Rules
Rule 1: Posts must be related to details in movies
Not blatantly obvious observations, but obscure enough that people could have missed it, or they noticed it but the significance didn’t click. Details must be about something on screen, not off screen. See rule 8 for more info. Whether a post is a detail or not is decided via a community vote in a stickied comment, but moderators reserve the right to remove posts that don't fit.
Rule 2: Flair your post
Please flair your post apropriately, moderators will change or remove it if it is incorrect.
Rule 3: Be civil
Be civil. Uncivil comments including "detail is obvious" will be removed and may get you banned. Political comments may be removed because they can easily devolve into off-topic arguments. Repeated shitposting and rule-breaking may also get you banned.
Rule 4: Titles must include the movie name and release year
All submissions must include the name of the movie in the title.
Rule 5: Explain your post
Make sure your submission has an explanation either in the title or in the comments and add "(explanation in comments)" to your title. Details must also be adequately explained with a relevant screencap or clip.
Rule 6: No unreleased movies or spoilers in titles
No spoilers in the title or untagged comments. Don't browse /new if you're worried about this. Until a movie becomes available for purchase on multiple storefronts, digitally or physically, it will not be allowed on r/moviedetails. *Unless it's confirmed to never be released on any other platforms (such as Netflix exclusives).
Rule 7: No games or TV shows, movies only
Submissions must be movies, TV shows, and games should go to /r/TVDetails and /r/GamingDetails. See this multireddit for more details subreddits.
Rule 8: No off topic posts
No memes, meta, questions, theories or politics posts. Also, Movie mistakes, special effects, behind the scenes clips and images, and production/offscreen trivia are not allowed here. See the sidebar for more appropriate subreddits if your post doesn’t belong here.
Rule 9: Avoid reposts
All titles must be spoiler free and posts related to recent movies may be marked as spoiler.
No common reposts, recent reposts or or reposts of posts that had previously gained over 20,000 upvotes. See a repost? crosspost it to r/MovieDetailsRepost.
Rule 10: Factual posts require a source.
By default, all Trivia posts require a source. Other posts may require a source depending on the context of the detail. IMDB is not an accepted source, along with uncited blog posts and articles (such as Whatculture). If you claim that something is on the DVD commentary, you must provide proof that it is (with a picture or quote).
Please remember:
All of these rules will be enforced and interpreted at the discretion of the moderators. Whilst we aren't actively looking to ban we may ban for any reason we see fit.
Banning Policy
Spam
If 10% or more of your content is from the same domain, youtube account or similar you will be permanently banned as a spammer. You may appeal this by messaging the moderators if some time has passed and you are submitting from a variety of places.
Incivility
Incivility will be met with a ban, the length of which will be determined on a case by case basis. Most bans will be lifted by acknowledging what rule you broke and promising not to break it again.
Spoilers
Continued breaking of rule 9 could result in a temporary ban.
Modmail
If you are abusive via modmail you will be immediately muted.
