It’s a community for pictures of comedians telling jokes.

Rules:

- Do not insult a submitter’s physical appearance

Appearance = Age, sex, height, weight, race, gender, etc. The picture is there to keep the comic from making jokes they would be ashamed to do in real life, and to make it slightly harder for facebook & twitter “celebrities” to build followings based off uncredited material.

- Do not insult a submitter’s talent/career

Attack the joke, not the joker. Comedians with major TV credits don’t get special treatment in this sub - comedians without them don’t deserve special abuse. The fact that you don’t like a particular joke is no excuse to call the submitter a nobody, talentless, cancer, hacky, unfunny, tell them to kill themselves or not quit their day job. This includes accusations of paying for upvotes, which is just another way of doing the same thing.

- Submissions must feature a photo of the comedian

Submissions must feature a photo of the comedian on stage. This community is focused on standup comedy and comedians, not just funny tweets or memes. For non-OC, this helps ensure proper attribution. For OC, this is a quality control measure - comics shouldn’t post anything they aren’t comfortable saying in real life. Animated GIFs are allowed.

- Repost Policy

Upvotes & downvotes, not comments, determine if content has been reposted too frequently. Non-OC reposts are allowed, provided it’s clear the submitter is not the original creator, and the comedian is properly credited. OC reposts are also allowed, but your real identity is associated with your submissions so don’t abuse it.

- Original Content Preferred

Standupshots is primarily an OC community. Non-OC submissions are allowed, but may be removed if they’re keeping original content from ascending to the #1 spot.

- No accusations of spam/self-promotion

This community is primarily intended for Original Content creators to share their content. In exchange for providing free content, they’re allowed to promote things like their social media, shows and other projects (just like /r/IamA). Attempting to shame submitters who use the community for its intended purpose is not allowed.

- No misogyny

If your Amy Schumer South Park quote wouldn’t make sense when applied to a male comedian, it probably falls in this category. Ditto if your post history includes calling out female comics for sex jokes, but not men. Complaining about this policy is a good way to be ignored by the mod team.

- No accusations of vote manipulation

Nobody here is buying or botting upvotes, but if you suspect vote manipulation, the proper procedure is to notify the admins here, Click the button that says “message the admins,” then “something else,” then “content that breaks lemmy’s rules” and finally “vote manipulation.” Slandering submitters in the comments can get you banned. Personal dislike of a joke is not evidence of conspiracy.

- No pictures of tweets

No pictures of tweets (or similar social-media-looking posts). No cartoons/heavily filtered images. The idea is to identify the comic and recreate some of the stage experience. Stick a joke on a photo like everybody else.
