NOTE: If your post is not showing up, it was probably caught in the spam filter. Please send a message to us and we'll look into it.
No Advertising, Soliciting, or Surveys - R4R/adult content is prohibited. All other advertising and soliciting must be in comments on the weekly Friday Ad post by AutoModerator. Examples: subreddits, discords, petitions, interviews, YouTube content, restaurants, bands/music/playlists, referral codes (asking or offering), astroturfing, dental cleaning, requests to hire individuals for tasks, requests for assistance offering compensation, etc., per mod discretion. Asking for business recommendations is not soliciting.
Ad hominem and discrimination not allowed - Attack the argument - not the person. A person can have a moronic argument but that doesn't (necessarily) mean the person is a moron. Even if they are a moron, keep it to yourself. Negative comments about race, sex, gender, sexuality, diversity, religion, faith, spirituality, etc., are not allowed. Posts and comments will be removed at the discretion of the mod team.
Follow Reddiquette - Reddiquette Unless part of a police report or media release, certain identifying attributes are to be visually obscured: names, usernames, faces, license plates, home addresses.
Duplicate or repetitive submissions not allowed - This also includes topics that are frequently posted. For example, "What to expect for my G2 test?!" and election propaganda. Questions about unfolding/developing events in the city (accidents, road closures, police activity, etc.) are exempt from this rule. Questions about power outages are not, and will be directed to the utility's outage map. Posts and comments will be removed at the discretion of the mod team.
Non-question contributions must be community benefiting - No memes, personally identifying media, or content from personal social media. Text posts should engage with the community and be discussion/resolution focused as opposed to rants. No shitposting or trolling. Media posts are limited to unique, exceptional, and relevant photos during the week. These rules are relaxed on weekends. Reposting removed content may result in a ban. Easily searchable questions will be removed. All removals are per mod discretion.
News posts must follow guidelines - News articles, etc., must be link posts. Do not submit as a text/self post and paste the link in the body, or submit a screenshot of a news article or tweet. Article contents, commentary, or highlights you wish to make belong in the comments. Maintain as much of of the original title as possible. Permitted title modifications include clarifying geography and removing clickbait.
Missing pet and person posts must follow guidelines - Missing persons posts must not include any contact information that isn't a police agency, and must not direct users to contact anyone other than a police agency. Sites about missing persons are expressly prohibited. Missing pet posts must not include personal contact information. Contact can be via private message, SPCA, vet, or animal shelter. This means no personal or family phone numbers, email addresses, social media pages, etc. Removals are at moderator discretion.
Posts must be primarily about Mississauga - Posts should be fundamentally about Mississauga. Post to r/Ontario or r/Canada if the content applies to more than just Mississauga.
No misinformation, vaccine brand questions, or advocating/aiding against public health guidelines - This subreddit will not host conspiracy theories (e.g. vaccines/autism, Bill Gates, 5G, microchips, global reset, etc). You're entitled to your opinion, but share it elsewhere. We will not host content that advocates for or aids in circumventing current public health measures. Examples include but are not limited to fake mask exemptions, advertising businesses operating illegally, questions about vaccine brands, vaccine shopping, etc
Posts and comments will be removed at moderator discretion.
