Rules Update
Hello, Redditors.
There have been some changes to the subreddit over the weekend, but most especially to the rules. We felt the rules were good, but did not exactly encompass the vision for the subreddit that we had.
Therefore, adjustments have been made. Please see the new and updated rules below in an expanded format from the shortened Reddit versions you’ll see on the sub. We hope this will illuminate some of the “fine line” areas and makes things a little clearer.
These rules are already effective immediately.
Remember to utilize the report functions to help us help you.
We take creating a safe, non-judgmental space for intellectual conversations very seriously.
Thank you for your cooperation in making this one of the best paranormal subreddits.
Stay tuned for what's coming down the pipeline: a contact modality guide made collectively by your mod team, a planned mass contact event for February, various informative series posts, potential collabs with other subreddits and more.
We look forward to building this community with you.
~ the mods of Interdimensional NHI
1. Communicate Respectfully
This is a non-judgmental space for safely sharing relevant content, thoughts and experiences.
Treat other members and public figures with civility. Insults, slurs, overly sexual content, trolling and harassment of any sort will not be tolerated.
Discourse must be on-topic and substantive. Constructive criticism for the sake of healthy debate is encouraged.
Attacking the identities of others is off-limits. If you disagree, do so respectfully. Failure to do so may entail comment removal or a ban.
2. No Proselytizing
While we are a community of varying socioreligious, metaphysical and esoteric beliefs, this is a place of unity for discussion without judgement.
General mention of religious, irreligious and occult beliefs are permitted when it’s on-topic; trying to convert people, or assert that your worldview is the only acceptable and true one, is not.
Respectful disagreements are allowed and differing perspectives may be shared, but an open mind is encouraged and space must be kept for other users to hold their own views.
Be mindful that some users may bear religious trauma. Comments and posts that break this rule will be removed and may result in a ban.
3. No Spam or Self-Promotion
Avoid spamming the subreddit with links or self-promotion. Occasional self-promotion is allowed if it contributes meaningfully to the discussion and follows the subreddit’s guidelines. Use the report button to notify moderators of rule-breaking content, and respect the decisions of the moderators.
4. Quality Content
This is a complex topic that invites a wide spectrum of belief and experience. Please keep in mind the nuanced nature of the subject. In depth, intellectual discussions require substantial details and context.
Ensure that your posts are high-quality and relevant to the subreddit’s theme, and that your comments actively contribute to the discussion at hand. Please post original content, rather than excessively sharing the content of others.
No low-effort posts, crass memes, CGI videos or X/Twitter links are allowed. Purely AI-generated wording and bullet lists will be removed. Anything which is deemed to violate this rule will be removed at moderative discretion.
5. Submission Statements and Flairs
Use appropriate flairs and tags to categorize posts for easy navigation and better engagement. All posts should contain submission statements about their content, either as a comment or included in the post itself.
Use your own words to tell us what you saw, heard or experienced. If something could be dismissed as prosaic by those who weren't there, provide information to explain why you believe it to not be so.
Posts without proper labelling or containing misleading information may be removed.
6. Respect to Experiencers
This is a place of open minded intellectual discussion with room for nuance and for collection of data points and evidence to help science understand experiencers better.
We accept Experiencers of all socioreligious, mundane, metaphysical and esoteric backgrounds as long as they follow the rules posted.
When posting, explain in your own words what you saw, heard, tasted, smelled, in as much detail as possible. Users may not invalidate other’s experiences. You may share your personal beliefs and suggestions, but see Rules 2, 14 and 15. If you don’t like someone’s content simply do not engage with it, or utilize the block function.
No bullying under any circumstances. This is not the place.
You may state what you personally have experienced or believe about your own experiences in comments or make suggestions the OP can look into, but you may not definitively tell anyone what it is they are seeing. You do not know them, you cannot speak to their personal experiences.
Come to the table to learn and support one another as best you can without breaking the No Proselytization rule. Take what you will and leave the rest.
We are not a therapy group. No one here is qualified in that way, and if they are, they are not currently acting as a paid professional.
We have resources for PTSD/Trauma and Experiencer friendly places as well as hypnotists and other resources. Do not accept offers for help from strangers on Reddit without due diligence and research.
Content and behavior violating this rule may result in post and comment removals or bans.
7. No NSFW Content
Keep content safe for work, wherever possible. If an experience you’ve had bears mature elements to it (and especially if those aspects could be trauma triggers for others), you are expected to follow Reddit’s content guidelines and make sure that you disclose the presence of said elements at the START of your post.
Wholly inappropriate conversations and posts will be removed at the discretion of moderators, and may result in a ban.
8. Discussion Topics
We are the Interdimensional NHI subreddit. We do not support the hypothesis that “all NHI are demonic” or “all entities have evil intentions”. We are discriminatory because the situation is extremely complex and there is a nuance and grey area to the Phenomenon itself, and entities of varying motivations and purposes that may not fall under human ideas of morality.
It should be noted that, stastically-speaking, the great majority of encounters with ufonauts are considered to be positive or “neutral” by experiencers (though predominantly or wholly negative occurrences should not be discounted.)
The type of entity involved can correlate somewhat with tendencies toward how they are perceived, though just as humans are a mixture of 'good' and 'bad' to differing degrees (or in certain ways), certain ufonautic beings give every impression of being likewise.
Refrain from propagating unbalanced or overly negative views of the Phenomenon, and from attempting to undermine experiencers by asserting that entities they are interacting with, or have interacted with, are merely deceiving evil spirits.
Do not offer unsolicited services such as “getting rid of” another’s beings, or request payment for such.
9. Source Your Claims
When making claims, especially ones you consider to be factual, provide sources or evidence to support them wherever possible (particularly for controversial or disputed topics). Unsourced content may be removed.
10. Respect Privacy
Do not share personal messages, chat logs, or private information without the permission of all parties involved.
11. No Low-Quality Memes or Humor
While we aren’t against humorous content in-and-of itself, ensure that any memes and jokes are high-quality, add value and aren’t designed simply to be incendiary and offensive, or disparaging to people who consider themselves eyewitnesses, experiencers, believers, or who are simply interested in the topics of UFOs and NHI.
12. Avoid Excessive Cross-Posting
Before posting, check for megathreads or to see if anyone else has posted the same thing before you. Excess posts about a particular video, whistleblower claim, etc. will be removed.
If something hasn’t been posted in a long time and you think it’s worth sharing again, particularly because of newfound relevance, make it clear that your content is a repost and explain your reasoning.
13. No Clickbait Titles
Titles should accurately reflect the content of the post. Clickbait or misleading titles will be removed.
14. No Discrediting the Topic or Subtopics
This subreddit is for those who are sincerely interested the interdimensional NHI hypothesis and its subtopics. Posts or comments created to discredit it will be removed, as will any attempts at debunking deemed to be poorly substantiated or ignoring contradicting details.
Users only here to mock believers and experiencers will be banned.
Skepticism should be productive, polite and expressed in good faith.
Please do not simply post demands for proof that the Phenomenon should be taken seriously.
15. No Unnecessary Political Comments
Unnecessary political comments or debates will be removed in order to maintain a focused and respectful environment for all users.
Likewise, assertions purely on the basis of personal opinion or incredulity that a public figure who comes out in support of disclosure, or that anyone who claims to be an experiencer, eyewitness or whistleblower, is merely a grifter, LARPer or hoaxer will be removed, as will any which accuse those who believe such individuals of propagating/being taken in by a cult.
