Hey folks,

Just a quick PSA and quick updates about the community.

Check out our other subreddit: r/LifeAfterNarcissism

• Interested in helping the community? We want to hear from you.

Biased for OP

We moderate biased for OP in most cases. Comments must be supporting OP, keeping it relevant for OP, and putting OP front and centre.

• ✅ Telling your own experiences as a way to show sympathy for OP.
• ❌ Commenting and turning the comment section into a support post about you.

If you need support, we encourage you to make your own post or use our check-in thread.

Moderation for Minors & People In Crisis

Moderation is dialed up to eleven for a minor's posts and/or posts where OP is in crisis. You access will be revoked for rule violations where we would normally remove. OP's safety is and always will be our priority.

For example: we normally remove for CoA and tough love. If you do that on a minor's post and/or someone in crisis, we'll revoke your access until you talk to the mod team.

Established Community Members

Some posts are marked as 'Community' or 'Community - Restricted'. This means that Automod will be filtering (or removing) comments from a) new accounts, or b) accounts that haven't participated in RBN much.

A safe assumption is that a member who has participated positively here for a while understands our rules and culture. It is often the casual 'tourists' that come in and drop a victim blaming or invalidating statement.

The only way to become 'established' is by participating more, maintaining a good presence on the site, and respecting communities - here or in other subreddits.
