COMMUNITY RULES

Don’t Make It Weird.

You can disagree here. You can judge. You can tell someone their husband is being ridiculous.

You cannot stalk people, expose private information, threaten anyone, or turn a disagreement about birthday parties into an international incident.

Be honest. Be funny. Don’t be a monster.

Mom WTF is built for arguments worth having. Not outrage bait. Not rage farming. Not parenting advice. Not cruelty dressed up as honesty.

Readers should leave smiling, even if they disagreed.

THE ACTUAL RULES

The line is not complicated.

01

Argue With the Opinion

Disagree with what someone said. Do not attack their body, children, identity, appearance, disability, or personal life.

02

No Real Names

Do not identify children, schools, workplaces, neighbors, teachers, doctors, exes, or the woman from the PTA who is absolutely going to know the story is about her.

03

Remove Private Information

No phone numbers, addresses, usernames, license plates, school names, medical details, or screenshots that expose someone who did not volunteer for internet court.

04

No Threats or Harassment

Do not threaten people, follow them across posts, contact them elsewhere, or make them afraid to participate.

05

No Parenting Perfection Contests

People make different choices. You do not need to prove that you alone deserve the commemorative Mother of the Year tote bag.

06

No Promotional Dumping

No spam, affiliate links, MLM pitches, suspicious miracle products, or dropping the same business link into every conversation.

07

Keep Children Out of the Crossfire

Talk about the situation. Do not insult a child, diagnose them from a paragraph, or turn their private life into entertainment.

08

Do Not Weaponize Honesty

Being blunt is allowed. Being cruel and calling it honesty is not the same thing.

SUBMISSIONS

Your story may be edited.

Polls, stories, screenshots, and tips may be shortened, cleaned up, anonymized, retitled, combined, held, or declined.

We may remove identifying details. We may fix obvious spelling. We may tighten the setup so readers can understand what happened before they die of old age.

Poll standards

  • Question first
  • Maximum 12 words
  • Conversational
  • Easy to understand in under 3 seconds
  • Two clear sides
  • No clickbait

MODERATION

We can remove anything.

Mom WTF may remove comments, submissions, accounts, links, or anything else that makes the site worse, puts someone at risk, creates legal trouble, or turns a normal argument into a dumpster with WiFi.

We do not owe every removal a courtroom hearing, committee meeting, or twelve part explanation.

Report something that crossed the line.

Use the report option when available, or contact us with the page link and a short explanation. Do not start a second fight about the first fight.

Before you post, ask one question.

Would I say this if the person were sitting here?

If the answer is no, rewrite it. If the answer is yes and you are still being awful, that is a separate issue.

Understood. Show me the mess.
