Subreddit Rule 15: Clickable link in post

Reddit admins can suspend your account if you post a clickable link to a scam or dangerous website.

Reddit doesn't allow editing the titles of posts, so you'll have to post again. This time, put the website address in the title of your new post and don't put a link in the body.

We need to know the website address to be able to help you. Just naming the company isn't enough. And having addresses in the titles of posts is the safest way for us to know, and it will also allow search engines to easily find your post, when other people in the future Google this exact same website. Links in titles aren't clickable, so this is the safe thing to do. Please post again following this directive.

If we removed this after you successfully got the answer you needed, please consider posting again anyway. Your post will help future scam victims. We just want you to report it properly.

Note that there may be more removal messages in addition to this one. Please make sure you check your notifications to read all of them.

Your post talks about a website or email address, but you forgot to include the website domain in the title. Do not just write the name of the website (for example: Reddit is a website name, and www.reddit.com is a website domain)

Please read the following guideline: How to submit a good post to r/scams, where we describe what a good title is for us.

As you can see in that guideline, we want posts to have a good title because Google loves Reddit. This post may be about you asking for help, it may also be you warning you about a new scam. Whatever the case may be, this post will help hundreds of other people if it's searchable. We want to make sure your title summarizes the scam being described.

If this post is about a scam website (or a potential scam website), make sure your new post contains the website address in the title (not in the post). Unfortunately post titles aren't editable, so you'll have to post again if that's the case.

We need the full story

Make sure your explanation covers the "five Ws" of journalism: a checklist of all the essential points of a proper story.

• WHO? Who is involved? Is it someone you met in person? Is it an "online friend"? But remember to not post full names or uncensored photos of people, even if it's a scammer.
• WHAT? What happened exactly? What were you doing, what were you trying to do, what were the scammers telling you?
• WHEN? A proper timeline is essential to understanding the scam.
• WHERE? Was this in person? Was this online? If it was online, write the website address in the title of your new post. Sometimes scammers impersonate legitimate businesses, so a website address is essential. Don't post clickable links.
• WHY? Why are you posting? You need help to determine if something is a scam, or you're posting to report a scam to our community?
• HOW? How did the scam go about? How you paid them money, how they tried to make you pay, how can someone avoid getting scammed?

Visually impaired users can't read screenshots:

Don't use a screenshot if what you're sharing is a block of text, because screen readers can't read images. This is especially disallowed if you're sharing an email you received or a SMS or social media conversation. You should rather copy and paste the text as is. We usually don't need a screenshot to determine if something is a scam, so use them sparingly.

When sharing news articles or YouTube videos, include context in the body of the post (not in the comment section). A summary written by you or a copy-and-pasted representative section (of an article) must be provided along with the link. We don't want links with no context; readers need to know what to expect if they decide to click the link.

• WHEN? A proper timeline is essential to understanding the scam.
• WHERE? Was this in person? Was this online? If it was online, write the website address in the title of your new post. Sometimes scammers impersonate legitimate businesses, so a website address is essential. Don't post clickable links.
• WHY? Why are you posting? You need help to determine if something is a scam, or you're posting to report a scam to our community?
• HOW? How did the scam go about? How you paid them money, how they tried to make you pay, how can someone avoid getting scammed?

Visually impaired users can't read screenshots:

Don't use a screenshot if what you're sharing is a block of text, because screen readers can't read images. This is especially disallowed if you're sharing an email you received or a SMS or social media conversation. You should rather copy and paste the text as is. We usually don't need a screenshot to determine if something is a scam, so use them sparingly.

When sharing news articles or YouTube videos, include context in the body of the post (not in the comment section). A summary written by you or a copy-and-pasted representative section (of an article) must be provided along with the link. We don't want links with no context; readers need to know what to expect if they decide to click the link.
