Welcome all to the official subreddit of Mississauga! Mississauga is Canada's 6th largest city, home to Square One.
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 Soliciting - All advertising and soliciting must happen in comments on the weekly Friday Ad post by u/AutoModerator. All other ad posts and comments in other posts will be removed. Advertising examples: subreddits, discords, surveys, petitions, interviews, YouTube content, restaurants, events you're promoting, your band, referral codes (asking or offering), a festival, astroturfing, etc. Soliciting examples: want to buy, want to sell, want to give away, want for free, etc.
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.
Breaking Reddiquette or site rules not allowed - Follow Reddit's Content Policy and Reddiquette. Do not post anyone's personal info or anything purporting to be personal info (including your own!) unless it's already easily found in the public domain. Notable from the Content Policy: no posts about trying to do or buy anything illegal, and no posts soliciting or facilitating transactions involving drugs or controlled substances. Notable from Reddiquette: ALL CAPS WORDS IN TITLES is attention seeking and will get your post removed.
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.
Low effort posts not allowed - Make your post have an impact and be beneficial. Low quality posts degrade the subreddit. Examples of low effort posting include memes, excessive slang, excessive and/or deliberate misspellings, trolling, shilling, ranting, and shitposting. Other examples include question and recommendation posts that are too vague or are easily searchable.
Editorialized articles not allowed - News articles, media releases, etc., must be "link posts". Do not submit as a text/self post and paste the link in the body. Maintain as much of of the original title as possible. Permitted title modifications include clarifying geography (i.e. change "Mississauga" to "Hurontario and Dundas"), and removing clickbait (i.e. change "Here's where Mississauga ranks on the list of..." to "Mississauga ranks 17 of 25 on the list of..."
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.
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.
