Article submissions must retain the source headline
Posts must use the headline from the source article. Any posts with editorialised headlines will be removed. If the headline changes or title metadata is incorrect then the moderation team will use its discretion to allow or remove the post or flair it appropriately.

No image or video posts which are political, bad quality, or memes
Images and videos may be permitted if they are interesting, related to the UK, non-political and good quality.
Pictures of UK landmarks and landscapes, personal achievements, or generally humorous images about the British experience are encouraged, as are interesting videos on British culture, history and comedy.
News videos and pictures of text or memes are not permitted.

No surveys, polls, petitions, fundraising, or solicitation

No surveys, polls, petitions, fundraising, or solicitation
No surveys, polls, petitions, fundraising, or solicitation. We occasionally allow official government petitions if they are sufficiently UK related and can benefit the majority of UK citizens, at our discretion.

No low-effort selfposts

No low-effort selfposts
Self-posts with contentious questions designed to provoke ire should not be posted. Nor should hot-takes, shitposts, or PSA's. Self-posts with neutral titles are allowed and indeed encouraged if they are well considered, and provoke good discussion. Moderators may still remove your post with a redirection to a more suitable subreddit, for example, DWPHelp, UKVisa, UKPolitics, AskUK, etc.

Social media restrictions
6
Social media restrictions
No Twitter, blog promotion, Spotify lists, unspecified social media or Facebook posts. Links to individual tweets or tweet/threadreader app summaries are not permitted. However a Twitter link as part of a well considered selfpost as per the 'no low-effort selfposts' rule is fine.

No op-eds or opinion pieces

No op-eds or opinion pieces
Do not post opinion pieces. If an article is in the "Opinion"/"Comment" section of a website, or is from a website that just deals in opinion, it will be removed.

No meta submissions, use the megathread.

No meta submissions, use the megathread.
Use the Freetalk/Megathread (if available). This includes linking/discussing other subreddits. Any such meta submission must be pre-approved by the moderators via modmail or it will be removed.
From time to time a megathread may be sticked to the top of the subreddit for specific subjects. If your submission is related, please do not post it to the subreddit, instead comment in the megathread with a link.

No duplicates or obfuscated links

No duplicates or obfuscated links
Only submissions containing substantial new information are permitted. Articles from different sources with essentially the same information are liable to be removed. This includes self-posts on similar subjects.
Don't submit or comment using mirrored AMP links, redirects, link shorteners, or other forms of URL obfuscation. Users must be able to tell where they will end up.

No articles older than 1 month

No articles older than 1 month
As this tends to be worthy of a selfpost or comment on an existing submission.

No Brigading

No Brigading
"Brigading" has several meanings but r/UK defines it as encouraging users from one subreddit into another to comment/vote, whether that is a explicit call to action or a likely consequence. We enforce "no brigading" by banning users which appear on both sides of the link (i.e. they appear both in the submission linking to us, and in the submission on our sub). Reddit is not your personal army. Consider using a screenshot instead.

No bots, novelty accounts or single-focus accounts

No bots, novelty accounts or single-focus accounts
Please report bots if you see them. The only exception is; Nicola_Botgeon, coverageanalysisbot, Automoderator.
No agenda-posting or frequently making posts about the same subject or from the same source. Please direct your focus to the appropriate subreddit.

No personal attacks

No personal attacks
Don't attack the Redditor, attack the content. Being able to disagree and discuss contentious issues is important, personal attacks strain this, and make it less likely for people to continue participating. Avoid personal attacks aimed at Redditors. Do report personal attacks and please try to keep your interactions with others civil and courteous. If you are being attacked, do not continue the conversation - report the user, block them, and move on.

Be Excellent
The mods have discretion to take action on users, comments, or posts, that they think break the site rules, amount to self-promotion, appear to be spam, are intended to derail discussion or undermine the functioning of the subreddit (including aggressive history wiping). We will issue warnings or bans for this, abuse of the report system, mod-mail, or the moderation team.
