Guidelines are there to protect us from morons and the emotionally unstable.
Man at an Empoyment Service interview desk: I'd really shaft this guy, because I have an attitude problem about his sort, but unfortunately I must follow the guidelines laid down, for idiots like me.

Content Guidelines

Urban Dictionary's Guidelines:

Write for a large audience. New definitions are approved by the Urban Dictionary community, so use words, names, and examples that other people will understand and recognize.

Share definitions that are real and relevant. Inside jokes and made-up words are likely to be rejected. Share things that you’ve heard elsewhere or you regularly use in conversation.

Don't post personal information. Keep personal information like addresses, emails, and phone numbers out of Urban Dictionary. Do not include the last names of non-celebrities.

Don’t post hate speech. We have a zero tolerance policy for definitions that include hate speech, bullying, or statements meant to discriminate or incite violence against others.

Ask yourself: “Will I still want this published on the internet tomorrow?” We know that many definitions are added by friends and in the spur of the moment. Sure, the internet moves fast, but make sure you’re adding something that feels true and important enough to share publicly and document forever.
Man, did I get busted for violating Urban Dictionary's Content Guidelines yesterday! So sick!

Urban Dictionary’s Content Guidelines 

Rules no one fucking cares about
someone: i made a definition for your name on Urban Dictionary
person 2: isn’t that against Urban Dictionary’s Content Guidelines?
person 1: who fucking follows those

Urban Dictionary Content Guidelines 

The least enforced rules in the history of rules.
According to Urban Dictionary Content Guidelines, hate speech is not allowed. That's a lie.

If hate speech isn't allowed, then why is every definition of Donald Trump nothing more than just saying that he's a POS, and not actually meaningfully describing him?
