This is r/lebowski, not 'Nam, READ before Posting
Posted by SmoovyJ@reddit | lebowski | View on Reddit | 313 comments
We Maudes went ahead and added a few more r/lebowski rules (full rules at bottom of post and in the sidebar):
- No screenshots of text messages with scammers (we have beaten these into the ground and most of them aren’t funny)
- No Politics (unless directly referenced in the movie)
- Updated the “Looks like a vagina” rule to include “Looks like a Johnson”
We also wanted to give you newcomers a little history lesson as to why these rules exist, and in English too, so you can die with a smile on your face.
Way back in 2010 there was a sub I wanna tell you about, a sub by the name of r/lebowski.
When this here sub was created, before some of you little urban achievers had even seen the movie, it was a quiet little family restaurant, where folks could trade Lebowski quotes and take comfort that low-effort, unfunny posts would be downvoted right off their page.
But times have changed.
Today we have over 120,000 subscribers
To wrap your head around that, consider the following:
- The sub has doubled in just the last 2 years
- It’s in the top 2% of all subs on reddit
- It’s one of the largest single-movie fan subreddits
Now, as anyone who’s ever subscribed to a hugely popular subreddit knows, they become magnets for karma-farmers.
Karma-farmers have zero interest in adding to a community. They are only looking for upvotes, by any means necessary. And what gets the most amount of upvotes on a massive subreddit? Lazy, circlejerk posts that most people have seen a million times.
Eventually, people get sick of these lazy, unfunny karma-farmers flooding their feed, and they unsubscribe. Most of these mega-subs don’t care, because they get recommended to new users, so the number of folks joining exceeds the folks who are never coming back.
Those subs aren’t family restaurants - they’re shitty tourist traps.
We are NOT gonna go down this way, Dudes.
r/lebowski will be for stuff directly related to the movie: A question about the plot. Your favorite scene or character. An interview with a cast member or a director. A stoned revelation you had about the movie. New shit that’s come to light.
And in order to keep the sub focused on the movie, we Maudes have updated the rules as follows:
- No spam (includes T-shirt links)
- No AI posts or karma bots
- No “This looks like a Vagina” or “Johnson” posts
- No screenshots of text messages with scammers
- Posts must be relevant to the Big Lebowski Movie
- Maudes have the discretion to remove low effort posts as they see fit
- No Politics (unless directly mentioned in the movie)
- No Facebook/Twitter posts
- Report fascists
T-shirt spammers (and their conspiring commenters asking “cool, where can I buy one?”) earn a perma-ban.
Other rule violations get a 3-day ban for first infraction, second infraction…Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
Finally, when your post gets taken down, calling us Maudes fascists and whining that you saw a post just like yours not taken down isn’t going to help your cause.
There are hundreds of low-effort posts coming in each week, and unless you and Gilbert submit them to the league (report them) we can’t set aside (remove) the post.
So please DEAR, do your part to keep this a nice family restaurant.
Take it easy, Dudes. Catch ya further on down the trail.
S-H-A-W-N83@reddit
Political bullshit has plagued this sub for along time. Thanks mods
JWThomason@reddit
I’m down with all the rules except the no politics. The dude was very political and considering we have a human paraquat in the White House, I think the topic should be able to be discussed in ways that extend beyond just the lines of the movie. But of course that’s just like my opinion, man 😅

This is, uh, u/SmoovyJ with the r/lebowski league, and I just got a, an informal report, that as members of this sub you insist on karma farming during thread play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the sub’s by-laws, and article 27 of the community guidelines…

