Subreddit guides combine public Reddit source URLs, captured rules, visible verification dates, and Rankhog's account-safety workflow.

Rule summary

  • Be True to Your School.: Just like you would to your girl or guy.
  • Merch Promotion:: Is allowed as a post on the main sub on THURSDAYS ONLY! Quality, artistic, relevant work please. We support creators, but DO NOT over spam, and ALWAYS post an IMAGE with your link! No low effort junk. (If you need an exemption contact the moderators 1st and get an OK.) You may add your merch link WITH IMAGE ANY DAY of the week as a COMMENT on the MERCH DROPS pinned post. We encourage THURSDAY posts to also add a link with IMAGE to the MERCH DROPS pin. MERCH IS COOL IN MODERATION.
  • Don't be repetitive. Hit the Search + Wiki 1st.: The Wiki is coming…
  • No Murrys Allowed. Go Troll somewhere else.: No sh!tposts. You know where to go with that.
  • Keep it clean with Matt Jardine.: I heard that other guy won’t go near the water.
  • Moderators have the Last Word.: No trolls, raids, brigades, harassment, report abuse, low effort or offensive posts, or excessive negativity will be tolerated. Moderators reserve the right to ban users, delete posts and update rules at their discretion. This is necessary as the sub grows.
  • Positivity and Cross Talk.: Contribute positively to the subreddit. If you don’t like the content on the sub, the best way to change it is to post worthwhile content. Excessive negativity, trash talk and cross talk about other subreddits will result in an immediate ban.

Works well

  • Posting a high quality, artistic piece of content that celebrates a specific song or era of The Beach Boys.
  • Posting a relevant and high quality piece of fan art or music appreciation content that shows you are true to the community’s spirit.
  • Posting merchandise on a Thursday that is high quality, artistic, and relevant, and including an image with the post.
  • Adding a merch link with an image as a comment on the MERCH DROPS pinned post on any day of the week.

Avoid

  • Posting merchandise promotion as a main post on any day other than Thursday.
  • Submitting low effort junk or content that is not high quality and artistic.
  • Engaging in excessive negativity, trash talk, or cross talk about other subreddits.
  • Posting repetitive content without first checking the search function or the Wiki.
  • Posting sh!tposts or content that violates the rule of “No Murrys Allowed. Go Troll somewhere else.”

What r/thebeachboys Is For

This community is a place dedicated to celebrating Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. The description says it is for putting out hearts together and celebrating Brian Wilson as a timeless musical genius and innovator. It is a space for fans to honor his musical contributions and the era he defined.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rules that dictate how you can market or post are “Merch Promotion”, “Don't be repetitive. Hit the Search + Wiki 1st.”, and “Positivity and Cross Talk.”

What To Post

A good post here should contribute positively to the subreddit and celebrate the music or the legacy of The Beach Boys. If you are promoting something, it must be high quality, artistic, and relevant to the band. If you are promoting merch, make sure it is on a Thursday, it is a post on the main sub, and it must include an image.

What To Avoid

You must avoid low effort junk, sh!tposts, and any content that is offensive or excessive negativity. Also, you should avoid trash talk or cross talk about other subreddits, as this will result in an immediate ban. If you are posting merch, you must not overspam and must follow the specific guidelines for Thursdays.
