Can you post your project here?

This subreddit is for sharing embarrassing photos from your past that are at least 3 years old. Posts require a creative title and the subject must primarily be you. Follow-up 'now' pictures should be posted as comments, not separate posts.

Before you post: No rules explicitly mention self-promotion or sharing side projects. The subreddit's focus is strictly on personal 'blunder years' photos.

The rules, in their words

1. True blunders only: Simply being nerdy just isn’t going to cut it. If you wore your “nerd glasses because you thought you were so hipster,” that’s not enough of a blunder. Halloween costumes do not count!
2. You must have a creative title.: No "Puberty has been good to me." or "LOL I was random!" type titles. This is rule is entirely decided by the mods' discretion.
3. Your blunder must have been at least 3 years ago: No "still blundering"
4. The subject should be of you: Don't post a picture of yourself as a child just because you're dressed as a child, playing with your Furby, in a sandbox, etc. This isn't #ThrowbackThursday. If it's an actually embarrassing childhood photo though, then fantastic! It's okay if other children just so happen to be in the photo, as long as you're the main subject, and the main reason for the blunder.
5. 'Now' pictures are great but not required.: Please post your updated picture as a comment on the original post. Separate posts that share an updated picture will be removed. If the OP hasn't provided a "now" picture, it’s okay to request one, but don't push it: not everyone wants their current photo on Reddit. Do not go through the OPs post history and post one for them either.
6. Ask permission: Especially if someone else is the subject of the photo. This isn’t the place to get your blackmail on.
7. Be thoughtful when replying: We have absolutely zero tolerance for: Blatant insults, racism, homo/transphobia, trolling, threats, or “you’re still blundering”-type comments. Comments containing some specific words or subreddits are automatically filtered out. [Banned Words List](https://www.reddit.com/r/blunderyears/wiki/banned_words) Please report comments that violate this rule. Violations of this rule can and will result in an immediate ban!
8. No posting personal information: This includes for yourself or other people, and refers to, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, email addresses, facebook or other social media accounts.
9. Report content that breaks the rules: We can't keep an eye on every single post and comment in the subreddit 24/7. Don't hesitate to contact the moderators for any reason.
10. All posts are subject to removal without notice at the moderators' discretion.: We strive to keep the quality of the posts at a high level and if your post does not catch on then it probably does not belong here in the first place.
11. No gatekeeping comments: Please do not make comments regarding gatekeeping of any kind. Examples include but are not limited to: "No blunder here", "Read the rules this is not a blunder". The first offense will result in a one day ban as a warning and a second offense will result in a permanent ban.
