Reddit is rampant with scammers, spammers and bots these days, so we have locked the subreddit for approved users only in order to keep the sub Scottish!

To be added to the Approved Users List, please submit TWO IMAGES of yourself that meet the following criteria;

• Image 1: a picture of yourself holding a piece of paper that has your Reddit username, today's date, and "r/GWScotland" written on it. This must be physically written on the paper, NOT added digitally. Scrunch this paper up, then flatten it out again for the picture. Digitally altered/photoshopped pictures will NOT be accepted.

• Image 2: a picture of yourself holding something Scottish. Anything Scottish you can think of will do!

Examples: Irn Bru, a haggis, a Scottish newspaper, the logo on your council tax letter, a totty scone, a driver's license with only the "SCOTLAND" part showing (cover up your personal info).

Please upload your images to a private album on Redgifs or Imaglr, then send the album's link to the subreddit's modmail.

These images do NOT need to be NSFW and do NOT require your face to be in them, they are just to keep the posts as Scottish as possible.

Once you have been verified by our mod team, you will receive the following:

• Verified User flair

• Verified OC Post flair

• Added to the Verified Users list, which should protect you from the spam filters.
