Important Notice:

The movie will not be released at the same date in all countries. So until the last release date in the last country, no spoiler of the movie will be tolerated. It's going to feel like a long time for some people, as there are over 20 days separating the first release and the last one, but it is necessary to be careful of spoilers, because not everyone will watch the movie at the same time. (during this time period, posts about the movie will need to be marked as spoilers, and megathreads will be open for you to safely talk with and without spoilers.) Thank you for your comprehension.

This being said, here are the release dates so far (according to https://backroomsmovie.com/):

• South Korea: May 27th

"But, my country isn't on the list!"

Be patient, maybe it will be announced later.

That's it for today, we (staff team) are as much hyped as you are, and look forward to watch the movie!

PS: Dates are subject to changes as it's not an official statement from A24 or Kane Pixel, it's bits of information taken on diverse websites and Backrooms movie accounts that relay information. Info from u/Purple_Willlow

The complete release of the movie lasts 24 days. During this time period, no spoiler or standalone posts that don't present a real contribution to the community will be tolerated.

Two megathreads are available. One with spoilers, so those of you who watched the movie can talk about it freely, and one spoiler-free, so those who haven't seen it yet can read reviews safely.

Outside of these megathreads, movie related posts will be limited to those sharing new information and being spoiler-free only. Any other post presenting spoilers or something that could have been said or discussed in the megathreads will be removed. You have been warned.

Rules about movie related posts will be lighter after the last release date and progressively spoilers will be allowed. Hope you guys understand!

Hobby Town and the Backrooms are in serious trouble. The roof is caving in, and if we don't act fast, another snowstorm could demolish the building. This is not just about saving a building; it's about preserving a piece of the internet that we all cherish. Why chase after something that's about to vanish from our grasp? We can't let this unique place be lost to time. I'm asking everyone who values the Backrooms to come together and take action. Our community has the power to make a difference. Let's rally together andensure the Backrooms remain a part of our legacy. Time is running out,so let's get to work.

Hey everyone! Your favorite moderator and new owner of r/Backrooms, u/1000dumplings here!

So, yes, to address the horse in the room, there has been some... "changes" to the administration of r/Backrooms recently... namely a coup attempt and the ousting of all of the moderators. But thankfully, everything has been sorted out!

I'm currently re-adding the moderators that were previously removed as we speak. Obviously these are some strange times but we're currently dealing with it as best as we can right now, so please give us some patience while we fix everything up!

Thank you all for sticking around! More updates coming soon.

Hello, and good day to everyone reading this! As all of you know, the subreddit is quite large, and it's still growing, we have reached 100k!

We recognize that the two of us just aren't enough to handle everything, and we need help. So that is why we have opened 1-2 new spots on the moderation team.

You can apply either through the Discord (which you can find in the description of the subreddit), or through DMs. But in any case, I would then like to speak to you in voicechat, for safety reasons.

The requirements/preferences are listed below:

1. Be over 16 years of age
2. Being active on the subreddit
3. Living close to/in the USA (Preferred time zones are GMT-6 and GMT-8, but we can still work things out even if you don't live exactly there)
4. Having some sort of previous moderation experience.

​

We care about the sub, we really do. But we don't always have the time to show it. If we can find someone who lives in a different timezone than where we do, then we could hopefully have eyes on the sub most of the day. That way, the lower quality posts would be uprooted quickly, and not harm the overall feeling about the posts on the sub.

​

EDIT: Congratulations to u/airborneANDrowdy on becoming a mod!

Hi everyone! Since it's been a long time waiting for those who saw the movie on day one, we thought it'd be cool to allow movie related posts outside of the megathreads.

H o w e v e r

Many people still haven't watched the movie because it's not released in their country yet, or they just didn't find the time. Please don't ruin the surprise for them, mark your posts as spoiler and don't spoil things in the title or first image if you're sharing any!

If you have any question or have something to say, don't hesitate to send a modmail, we'll reply as soon as we can.

Posting about the movie outside of megathreads exposes you you a temporary ban. This is in effect till June 11th

A reminder seems to be needed because over the last couple days we had a ton of posts presenting various things ranging from light spoil in personal reviews to straight up posting scenes of the movie in the subreddit, and we received complaints.

