Posting rules, in plain words

Self-promotion is banned. Promotion goes in Hobby Scuffles (weekly). Post flair is required.

• Posts must be hobby related: For the purposes of the sub, we define a hobby as “as a leisure activity done usually in one's spare time”. Please use the “hobby history” tag if you’re writing about hobby drama involving professionals in your hobby. If you feel that the topic of your post does not fit the subreddit, then please message the mods.
• Explain relevance and be detailed (within reason): Posts should be understandable to the reader and written with attention to explaining the situation, the history, and – as far as possible – the consequences. For both Hobby History and ordinary writeups, you should explain why what you’re writing about mattered in some way. Some dramas had major consequences; others might not, but may be revealing about the state of a community. Get into the implications! You shouldn't assume something is just inherently interesting to everyone else.
• Be objective as far as possible: OP can have been part of the drama, but should not either be seeking validation or awfulbragging about their role. Even if OP was not a participant, they should avoid making unsubstantiated judgments or allegations.
• Influencer / YouTuber / Reddit drama: Posts which are not about a hobby should be posted to their respective subreddits, e.g. /r/YouTubeDrama, /r/SubredditDrama, etc.

Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.
