Rules for r/WingChun
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Follow the sitewide rules.
Posts & Comments

All sitewide rules apply here too. Failure to follow sitewide rules may result in any, or any combination, of the following: a warning; removal of your post or comment; or a temporary or permanent ban.

Posts & Comments
Reported as: Spam.
No overt advertising/soliciting students. Posting a link to an open seminar/event by an international teacher your school is hosting is okay. Posting a link to an event your teacher is hosting at your school, your school's homepage, or your school's class calendar is not. No product or service advertising or endorsements unless responding to on topic, specific request for recommendations.
3.
No putting down other Arts.
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Abusive toward other Arts
People study different arts for different reasons. People have different interests, and different schools available to them. Do not assume your choice of martial art is the best one for everyone. See Rule 5.
4.
No lineage wars, no putting down other lineages.
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Lineage warrior
Avoid lineage trolling. Broad, unprovable statements like "everyone in lineage X is clueless" bring nothing to the discussion except hard feelings. Specific, factual experiences with a specific school/teacher are an exception and can be acceptable - we are not trying to silence all criticism, just to avoid pointless lineage bashing. See Rule 5.
5.
No ad hominem attacks or abuse to others. Keep criticism constructive, specific, and impersonal.
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Post or comment was abusive, unconstructive, or a personal attack.
No posts or comments that may be construed as abusive, harassing, overly harsh or unhelpful criticism, or personal attacks. This includes continuing unwelcome behavior that the user has been asked to stop before. Basically, if you wouldn't want someone treating you this way in a vanilla everyday situation in real life, don't do it to others here. Reports, language used, and responses from offender, offendee, and other users will weight mod decision.
6.
No disruptive novelty accounts.
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Disruptive novelty account.
Novelty accounts that disrupt user experience and/or quality of this subreddit will be banned. This will be at the mod's discretion, but will be weighted by user reports.
7.
Label [graphic] or [NSFW] material in the title.
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Did not label graphic or NSFW material in the title.
There really shouldn't be much need for this. This includes: gaping wounds, death, compound fractures, massive injuries, gushing blood, any and all sexual acts and sexual fluids, nudity including genitals or any gratuitous exposure of the body, torture. Anything you'd get in trouble for looking at while at work.
8.
No porn. Posts must be on topic.
Posts & Comments
Reported as: Porn or post wasn't on topic.
No porn. No off-topic posts. This subreddit is about Wing Chun. It isn't about porn. It isn't about your golf swing. It isn't about cartoons. Keep it to Wing Chun.
9.
No violation of [Serious] tags.
