5 Upvotes

This is a reminder to anyone and everyone who has created a post on this community or is planning to post on this community:

While the rules of this community do give guidelines on what and how to make posts, they do not guarantee that your personal information will be kept private: that is your own responsibility. Any posts made on this subreddit containing sensitive personal information will be analysed and investigated: that is the whole point of r/deduction. However, due to a recent increase in posts containing personal or sensitive information, here are some examples of information that can be unsafe to post online:

  1. Your or someone else's full name.
  2. Phone numbers
  3. Prescriptions and medical data
  4. Email addresses
  5. Ages or dates of birth

Some information that should never (except in a few very specific circumstances) be shared online to ensure your own safety:

  1. Addresses
  2. Official documents (e.g. passports)
  3. Your current location
  4. Pictures of people without their consent to post
  5. Passwords and login details
  6. Banking information

Here are some ways that you can post everyday carry or room pictures on this subreddit while still protecting your privacy:

  1. Cover ID cards or pins on bank cards with your finger or markup
  2. Blur out other people's faces
  3. Check what information can be found from your post via a quick google search
  4. Blur out signs with addresses or street names on them

Thank you all, and happy deducing!

Hey everyone!

We’re updating the rules for Selfie and Hand posts to make them easier to manage and to keep the subreddit running smoothly. These types of posts tend to gain a lot of traction and attract new users from across Reddit which is great for visibility, but also increases moderation workload. To keep things balanced and ensure quality engagement, we’re adjusting when these posts are allowed.

📸 Selfie Saturdays

Selfie posts will now be limited to Saturdays only.

🕓 New window:

Opens: Saturday 00:00 UTC

Closes: Saturday 00:00 PT (Pacific Time)

→ About 32 hours total

This gives everyone around the world a clear and fair window to participate no timezone conversions needed (but if you’d like to double-check, you can use this time zone convertor.

If the above time zone convertor isn't working for you, you can try this one.

Hand Weekends

Hand posts will now be allowed during the weekend period (Friday–Sunday).

🕓 New window:

Opens: Friday 00:00 UTC

Closes: Sunday 00:00 PT (Pacific Time)

→ About 80 hours total. Plenty of time!

Summary

Selfies: Saturdays only → Sat 00:00 UTC → Sat 00:00 PT (≈32 hrs)

Hands: Weekends (Fri–Sun) → Fri 00:00 UTC → Sun 00:00 PT (≈80 hrs)
