This subreddit focuses only on the written works and does not allow any content from the popular HBO television adaptations of Martin's written work.

RULE I: WE DO NOT SHOW

This space is exclusively for book-based memes!

Any memes or comments that involve show content—even minor mentions or images—will be removed, and repeat offenders will be banned. Show spoilers are specifically not permitted and are punished more harshly than other show mentions.

Users should assume that any mention of the show is subject to removal.

CLICK HERE to view RULE I in its entirety for a full explanation of what RULE I entails, why it exists, and how we enforce it.

RULE II: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS

We do not require spoiler tags for any ASOIAF content. This is your warning! Exit now if you've not finished the books!

If you've been spoiled by something in this subreddit, that's too bad. But, to be frank, it serves you right for not examining the rules prior to posting.

RULE III: DON'T BE A DICK!

Be kind and civil to one another, even when disagreeing. Comments deemed to be overly condescending, passive-aggressive, or rude will be removed, and repeated offenders will be banned. This rule also extends to George R.R. Martin himself. All criticisms of George must be politely worded and constructive in nature.

'Tagging' users using /u/ mentions with the specific intent of summoning them to a comment thread to troll and harass them is considered unacceptable. Users who engage in this activity will be banned.

RULE IV: QUALITY

Memes are expected to be of sufficient quality. Please put effort into your memes. Low effort, circlejerk-caliber garbage will be removed. Twitter-caliber comments such as "FiNiSh ThE bOoK lMaO" will be removed.

Additionally, /r/darkwingsdankmemes is intended as a place to laugh and spread joy. Thus posts made with the primary intent to rile and annoy, or to attack opinions of the fandom or soapbox your own opinions, will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.

RULE V: NO REPOSTS

Please make sure you check the top posts of all-time to ensure your meme has not been submitted here before. If you see a repost, please report it to us via modmail and include a link to the original post. Please note that we will NOT remove a post reported as a repost without a link to the original post.

RULE VI: CREDIT THE SOURCE

If you are sharing someone else's meme, please credit the source. If you cannot credit the source because it violates Rule I, simply stating the name of the source in plain text is sufficient.

All significant use of original artwork in memes is required to be sourced. Acceptable source links include a direct link to an artist account, eg. Artstation, DeviantArt, Instagram, Twitter, personal website, etc. A link to a third party post such as Reddit, Imgur, a wiki, or pinterest is not acceptable.

If you are an artist and would like to share your work here as part of a meme, please feel free to tag your content as 'OC'.

If you are an artist and would like your work to be removed from this subreddit, please feel free to contact subreddit moderators and we will comply as soon as we are able.

RULE VII: POLICY DISCUSSIONS

We encourage subscribers to message the mods about interpretation of these policies, questions, concerns, constructive criticisms, or anything else regarding subreddit moderation. You are free to question any removal we make privately via modmail, provided you do so in a kind, respectful manner.

Submissions and comments regarding /r/darkwingsdankmemes rules or moderator actions are not permitted and such comments will be removed. These discussions will occur in modmail; not in the subreddit itself.
