[Moderator Announcement) From now onward posts asking questions about life in different countries and territories will be prohibited.

As frequent visitors to this community are aware, countless posts asking users "what's life like in ___" have recently flooded the subreddit and many members have expressed deep concerns surrounding the fact that such posts should be allowed or not. The moderator team has had an exhaustive discussion regarding the legitimacy of these posts and have concluded that they will henceforth be automatically removed (through an AutoModerator filter) without warning since they fall under rule 6 regarding irrelevant/extraneous posts.

We recognize the entertainment and interest appeal surrounding these posts, but it is becoming increasingly clear that they are becoming excessive and hold no merit for us allowing them. They're quickly turning into a trend and some of them are intentionally satirized which is plainly low-effort content for no valuable discussion.

We're aware that users will have a difficult time adapting to this new rule, especially people who frequented such posts but we hope that people recognize the underlying reason for why this is being enacted and why it's extremely important.

If you have any advice or suggestions, feel free to comment them down below and we'll make sure to respond to them.
