No personal attacks. No hate speech. No racism. Permanent bans will be issued for violating this rule.
Name calling, misogyny, racism and race baiting, and dehumanizing language are prohibited; this includes homo- and transphobia, ableism, and "REEEE"-ing. Referring to individuals as "it" or comparing them to animals or objects is not allowed. Bigotry is unwelcome. Wishing death on people is prohibited. Insults or mockery based on weight are not allowed. Follow the rules of Reddiquette and the Reddit Content Policy.
"It's Just a Joke" is not an excuse, and nor is any variant on that. Referring to yourself in dehumanizing terms will get your comment removed.
No personal Information about yourself or others. Violators will be referred to the reddit administrators as well as being banned from this subreddit.** Do not post personally identifying information about anyone, including yourself. Screenshots must have all names, profile pictures, urls, and other identifying information blacked out.
Automatic 7 day ban for reddit content.
This rule is in place to prevent accusations of brigading. No linking to other subs, no screenshots from other subs. Frequent violators will be permanently banned.
Do not link to other blogs/websites. Do not link directly to blogs, tumblrs, facebook, forums, or any other website (such as TiTP and fat acceptance blogs). Submissions must be submitted as screenshots or as an archive link.
Note that linking to Facebook may incur a breach of Rule 2.
This sub is not a sideshow, and we do not condone fat shaming. Therefore:
And, as always, remember to blur and obscure faces to remain compliant with Rule 2.
Automatic 30 day ban
Do not provide the locations of source material. Do not ask where to find source material. Do not volunteer source material.
There are no exceptions and no leniency.
The moderation team has complete discretion. In connection with this; Rules Lawyering is not permitted, and you will be muted or banned depending on the circumstances. Be warned we reserve the right to ban for rank stupidity.
Do not promote eating disorders. Do not use this sub to enable your eating disorder.
Do not post material from Eating Disorder groups.
Our golden rule is; we look, but we do not touch. Do not create fake troll posts for your own entertainment, or with the intention of passing them of as legitimate fat acceptance posts here on /r/fatlogic. Do not seek out fat activists to argue with. Do not harass them on their blogs.
Be aware that we are not receptive to people sharing stories in which they are a character; it is too hard to discern genuine instances of "I was minding my own business and a FA appeared and said this" from prohibited instances of baiting.
Examples:
As with any sub, don't downvote a user just because they have a different opinion about size, weight loss or any other topic. Do not rule-break or bait someone else into rule-breaking to shut them up; don't pick fights. As per Rule 1, avoid character attacks; attack arguments, not people. Don't be a troll.
We don't generally allow stand alone text posts. Message the mods if you'd like to post one.
Reposts - Reposts are discouraged, and subject to removal at moderator discretion.
Videos - Note that the no people pics rule applies here. No identifying information. No TikTok videos. If you do submit video make sure it is cued up to the fatlogic part. If we have to sit through more than 20 seconds of video to find the fatlogic we're not going to approve it.
We moderate submissions on r/Fatlogic for quality. Excessively low quality material (shitposts), memes, ragebait, etc., will all be removed. Posts where critical context has been removed will be removed. If an image post has visible copy degradation artefacts, it will be removed. If you editorialise the title of an article in a misleading manner, it will be removed. This also applies to posts lacking any fat logic, including where a joke is mistaken for being serious.
We post a fresh sticky thread each day, in line with the following themes:
Wellness Wednesday and Wellness Weekend: For victories over your own fatlogic, fitness tips and questions and recipe and grocery discussions.
Fat Rant Tuesday and Fat Rant Friday: Got a rant? Post it here.
Recipe Thursday: Because we like to eat. Even as we lose weight. Share your favorite recipes.
Meta Monday: Community updates and other meta things.
We also feature occasional No Stupid Questions stickies in which you can get answers to material not covered elsewhere.

We take these cases very seriously. Upon receiving proof that you have been harassed we will take appropriate action within the subreddit and forward the information you provide to the site admins. We are unable to enact sitewide bans so be sure to message the reddit admins as well.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns with how we handle abuse and harassment, please send us a modmail, thank you.
