Rules of the Road

Here are some things that will prompt your comment to be removed and possibly get you blocked. Note that this is not a comprehensive list. Our social media team reserves the right to remove anything we deem inappropriate.

Spam
We have a zero-tolerance policy. Spam will be deleted whether it comes from a human or a robot. This includes self-promotion. Generally speaking, promoting your projects here will be treated like any other spam.

Personal Attacks
Don't attack or insult another user or editor. It's not helpful and doesn't make Thrillist a friendly place. This includes calling other members trolls.


NSFW Material

Not allowed. Even images or links that could be considered borderline are not acceptable. A good rule of thumb is that anything beyond PG-13 will get you in trouble, but we reserve the right to remove any post we deem offensive. This goes for pornographic material, vile language, gore, and generally gross stuff.


Racism, Sexism, Misogyny, Transphobia, and Other Discriminatory Comments or Language
Broadening language to target, disparage, or attack an entire class of people is just like attacking a single person, and you will be banned for it.


Trolling
“Trolling” is a big, messy term, but we know what trolls are and won't tolerate them. If you're abusing the good conversations here at Thrillist, we will remove your comments and posts. This includes taking a thread off-topic.

Promotional Posts or Comments

We don’t allow commenters to promote deals or businesses on any platform.

Moderation

Isn’t This Censorship?
We’re trying to foster great conversation and we will remove comments that harm that endeavor. The Thrillist social media team decides whether something fits within our community guidelines.

Questions About Moderation
If you have a question about moderation, contact us via our DM, and we’ll discuss it.

Above all, our social team works to keep the conversation friendly, engaging, helpful, and productive. If we feel a comment harms that endeavor, we’ll take action.

Thrillist social media community guidelines and policies are constantly evolving, like the Internet, and we reserve the right to change and adapt them as needed.
