CONTENT POLICY

This subreddit is moderated for quality, which means we remove content that we deem to be low quality, low effort, nonsensical, or common/unoriginal. We do not "let the votes decide".

Every submission must be a bad design, otherwise it may be removed. Any design mentioned in this list of things that are not crappy design is not allowed. Other low-quality posts may be removed at moderator discretion.

2: NO COMMON REPOSTS

New content is encouraged. Reposts of content in the common reposts list, in the top 150 posts of all time or under three months old are not allowed. Because of spam, no clothing of any kind.Especially t-shirts. Other reposts may be removed at moderator discretion.

3: NO SOFTWARE DESIGNS

Any kind of software design, intentional or not, is not allowed. This includes (but is not limited to): websites, emails, search results, videogames, etc. r/SoftwareGore or r/TechNope might be better places for these posts.

7: NO MEMES OR IMAGE MACROS

The crappy design should be obvious from the photo or the title. Memes or image macros are not necessary to describe it.