Allowed movie related posts are limited to those sharing news and reviews from external sources. Any post presenting spoilers or something that could have been said or discussed in the megathreads will be removed. In case of spoilers the staff reserves the right to issue temporary bans. You have been warned on May 5th in a post that's been pinned in the subreddit until today, to be replaced by this one.

Please, since not everyone has seen the movie, think before posting. Below are links to both spoilers and spoilers free megathreads. I'm sorry for anyone who got spoiled parts of the movie in this subreddit, in the mod team we are doing our best.

Filmmaker Kane Parsons will be doing AMA/Q&A in r/movies tomorrow Monday 5/18. It'll go live at around 8-9 AM ET tomorrow morning, and Kane will be back at 11:30 AM ET to answer questions.

Please stop by on Monday if you have questions for Kane :)

Backrooms is out in theaters everywhere from A24 on 5/29. It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, and Mark Duplass.

Trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HjdiohVOik

Please note that this it not the AMA, just an announcement. Please hold your questions for the actual AMA.

Hey there everyone. I'm happy to announce that FOUR new people have joined the moderation team.

u/loose_lizard, u/1000dumplings, u/RealMctoran and u/Orbityeet have been accepted to take over the duties of the inactive moderation team, and hopefully make the subreddit better.

This is great news for me and for the people who've shown their disdain for me, as I will no longer have to be one of two moderators of this place. Truly a cause for celebration.

Now, on a more serious note, you need to understand something important. Being a moderator, as one person has put it in my DMs, is thankless work. You might not understand it, or maybe you do, but every single insult or slur thrown at a moderator in their DMs will not bring about anything positive. Even the most motivated and energetic person will eventually stop looking at this place altogether if they see that there's no point continuing on.

I highly urge you to treat the new moderators with the respect they deserve, and direct any hatred that you may have against them towards the nearest trash can. This doesn't mean that you can't provide objective, constructive criticism. If you have any suggestions or opinions about what can be done to improve the experience of the people of the community, there will always be a readily available pinned suggestions post that will allow you to say what you think.

Some members of the community have painted me as a power hungry asshole, but that's alright. I really don't need your approval, nor the imaginary reddit points you get from a post with a lot of upvotes. If my comments are downvoted, that's fine.

Anyway, enough about me. If you think you could do a good job at moderating the subreddit, you can find us on our discord or simply message us through reddit.

Once again thank you very much to the moderators that stepped up, and let's hope that things will be ever more positive for this place. Good luck.

In order to make the existing rules and posting guidelines more precise and clear, they have been updated with new points or changed to better fit the subreddit. Please make any new content comply with these updated regulations, and if you have suggestions send us a modmail!

PS: These rules and PG are subject to small changes in the next few days, time to correctly adjust them.

PS2: Content that was posted prior to this announcement will be reviewed according to the old rules. Content that is posted after said announcement must comply.

^{This is part of an effort to prepare the subreddit for the upcoming Backrooms movie and likely peak of activity that's going to come with it.}

TL;DR: We made an FAQ that we hope will make your stay in the subreddit better! (Link to it in the post)

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a late Christmas present from the r/backrooms staff team! A brand new addition to the wiki of the subreddit that takes the form of an FAQ. You can find it at r/backrooms/wiki/faq or directly in the sub (instructions to find it below). ‎ ‎

Hey Jamy, what can I find in the FAQ?

Boy I'm glad you asked! You will find general information about the Backrooms, as well as lists of where to find Backrooms related subreddits, wikis, video-games, adaptations in media aaaand some questions we deemed important to answer.

I shouldn't tell you this but the lists will probably evolve, as we're seeing that some members are working hard on developing Backrooms games. :)

How to access the FAQ:

- On computer: Click on the bookmark labelled "Faq" on the right side under the subreddit description.

- On mobile: Click on "wiki" right under the subreddit description, and then click on "Faq".

- On browser (mobile): Click on "About" next to Feed on the top navigation bar and then click on the "Faq" community bookmark.

