We require our users to be positive and respectful to one another. This means being kind to those you disagree with.

Behaviors such as shaming, mocking, ranting, advocating violence, and threatening (including threats of self-harm) other users, third parties, groups, or businesses will be met with removals and bans. This includes content that leads to or promotes on- or off-site witch-hunting, abuse, or harassment in any way.

Be excellent to each other.

Respect others' differences, be they race, religion, home, job, gender identity, ability, vulnerability, or sexuality. When faced with a removal or ban, "I was just joking!" or "it was obviously sarcasm" are not acceptable excuses.

Dehumanizing language and slurs are instant bans.

Do not deviate from news headlines when sharing news articles. Save your opinions for sharing in comments within the post.

Moderators reserve the right to remove posts about extreme experiences at the team's discretion if the information or source is unverifiable and/or sensationalized.

Please avoid posting information that can be easily proven false, including science denial like anti-vaxx messaging or disputing climate change.

All submissions should be relevant to Metro Vancouver and the surrounding areas. Topics and news about British Columbia or Canada may be allowed with mod discretion.

Duplicate new posts will be removed. Basic and common questions should go on r/AskVan or relevant subreddits, not r/Vancouver. This includes legal, tenancy, polls, moving, travel, and more. Questions, rants, and PSAs are allowed with moderator discretion only.

See the FAQ for more details as this is a complicated rule.

No unauthorized promotion, job-seeking, buy/sell, referral/affiliate links, crowdfunding campaigns, surveys, or petitions. We define spam as more than one promoting submission for nine unrelated pieces of content. Moderator discretion may be used when proactively identifying and actioning astroturfing and/or stealth promotion.

We automatically remove low-quality domains and UTM tracking links.
