From the Moderators:

Hi everyone,

The subreddit will be reopening on Monday 19th June, however there will be substantial rule changes. Reddit has made it abundantly clear that users, not moderators, are the true community leaders and owners of their respective subreddits. So, therefore, we will be changing the community rules to reflect this stance.

Going forward, the only subreddit specific rule is that any content you submit to r/iOS must be something you consider to be iOS related. That’s it. It is what the users determine to be ‘iOS’ content, not us ‘landlords’ or ‘landed gentry’ - as spez would say.

Please be aware that the site-wide Reddit rules are still in place, and something we, and Reddit’s Anti-Evil operations (AEO) will continue to enforce. For more detail on this, please read Reddit’s content policy here.

To sum this up:

No harassment / bullying Respect privacy of others No sexual content of minors No impersonating in a misleading/deceptive manner. Label content correctly (NSFW or not?) No illegal content Do not break/interfere with the website

Reddit enforces these rules and we will be reporting users who break any of those rules to Reddit’s AEO team, we encourage every user to report any content that breaks site-wide rules directly to Reddit as well.

You will be banned from this subreddit if you break any of Reddits site-wide rules.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below. We will be updating our rule-set to reflect these changes.

For those not aware of the ongoing issues with the reddit admins, and would like to know what the hell is going on, please see the below links to get you up to speed.

    is just the excuse the admins will use to remove all the mods and replace them.

    Not much of a concern, Reddit is going to remove mods anyway. Spez has made it clear that Reddit is going to keep changing around rules to be able to justify removing mods. At some point they’ll start allowing random Reddit accounts to use /r/RedditRequest to request “unmoderated” subs aka any sub where the moderators don’t seem to be moderating as expected. And/or Reddit will close those subs for being “unmoderated”, or they’ll temporarily place their own Reddit staff to moderate such subs if the sub is too big to close outright.
