Nudity is not necessarily banned on r/Videos, providing that the appropriate NSFW tag is used to indicate it. 'Gore' refers to any graphic display of injury, mutilation, or harm such that it is visible during the video. Includes humans and animals.

No Solicitation of Votes or Views

No asking for votes or sharing submission links on or off-site. See Reddiquette for more details. Do not ask other users to follow your social media profiles in comments or submission titles. Titles for posts should not try to influence users to view or upvote them. No giveaways. Donation links and kickstarters/fundraisers must be sent to us to be verified.

No Hate Speech

You are free to offer your opinion respectfully, but comments intended to demean a group, acontextual expressions of bigotry, and the pejorative use of slurs is disallowed. Baiting users into breaking this rule is not allowed. Telling other users to hurt or kill themselves in any form is against reddit TOS, and will earn you a permanent ban.

No Public Freakouts

No videos of real-life, malicious person-on-person assault/battery or physical abuse of animals. This includes raw videos of fights, police brutality/harassment, and malicious violence. This includes videos of child and animal abuse. Public freakout videos belong in r/PublicFreakout.

No Third Party Licensing

No videos that are licensed by a third party or are attempting to seek third party licensing. If the video description says: 'for licensing enquiries contact licensing@agency.com', the video is most likely licensed by a third party. If the video has a watermark, it also may be licensed by a third party. Videos that become licensed after they are posted will be removed.

No Self-Promotion / OC

We are currently not allowing any self-promotional content. r/Videos is not a platform for you to promote your own channel or one you're associated with.

Removals & Warnings

If your submission does not appear in the new queue, please contact us (be sure to include a link to the Reddit post (i.e. comments section), not the content you are linking). Simply deleting your post may cause the spam filter to catch future ones.
Note: Submissions from new users, and users with low karma, are automatically removed to help prevent spam.
Also, please contact us regarding spam, political or any other inappropriate videos, as this helps us remove them more quickly! When reporting, please explain why you think it should be removed.
Do not message moderators individually about posts not appearing in the new queue or ban appeals. Messages should be sent as a modmail to /r/Videos. Failure to do so may result in a ban.
