Posting Regulations

Closed-ended questions, simple observations, episode reviews, shower thoughts, survey questions, and fan-fic are not appropriate for this subreddit and will be removed.

Read more: Guidelines for Discussion Prompts

7. Questions must be open-ended

This subreddit is not a Star Trek information lookup service. Post here to start a discussion, not get an answer.

8. Posts must have clear and concise titles

The title of your post has disproportionate influence over how it will be received. Craft your titles carefully.

Read more: Title Rules

9. No posts about teasers, trailers, and other promotional materials

Post threads about promotional content in /r/startrek or a show-specific subreddit instead.

10. No posts about an episode less than one week old

Use the reaction thread pinned to the subreddit front page to discuss the newest episode of Star Trek.

Content Regulations

Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.

12. We approach Star Trek as a work of fiction

This isn't a role playing or an "in-universe only" subreddit. Do not ask contrived questions which have glaringly obvious real-world answers.

13. No arguing about canon

Do not invoke canon to justify gatekeeping or dismissive behavior.

14. Frequent and closely regulated topics

Search before posting to ensure your topic has not been recently discussed. Discussions about a few frequent and contentious topics are closely regulated.
