What its rules say about promotion
Spam
We consider any link post spam if it is submitted by someone who is not active in our community. This is left up to moderator discretion, but a good rule of thumb is to keep link posts to less than 1 every 10 helpful comments you make on other posts. This also applies to comments which are obviously advertising, by the same specifications above.
Personal Information/Promotion
Do not post or ask for personal information about anyone, including yourself. This includes but is not limited to names, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, or other identifying information. Do not post links to your personal blog, website, or YouTube channel.
All 14 rules of r/BabyBumps
- Behavior
Treat everyone with respect. It is possible to get your point across and disagree without being rude. This means other bumpers, non-bumpers, and other websites. Do not call out others publicly. If you feel they are not who they say they are, or you have any other issue with them, message the moderators. Do not make posts trying to stir up trouble. If you know a post will be controversial, do not make it. Take it to another subreddit. - Spam
We consider any link post spam if it is submitted by someone who is not active in our community. This is left up to moderator discretion, but a good rule of thumb is to keep link posts to less than 1 every 10 helpful comments you make on other posts. This also applies to comments which are obviously advertising, by the same specifications above. - Soliciting/Asking for Donations
Do not solicit or ask for donations or funding of any kind. Use subreddits specific for this such as /r/Assistance. Do not post registry links either, under any circumstances. Not only is this overwhelmingly received as asking for donations, but posting your registry link reveals your full name and city. - Poll/Survey/AMA
Do not make AMA-type posts or posts which seek to poll the community for the purposes of market research or academic research without prior permission from the Mods. Permission will only be granted in compelling circumstances in which the research is novel and fresh. - No asking if pregnant or posting pregnancy tests
Do not ask if you or your partner are pregnant. We are not a pregnancy test or a paternity test. In the US, if you cannot afford a test, check your local Health Department to see if they offer them for free or low cost. Related: this is not the place to post pictures of your pregnancy tests. - Personal Information/Promotion
Do not post or ask for personal information about anyone, including yourself. This includes but is not limited to names, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, or other identifying information. Do not post links to your personal blog, website, or YouTube channel. - Circumcision-Specific Disrespect
Posts about circumcision are not allowed, but sometimes it can come up in the comments when relevant. Failure to remain civil during discussion of circumcision will result in a permanent ban. - Bump, Ultrasound, Announcement Pics
Bump, ultrasound, and announcement pics (including positive pregnancy tests) go in the daily bump thread only. Mods have discretion for what counts here. Bump pics are photos that contain your pregnant belly: with a cat, with a husband, with a snack, in a tub, taken in a mirror, taken by a professional, etc. Baby shower pics may contain your belly if it's not the main album focus. Do not ever post pictures of your bodily fluids. Ever. So gross. - Asking/Offering Medical Advice
Do not ask for medical advice/opinions. BabyBumps users and moderators are not medical professionals. Responses do not replace contacting your medical provider. You should always call your provider with any concerns and to interpret and test results, including HCG tests. If you are not a doctor you are in no position to offer medical advice. If you are a doctor, you'd know better than to offer medical advice here. Giving poor medical advice is often more dangerous than giving no advice at all. - No Vaccine Posts, Exposure Related Posts
If you are interested in learning more about vaccinations, or have been exposed to a virus- please consult a medical professional. - Don't ask people to share their stories.
Members of this community spend a lot of time sharing their stories so they can share their experiences with others. Please search this sub's history for those stories first. - No PMs to mods
Modmail only. Do not send private messages or chat requests to the moderators regarding subreddit issues. Please use modmail feature if you have any concerns, comments or complaints. - No Misinformation or Fake News
This is not the place to spread conspiracy theories or misinformation. - Complete List of Rules

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