punkypal@reddit
With the mauds don’t seem to be understanding. about what they call “low effort posts” is that most of those have many high effort comments. Sure, sometimes the original post only has the smallest connection to the movie, but when you read the comments, they are lots of fun. Every single time I see quite a few very creative uses of quotes to respond. Especially when someone pulls a quote from a scene that’s different then what the original post is connected to, but they still make it fit. I love the creative rewordings or puns that sometimes get worked in.
My joy and I’m sure many other people get from this subreddit is all these clever quotes. And trying to think of a very clever response. The less people can post silly things so we can have these comment games of dropping quotes the less fun the subreddit is.
I mean since I’ve joined here I’ve rewatch the movie a couple of times and even read the script to try to get by “quote skills better. I don’t think there’s anything low effort about that. And I’m sure there’s a lot who have done the same.
So please don’t be so hard on “low effort” posts. If they’re getting hundreds of smart and funny comments and it’s keeping the community, highly engaged and entertained, it shouldn’t be a problem.
EarlessBanana@reddit
I agree wholeheartedly. I've noticed a lot being removed lately that doesn't clearly break any of these rules, such as the post which questioned whether The Dude putting on his shades when he was done with a conversation could be a neurodivergent-like coping mechanism.
It was a bit of a stretch, and as someone with ND friends and family I'm a bit tired of folks suggesting random behaviours are autistic. But the post seemed well-intentioned and was more than just a drive-by. What's more, as you stated, some of the comments were quality stuff (for the ecosystem).
There's always going to be some room for interpretation here. But this is a joke sub. The 50% of comments that aren't creative are people posting "yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man...", "that's fucking interesting" and "well Dude, we just don't know" over and over. Are these going to be banned too?
I'm grateful for the moderators' work and grateful for the crackdown on vagina and scammer posts that were rarely funny anymore. But "low effort" seems pretty arbitrary.
SmoovyJ@reddit (OP)
Are you sure the person didn't delete it themselves?
I can tell you right now that is not something I would have removed. Whether they are already disproven fan theories, or takes that I find ridiculous (like the one you mentioned), if someone spent a few minutes putting together a theory that's related to the movie, I don't touch it and let the conversation flow
EarlessBanana@reddit
All good, but yeah: https://www.reddit.com/r/lebowski/comments/1n23s26/could_the_dude_have_mild_autism/
I appreciate the reply!
SmoovyJ@reddit (OP)
Never saw it. I personally would have just let the downvotes do their job (which you'll notice happened), but honestly, do you think that was Much more than a drive by?
It's one sentence. And any person who gave it more than 10 seconds thought would point to the Dude being stoned and anti-establishment guiding his behavior more than being on the spectrum.
I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Most well-thought out posts directly related to the movie stays up and gets engagement.
EarlessBanana@reddit
Unfortunately I can't see the content or downvotes of the post anymore, I guess only mods can once it's been removed.
But I don't think low-effort is always the antithesis of well-thought-out. I don't think there's any evidence for The Dude being autistic, but I don't really have a problem with the question, and it did indeed inspire a little conversation. What if an autistic person thought they saw some of those traits in a character and wanted to discuss them? It's no less interesting than the umpteenth "was Donny real" or "was Walter really in Vietnam" post to anyone who's been a member of the community for a while.
But even if it was only one sentence, it still presented at least two ideas that could provoke discussion. The obvious and general one, was The Dude neurodivergent? And more specifically, did his use of his sunglasses demonstrate this?
What's on the front page now? A picture of the cashier, asking what she thought of The Dude without any additional commentary. I think that's a completely valid and amusing post (based on the history of this sub), but it's in no way "high effort". Neither is the one with a seemingly random dog being on a Time Person of the Year cover. (I presume this is in reference to a meme I'm unfamiliar with.) Or a photo of a sign from a Marmot exhibit titled "Nice Marmot" with zero commentary. Again, I don't think it should be removed, but where's the effort there?
What about the monthly "Dude, tomorrow's already the tenth" post? It's a sub tradition and it always makes me giggle, but there's absolutely no effort there.
Another one that got removed was the one about a JapanEat Youtube short quoting the movie. Yeah, in itself a single Lebowski quote isn't too interesting. But JapanEat is a charming creator who has sneaked Lebowski quotes into multiple videos. I don't see an issue with Lebowski fans sharing the content of other Lebowski fans.
So it just seems extremely arbitrary. But you already stated you wouldn't have removed the autism one, which I appreciate. As I appreciate your work moderating the sub.

I was really down in the dumps, seeing my memes removed, being called low efforts, but fuck it, man! I can be worried about that shit! Life goes on.

And that's r/lebowski, in Los Angeles. And even if it’s a lazy sub - and r/lebowski was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place it high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there's a sub, sometimes, there's a sub. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.

What the fuck are you talking about, the fascists are not the issue here Dude! We’re talking about drawing a line in the sand! Across this line you DO NOT… Also Dude, fascist is not the preferred nomenclature, Lazy, Unfunny Karma-farming Feed Flooders. Please.
Impressive-Dig-3892@reddit
Karma farmers? Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of moderating, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Wandering subreddit job. Maudes thought we should show them the rules and make them homesick for the old days.

sorotomotor@reddit
T-shirt spammers (and their conspiring commenters asking “cool, where can I buy one?”) earn a perma-ban. Other rule violations get a 3-day ban for first infraction, second infraction…Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
So like I say, just thought, you know, fair warning. Tell Walter. I'm sorry.
