Can we ban pictures of someone’s personal life update? This is how r/pics turned into a facebook feed.

Do you have an example? Im having a tough time imaging what kind of picture that would be.

Just by taking a quick look

This is top of all time

Don’t get me wrong, they’re awesome life updates, but the sub in question wasn’t intended for that.

Is vegeta prince of all saiyans considered a politician?

I had to look up who that was, I thought it was DBZ but wasn’t sure. It does appear that he is the deposed leader of the fallen Saiyan race which would qualify him, sorry :(

NocturnalMorning ,

Dang it. Sad day for saiyans everywhere.

CrimeDad ,

I just realized that a distinction wasn’t made between current and former politicians. Once a politician always a politician?

Everything is amendable with what the community wants. For me, Jimmy Carter will always be a politician even if the image is of him doing Habitat for Humanity, Boris Johnson will always be a politician even if he is ice skating. Same with trump, putin, Zelensky, Trudeau, Thatcher, etc.

What about Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California?! 🙀

I’d propose that Arnie the actor is allowed, but pictures of him in office aren’t, please!

That’s a tough one, to me Arnold will always be an actor, but I also never lived in Cali.

Ronald Reagan?

Of course he is, why else would they need to bring in this rule?

You know that’s going to result in a bunch of shopped “sexy Trump” etc photos …

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe ,

You don’t want a whole community dedicated yo sexy photoshops of aging politicians?
