A place for bears and bear admirers. Woof! Please read the rules before posting or commenting here. Grr!
Posts displaying any sort of bigotry are not permitted. These include, but are not limited to:
Transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, racism. This includes sexual racism, or as we like to call it, "racism."
This is not the place to buy or sell items or services. Examples include clothes, gear, toys, and porn. You may not ask for money, donations or financial help. There are other subreddits for that.
If you break this rule, you will be permanently banned on the first offense.
Content posted to r/gaybears should pertain to bears/cubs/chubs/chasers/admirers. Do not post content unrelated to the bear community, including memes.
Do not report a submission just because you don't like it: That's what downvoting is for. Do not report people because you don't think they're bears. This is a subreddit for bears AND admirers.
Submissions should be reported if they do not follow our subreddit rules, Reddit's sitewide rules/TOS, or if they contain illegal content.
Please also remember to select or write the reason why you are reporting the post.
Remember to respect your fellow bears (including yourself), they are here for the same reason as you. Follow general reddiquette.
Soliciting for invites and inviting people to follow your social media, groups (discord, telegram, etc.), and visit off-reddit sites are prohibited. Any users doing any of the above will be banned.
Exceptions: Non-spammy image and video hosting websites commonly used on Reddit
Subreddit promotion is acceptable if the subreddit being promoted is relevant to the bear community.
No advertisement of OnlyFans or similar services are allowed. This includes links, watermarks/logos.
Do not direct viewers to find such links, including solicitations to view reddit user profile.
Violators will be permanently banned on first offense.
We will also permanently ban OF/etc. accounts that are twinks/nonbears, hetero/gay-baiting, spam posts to myriad subreddits, or have little/no history of replying to comments on their own posts, whether or not they link to/mention their OF.
If you wish to contact any of the mods, send a message to the subreddit. Please do not contact mods directly
Do not ask for people to message you on KIK, Snapchat, Telegram, or other messaging services nor give your associated username.
Likewise, do not post messaging service QR codes here, and don't post screenshots/screengrabs from any of these apps, either.
Asking for DMs here on Reddit is fine.
Attempting to circumvent this rule and its associated title controls will result in a permanent nonnegotiable ban on first offense.
If you're not age 18+, please don't post here. Do not post images here of anyone under age 18.
If a redditor's posts or comments show they are <18, we will remove their content and ban them. However, if you believe someone is underage, but there's no indication of this in their profile, post history or comments, please Report their content using Reddit's "Minor abuse or sexualization" report reason, so Reddit's admin team can investigate.
