Posts asking for Japan's opinion on popular subjects or posts appealing directly to the sub as if we represent Japan will be removed. Posts with no relation to Japan, posts not written in English, posts with vague/clickbait titles, spam (including affiliate links, Discord links, people trying to boost their YouTube subscriptions etc), and posts intended for personal gain (including crowdfunding links) will be removed. This especially applies to travel photos/questions and language/translation questions.

In general, threads which should be posted in a more relevant subreddit (see list above) will be removed. If you have a simple question, your first stop should be Google, not here. Repeat/egregious offenders will be banned. Low-effort posts (trolls, treating the sub like Google etc) will be deleted. Reposts & multiple threads on the same topic, especially current events, will be deleted. If you have a question that doesn't go in the basic questions thread, 80% of the time it will get a better response somewhere else.
