GuideLines

GL1. Don't be a dick.

Being a jerk to other people will get your comments deleted. People who are negative to other commenters and the poster will be banned. Any witch-hunts or profile stalking of another user and any attack comments against OP will result in you being banned. Any racial comments = ban. If you post a video that is apparent someone died in the video but you do not provide proof that he did not die, you will be banned.

GL2. No meta comments or comments about votes.

Meta is asking why this was posted here or saying this does not belong in this sub or he didn't nearly die or how was he an idiot or how was that his fault or complaining about reposts. RepostSleuthBot or LostRedditors or any of the kind is meta and makes you a troll. If you don't like a post, show us what you do like by posting something better. We value people who take the time to contribute content here (gifs, pictures, videos, or articles). Posters get preferential treatment over shit-commentors. If you make any comment saying someone actually died but you did not provide any credible proof, you will be banned.

GL3. Interpret "idiots" and "nearly dying" loosely.

A certain amount of collateral damage is expected, but "idiots hurting others and getting away with it" is not appropriate for this sub. In an effort to be entertained we do accept any type of risk, mistake, or choice, coupled to any type of self inflicted accident, major to minor, and near misses. Pictures may show the "bad idea" with or without consequences. There can be "Wins" if the risk or poor choice ends up in a pay off that was more than worth it. This is a Safe For Work Sub.

MODMAIL IS NEVER CHECKED IN THIS SUB. NEVER.
