adhere to the rest of the rules.

No Screenshots
No screenshots. We define a screenshot as a screen grab. This means no images of screens, pictures of screens taken with a different device, images that have been partially or fully generated by a computer, or pictures of printed out screenshots. Try r/screenshots!.

Titles Must Be Exact But Concise Descriptions
a. Titles must not contain jokes, backstory, or other fluff. That information belongs in a follow-up comment.
b. Titles must exactly describe the content. It should act as a "spoiler" for the image. Specify what your picture shows; do not simply say “I saw this” or something similar. If your title leaves people surprised at the content within, it breaks the rule!
c. Titles must not contain emoticons, emojis, or special characters unless they are absolutely necessary in describing the image.
Posts which break the rules will be removed on sight. This subreddit operates a three-strikes rule on submission bans, if you upload three rule breaking posts you will be banned. As well as instant bans on troll and/or gimmick accounts, shock links, etc. at moderator discretion.
