Subreddit Rules

1) reddiquette is required

Trolling, insults, or antagonism towards the subreddit participants, the moderators, or even the community itself may result in a ban. Discuss and express opinions about our topic but avoid making attacks / disparaging remarks. Due to site rules, site content policy, and that reddiquette is a rule here, we extend the rules against brigading to also mean; DO NOT encourage others to brigade a post / comment / account / person. Suggestions of "go check out their history" WILL be removed. Repeat suggestions/implications to do so will result in a ban.

2) No mixtape / compilations

Mixtape and Compilation submissions are too often spam / promotion attempts, mix regions, and override the point of the post format intent for sharing region of origin and artist / song information.

3) Posting Format

Post submissions should use one of the following formats;

• music posts: WMMusic [ONE Country/Region] Artist - Song (any other comments)
• news posts: WMNews - Title
• event posts: WMEvent [Country/Region] Date of Event - Event Title
• artist info posts: WMArtist Artist Name - Title

If practicable use the name of the country/region eg China not Chinese. This will make it easier to search. It should only state ONE country or region which best identifies either the music source or the location of the recording.

Posts not using the proper format may be removed

4) Self-promotion is restricted

Post attempts will result in a removal and ban which come from accounts showing sole or predominant use to promote an artist, group, site, service, survey, market research, kickstarter or other fundraising, video or audio channel, or social media account. You MUST submit a variety of sources / artists here. A 10:1 ratio is required, meaning you must submit 10 posts to content which you not are affiliated with before each time you submit something you are affiliated with. No exceptions.

5) New and Low/No karma accounts are restricted

Posts from these types of accounts most often violate rules OR they involve spam / self-promotion.

New accounts may not post in this subreddit but may participate in the comments. Take the time to get to know the site and this community.

Low / No karma accounts are not able to post or comment in this subreddit.