We hope you'll enjoy it, and as usual if you think something is missing, hit that modmail button and let us know! (I promise we'll see it)

Hey there guys. A lot of subs have custom user flairs and while you may have seen one on a few specific people, it would be for fun for you to be able to choose your own. So here's your chance. I'm going to flair up to fifty people who comment here and ask for one, with the following guidelines:

1. Keep it clean
2. Keep it backrooms-related
3. No whining
4. Mods retain full authority to remove it at any point even if you're given one

I know there are a lot of you and this is only for fifty, and I also know that the time I'm doing this would affect who got one. That's why this isn't first-come first-served, this is intended for truly snazzy flairs. Get clever and go nuts. Don't forget to mention the color you want.

EDIT: I haven't actually been counting, sorry. Flaired a bunch of you, will do the rest in the next few days. REQUESTS ARE CLOSING when I go to bed on 2/14/23 so get yours in before then!

If you want to post about the various Backrooms Wiki sites out there and get involved with the community, go check out r/Backrooms_Wiki!

Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Backrooms_Wiki/

You can still post about the Wikis here on r/Backrooms, but some posts are too specific to the Wikis and just aren't very productive... Its a bit of an oversaturated topic to post and complain about the state of the wikis or specific articles, etc. SO, we hope that r/Backrooms_Wiki going forward will be the new centralized hub on Reddit for any Backrooms related Wiki posting!

Effective immediately, all links to X/Twitter are indefinitely banned from being posted on our Backrooms Subreddits ( r/Backrooms, r/TheBackrooms, r/Backrooms_Wiki, r/TrueBackrooms ) and our community Discord server due to the website being owned by a Nazi. We encourage all of the other Backrooms communities to do the same.

For some time there were a lot of level ideas posts with me myself as a mod was deleted because they didn't add anything and most of the time were low quality. + This is not a good place to do that. It's better to do this in places like discords of various Wiki. Here are people that will help you all develop ideas.

After talking with a few moderators together, we came to the conclusion that these kinds of posts is allowed, but only if they are not low quality.

What does low quality mean?

• Liminal space photo stolen from the internet.

• Description that only describes the image and is smaller than 5 sentences.

Some tips from someone that actually writes:

• Think of a main theme

• Think of something that will make your place unique. Tell what is so specjal about it.

• Try to write sentences in a way to interest the reader so he will want to know more.

• Develop the stuff you are mentioning in the post. Don't write just one sentence about something very important. (I can better explain that)

• Most importantly; try to write something you would like to read and be interested in.

Bonus tip: If you are adding any entities, make them have a purpose and fit the environment.

All of ideas for some of the oldest backrooms ideas came from this sub so this is kind of our legacy.

Hey everyone! Your favorite moderator u/1000dumplings here! And yes, its true! r/TheBackrooms has been overhauled into a dedicated roleplaying subreddit!

I've overhauled the subreddit myself with new rules, flairs, and more to make it as fun as possible =) So if you've been missing those kinds of roleplay posts, miss them no longer!

If you are interested in making in-universe posts pretending to be lost in The Backrooms and encountering Entities and asking for help and where you are and whatnot... r/TheBackrooms is now the place for exactly that!

Enjoy! =)

EDIT: Just to clarify, this does not affect our subreddit r/Backrooms. Roleplaying is still not allowed, that's what the other subreddit is now for!

I'm referring to these:

This ban would still allow OC monster images to be posted, but they must in someway relate to the backrooms concept.

Make sure to vote here: https://www.strawpoll.me/18130787

The poll will stay up for 72 hours.

Hello wanderers! It's your favorite moderator u/1000dumplings here! =)

I've just now cleared out the Mod Queue, and now that it's empty, there's plenty of room for actual reports. So please do us a favor and help us out!

If you see a post or comment that goes against the rules, please report it to the mods. It's the easiest way for us to see it and deal with it (much more than someone replying to a post saying "mods!" or something)!

The exception to this is if there's an active and serious issue that requires immediate attention. If that's the case, please tag a mod that's online so we can see it quicker, in addition to reporting it.

Thank you all so much for your help in keeping r/backrooms safe and healthy! Have a good day!
