Subreddit Rules & Posting Guidelines
Before you make a post or leave a comment, please take a moment to read and follow the rules below.
These help keep the subreddit useful and respectful for everyone.
1. Do Basic Research First
Use Google or the subreddit search before posting.
Please avoid asking general questions that are already widely answered.
Ask for:
- Comparisons
- Personal experiences
- Context-specific advice
Avoid asking:
- "What to do in Jakarta?"
- "What food is good in Indonesia?"
(Use the stickied threads or search bar first.)
2. BE POLITE AND RESPECTFUL
You're talking to fellow human beings—not a search engine or AI.
Greet others with Hello or Hi and don’t forget to say thank you or terima kasih. A little courtesy makes the community better for everyone.
Last thing we need in this city is another entitled ungrateful person. All posts without proper greetings or any manners that look like an AI prompt instead of a real query will be removed, along with their replies.
3. Be Efficient in Your Posts
If you have multiple questions, put them in one post.
Do not create several posts for each individual question.
This sub is definitely not for karma farming.
4. Be Specific and Detailed
Give context to your questions. The more detail, the better the answers you’ll receive.
Good Example:
"I'm visiting Jakarta for 3 days, staying in Kemang. I’d like to see museums and try local street food."
Bad Example:
"What to do in Jakarta?"
"What to eat?"
(These are too broad and may be removed.)
5. Language
English is encouraged to include more people in the discussion.
But Bahasa Indonesia is also welcome.
6. Don’t Gatekeep or Shame Posts
Unhelpful comments like:
"cObA pOsTiNg dI sUb /InDoNeSiA aJa"
...will be removed.
Some users post here because they can’t post elsewhere or had their posts removed in other subs. If you're not contributing, please don't comment.
7. NO Buying or Selling
This subreddit is not a marketplace.
Posts or comments offering items or services for sale, looking to buy something, or otherwise facilitating buying and selling are not allowed.
Please use r/jualbeliindonesia for buying, selling, and other marketplace-related posts instead.
Posts or comments that violate this rule will be removed.
8. NO Soliciting Illegal Matters or Other 18+ Related Matters
This sub will never be associated with criminals, sexpats or degenerates.
Any posts about how to get drugs, prostitutes, sugar daddies, or whatever your sexual kinks or fetishes will be removed. Repeat posters will be permanently banned.
9. Be Civil and Respect Opinions
Disagree without being rude. Don’t insult others' preferences.
We ABSOLUTELY will not tolerate bigots, racists, homophobes, sexists, and other sorts of assholes.
Instead of:
"That place sucks. Food is trash."
Try:
"I didn't enjoy that place personally, but others might."
Important Notes for New Users
- Accounts less than 1 day old, or with less than 1 karma, will require manual mod approval.
- Posts that don’t follow the rules will not be approved and will be removed, along with their comments.
Repeat Offenders Will Be Banned
We aim to keep this community helpful and respectful.
Users who repeatedly break the rules will receive a permanent ban.
If you have any questions about the rules, feel free to ask in the comments.
Thanks for helping keep this community great!
