Hey everyone,

We are implementing a new rule regarding user flairs to keep our community properly organized.

If you are 20 years old or older, you are now required to have either the "ADULT" or "UNC" user flair set on your profile when participating in this subreddit.

Our automated moderation system will now scan posts and comments for age disclosures. If the system detects that you are 20 or above and you do not have one of these two specific flairs assigned, your post/comment will be automatically removed and a ban will be issued.

How to set your user flair:

1. Go to the subreddit home page.
2. Tap the three dots (...) in the top right corner (on mobile) or look at the right-hand sidebar under "Create Post" (on desktop).
3. Select "Change user flair".
4. Choose either ADULT or UNC and save.

Please update your flairs accordingly to avoid any automated moderation actions. As always please refer to our rules Thank you!

Welcome!

To ensure this community remains a safe, relatable and teen focused space, we have established clear boundaries for adult (20+) participation.

It is a little "too extreme" for every adult to be banned here, so we won't be doing that. But the primary focus of the subreddit must always be the teenagers age demographic.

This guideline is intended to get rid of any confusion PERMANENTLY. (Post is subject to change)

Please read and strictly abide to the following guidelines:

​1. Adults Are Restricted From Posting [EXCEPT FOR SCHOOL RELATED QUESTIONS]

​Teen-Only Posting: Adults are strictly prohibited from creating new posts on the subreddit. Parents asking children about school related stuff are an exception.

​Why?: This feed is reserved exclusively for teenagers to share their experiences, ask questions, and connect with their peers. Any post identified as being created by an adult will be removed. Further posts will lead to further removals, and of course, a ban.

If an adult wants to post here, it has to be for a valid reason and you will NEED mod approval. Parents do not need mod approval.

2. Limited Commenting

​Adults are allowed to participate in the comment sections, but under very specific conditions:

​Stick to Professional/Expert Topics: Adults should only comment on posts where their real-world experience is genuinely helpful. This includes topics like finance, career guidance, and education.

​Limit Your Presence: Do not use this subreddit for casual chatter, hanging out, or befriending teens. Keep your advice objective, brief, and helpful.

​Let Teens Lead: If a thread is about social life, memes, or casual sub drama (sports or whatever) please step back and let the community interact on its own.

Adults in the sub can only participate and leave comments in 2 posts a week. Any more than that? Your comments will be removed and you'll be given a warning. Further violations will lead to a ban.

3. The "Adult" or "UNC" flair is Mandatory

​The Rule: Any adult wishing to comment on educational or financial threads must self-assign an "Adult" or "18+" user flair.

​Why it helps: This makes it instantly clear to teenagers and moderators who is speaking, preventing adults from blending into regular peer-to-peer teen conversations.

An adult who comments in any post without the flair will be banned.

4. Adults with NSFW presence will be banned.

​The safety of our members is our absolute highest priority.

​Strict Bans: Any adult user who has posts/comments in NSFW subreddits, or has any NSFW-related history on their account will be instantly and permanently banned from the sub.

​No Warnings: Zero leniency towards any user banned for this reason.

​How to Help Us

​To the teens of this subreddit, to make our lives and yours easier, if you see an adult violating these rules, making unnecessary posts, spamming comments, or exhibiting suspicious behavior, please report them immediately or message the mod team, either through DMs or modmail.

​Thank you for your cooperation in keeping r/UAETeenagers safe and organised!
