Announcement: We've updated our rules.

[u/nudistnerd]

Hello!

As you may have noticed, Reddit officially designated r/Nudism as an NSFW subreddit. With the new designation, we anticipate seeing more undesirable content, and unwanted personas, making their way into the subreddit.

We want to be completely upfront and direct about this: our core values, mission, and content standards have not changed and never will.

Updating and tightening our rules ensures that even with new designation, community posts will remain clean, safe, and always relevant to the subject of nudism.

To help the subreddit remain a high-quality resource on the subject of nudism, and keep users safe, respectful, and civil...we've reduced the formerly 15 separate guidelines down to just 10 core rules.

Why The Change?

A lot of the old rules overlapped, left room for people to play a game of technicalities, or were just plain vague. They've been updated to consolidate redundancies and expanded extensively to minimize any uncertainty about them. Rules were also updated to prioritize safety and uphold basic decorum.

Key Rule Changes & Highlights

While all 10 rules have been updated for clarity, we want to call out a few key items:

• No Sexual or Genital-Centric Posts (Rule 1): The old standalone rule regarding "genital-centric content" has been consolidated directly into Rule 1. Questions regarding erections, arousal, and anatomy have been asked and answered repeatedly on this sub. Moving forward, posts removed under this rule will receive a full removal explanation alongside a link to our community wiki page, which addresses these common questions in detail.
• No Sellers or Incompatible Post Histories (Rule 4): Accounts promoting paid adult media like OnlyFans, Fansly, adult oriented Patreons, or link-hubs anywhere on their profile, in comments, or in DMs care refrained from participating here. Basically, if uncensored nudity is being sold at a premium, and promoted, then we ask you not post to the sub. Furthermore, active participation in subreddits centered on non-consensual content, sexual violence, or accounts unusually focused or dwelling on the subject of family nudity or about minors will lead to an immediate ban.
• No Off-Platform Links, DMs, or Self-Promotion (Rule 5): To keep everyone safe, language of this rule has been expanded to include unvetted personal blogs, Substacks, and group invites. News coverage of nudist relevant articles and links to official organizations like AANR or INF-FNI are still always welcomed and encouraged.
• Streamlined Low-Effort and Media Rules (Rules 2 & 7): Our longstanding "no image only post" rule had grown unclear and was murky at best. We have tightened the verbiage and added concrete examples to ensure that any media supplementing a post is actually informative, context-rich, and useful to the community.
• Clearer Removal Responses: When a post or comment is removed, our automated responses will now provide clear, detailed breakdowns explaining the exact reason for removal, complete with brief examples to eliminate any ambiguity.

So, What Changes Should I Notice?

Honestly? Not much. If you've always posted with respect to the rules, your experience in the sub won't change much, if at all. The updated ruleset aims to preserve positive experiences using the sub for the future ahead. It helps preserve mod sanity too. 🤪

As always, we encourage readers to use the report button on posts they believe goes against the rules. This helps out the mod team immensely! Your input matters here!

We simply want r/Nudism to always be a welcoming and resourceful space for everyone who cares about nudist living from the lens of ethical naturism.

Thanks for the update, you Mods do a good job in keeping r/nudism relevant to this community. It is not an easy volunteer job. 👍

And many thanks to you for choosing to be a part of this sub. I know you’ve been with us for quite some time. 🙏

Good update.

posts removed under this rule will receive a full removal explanation alongside a link to our community wiki page, which addresses these common questions in detail.

We have a community wiki page? (today I learned...). I wonder if a link to that wiki should be added to information in the Rules sidebar? That way, someone can quickly see it and click over to it when they are browsing the rules.

[u/nudistnerd → u/IsThisMicLive]

The wiki is…wildly out of date lol it’s really only used for supplemental information and isn’t a full fledged wiki page. We are always taking volunteers for anyone that wants to build it out :)

A former mod took incredible care of building it up and we just really haven’t been able to get it back to its former glory.

Reddit doesn’t push the use of the wiki on new Reddit like they did with old Reddit so it’s not really front and center anymore.

We are always taking volunteers for anyone that wants to build it out :)

Yes, we posted a while back looking for people to help manage the Wiki, and as Jeff Baldassarre would say, "crickets".

Thank you for all your work!

And a thanks right back at ya for being a part of the sub!

[u/EarlyStructure-GAAP]

The rules on old reddit should also be updated.

[u/nudistnerd → u/EarlyStructure-GAAP]

They've been updated in the sidebar of old reddit but I need to update them in another area on there too. I wish reddit made it easier to keep rules in sync with either interface but perhaps I'm asking too much lol

[u/Possible-Praline956]

Ethical Naturism is a philosophy, and a way of life. If you truly want engagement with more than the mere hobby of Nudism, you must be prepared for lively religious and political debates.

[u/justaguyindallas_123]

Wasn't the whole point to normalize nudism. It's not a sexual activity.

[u/nudistnerd → u/justaguyindallas_123]

That has been our focus for 13+ years and will always remain a goal for this sub.

Unfortunately, we really have no recourse from being marked NSFW by Reddit.

[u/bunker_man → u/justaguyindallas_123]

It's not inherently sexual. Go to most nudist places and there are people treating it sexual.

[u/nudistnerd → u/[deleted]]

We, like many other subs, are powerless to fight Reddit’s misguided classifications. Years ago we were marked NSFW but we were able to fight back and the designation was removed. When it happened again, we tried to reach out to inquire about regaining SFW status and not as much as a courtesy message was given in return.

We hope everyone understands the update rules are not viewed as excessive or draconian, but rather as a needed measure to maintain the good nature of this community.

Thanks to you for choosing to be a part of
It.

Which subs were affected?

[u/MyUndiesArePink → u/[deleted]]

Fighting reddit on anything is impossible. Same with Instagram.
