Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • Be respectful: Treat fellow posters with the same respect you'd give people in real life. Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism and ableism will not be tolerated here. Flaming and harassing will also not be tolerated. You may have debates with people so long as they don't escalate into insults. Political debates are generally not allowed as they almost always devolve into shouting matches. We won't tolerate drama. If you see drama developing in the sub, please notify staff immediately.
  • No NSFW content: Not-safe-for-work content is prohibited on this sub. We understand much of this subreddit is adult, but this is a kid's show and we've plenty of underage members. Let's keep it PG-13. This includes the discussion of drug use, sex, and pedophilia. Sexualised drawings will also be removed. We also don't support incestual ships, ships with pedophilic undertones or cosplays that are advertising for onlyfans content. Explicit or NSFW discussion will result in a ban that you may appeal if you wish.
  • No piracy: Do not link to or mention sites or files that host free Gravity Falls episodes. We understand not everyone can watch the show on Disney Plus, but these sites should not be rewarded for hosting someone else's work. Our own links for episodes were a solution to poor Disney distribution during broadcast, and are no longer usable.
  • No off-topic or low effort posts: All content must be directly related to Gravity Falls. It should be clear that your post is show related without reading the title first. If not, your post is off-topic. Pictures of random triangles or shitposting is frowned upon. Staff discretion applies to reposts and karma-farming threads. Specifically, multi-thread ranking type posts are not allowed. For obvious reasons, we aren't here to talk about other subreddit members. If you post about members rather than the show, it'll be removed.
  • Don't post too much: We understand you might be excited about getting into the Gravity Falls fandom, but please don't dominate the sub. If your posts are overwhelming the reddit, or consistently low quality, we will remove them as spam.
  • Fanart must provide a source or credit: Fanart must provide a source or credit. You must include credits to the original creator when posting work that isn't yours, or adding "OC" to your post title if the work is yours. Uncredited work will be removed. Pinterest is not a valid source due to the prevalence of art theft on the platform. Fan art compilations will be removed unless there is a thorough source for every piece of work. Mod discretion applies to 'problematic' artists who otherwise break the sub's rules.
  • No AI-Generated content: At the request of our users, r/Gravityfalls will no longer allow the posting of AI-generated content. This is due to extensive concerns regarding the ethics of AI-generated content and the repeated posting of Character.AI chats.
  • No spam: No spam! This should be obvious, but we don't permit the use of bot accounts, karma-farming alts or chain posts on r/GravityFalls. Concerns of repeated spam or chain posts will lead to a ban.
  • No roleplaying!: We aren't a subreddit for roleplaying. If you do really want to pretend to be a triangle or a sweaty thirteen year old, please go to a roleplay community rather than here.

Works well

  • Original fanart of Gravity Falls characters, marked with OC in the title.
  • Thoughtful discussion posts about episodes, mysteries, or character arcs from the show.
  • Fanart shared with proper credit to the original creator and a valid source link.
  • Show-related creative work like theories or analysis that is clearly about Gravity Falls on its own.
  • A single high quality post spaced out over time rather than several posts in a short period.

Avoid

  • Posting AI-generated art or Character.AI screenshots, since the community has explicitly banned all AI-generated content.
  • Sharing uncredited fanart or using Pinterest as a source, because the moderators will remove it.
  • Posting content that is not clearly about Gravity Falls without reading the title, as it will be treated as off-topic.
  • Linking to or even mentioning sites that host free episodes, because the community prohibits piracy.
  • Posting too frequently and dominating the subreddit, since the moderators will treat that as spam.
  • Roleplaying as characters from the show, because the community is not a roleplay space.

What r/gravityfalls Is For

This community is for fans of the Disney animated show Gravity Falls, created by Alex Hirsch. People go there to talk about the show, share fanart, discuss characters, and celebrate the fandom. The moderators make clear that this is a kid's show subreddit with underage members, so the tone stays family friendly. It is not a place for roleplaying, drama, or off-topic content.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule called 'No off-topic or low effort posts' is the one that decides whether your post even belongs, because it says your post must be clearly related to Gravity Falls without reading the title. The rule called 'No spam' and the rule called 'Don't post too much' together control how often you can show up. The rule called 'Fanart must provide a source or credit' matters if you share any visual work, because uncredited work gets removed and Pinterest is not accepted. The rule called 'No AI-Generated content' is a hard block on anything AI-made. The rule called 'No NSFW content' keeps everything PG-13, which matters because the community has underage members. The rule called 'No piracy' means you cannot link to or mention sites hosting free episodes.

What To Post

A good post here is something clearly and directly about Gravity Falls, where someone looking at it can tell it is about the show without needing to read the title. If you share fanart, you must credit the original creator or mark it as OC in your title, and you cannot use Pinterest as a source. Original fanart, thoughtful discussion about episodes or characters, and show-related creative work all fit. If you are a founder or marketer, the only honest way in is to genuinely participate as a fan first, with content that stands on its own as valuable to the community.

What To Avoid

Avoid posting anything AI-generated, including AI art and Character.AI screenshots, because the community has banned it entirely. Do not share uncredited fanart, and never use Pinterest as a source. Stay away from NSFW content, including sexualised drawings, drug discussion, or ships with pedophilic or incestual undertones. Do not link to or mention piracy sites for episodes. Avoid low effort posts like pictures of random triangles, shitposting, or multi-thread ranking posts. Do not roleplay as characters. Do not post so much that you dominate the subreddit, because the moderators will remove your posts as spam.
