What this page is
This page quotes r/calculus's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-07. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/calculus's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.
Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

What its rules say about promotion
Self-promotion
Users are permitted to make posts and comments linking their own content provided the content is relevant to /r/calculus, and is **not in violation of [Reddit's site-wide policy](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion)** on self-promotion. Each user will be permitted **one** self-promotion post each month, with the expectation that they will contribute to other threads. Self-promotion should also not constitute more than one tenth of a user's comments. Abuse will result in a ban.
All 10 rules of r/calculus
- Requests for homework help require genuine attempt at solving problem or active participation.
In order to post your question for assistance, you need to have legitimately attempted the problem before soliciting advice. This is not a subreddit for obtaining free answers. Attempts at working the problem include posting all work you have done (not just answers) and actively participating in the thread to devise a solution. Posts asking for a problem to be worked out or for a procedure to be provided for you will be subject to removal. Leeway may be given for some **difficult** problems. - Requests for homework help require complete problem statement posted.
It’s not always enough for us to look at your work and see if there are any computational mistakes. We have to know exactly what problem you are trying to solve. If you ended up solving the *wrong* problem *correctly*, we won’t know this without the complete problem statement. - Do not do someone else’s homework problem for them.
While a student might appreciate the short-term gain of someone else doing their homework for them, please do not do their problem for them, or simply dictate a procedure to follow. Instead, please consider doing the following: * Ask probing questions. * Provide suggestions and hints. * Provide feedback on work they have done. * Be open to any ideas OPs provide that may lead to a correct answer, even if they differ from their own. - Do not ask for help on quizzes or exams.
We take academic dishonesty seriously here. Questions on **graded** quizzes and exams will be permitted. - Set flair on your posts.
Please select the appropriate flair for your post. For questions on homework, quiz, review, test problem, or a **specific concept**, please use Homework Support flair. **Do not** choose “General question” for homework help. ***DO NOT*** choose “Homework Support/Miscellaneous” by default. [Read this](https://www.reddit.com/r/calculus/comments/cx5kue/looking_for_homework_help_please_use_homework/) for information on how to ***PROPERLY*** choose flair. - No offers of payment or tutoring-for-hire.
- Do not request for help to be given through private messages/chat.
Soliciting for help in DMs not permitted. Help should be given in the post for the benefit of other redditors who browse /r/calculus. - Responses to homework help must be appropriate to poster’s level of understanding.
Any help or instruction offered to posters asking for homework help should be targeted towards what the poster understands. This rule especially includes (but is not limited to) not suggesting l’Hôpital’s Rule to Calc 1 students who are learning about limits but have not yet learned about derivatives. - Self-promotion
Users are permitted to make posts and comments linking their own content provided the content is relevant to /r/calculus, and is **not in violation of [Reddit's site-wide policy](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion)** on self-promotion. Each user will be permitted **one** self-promotion post each month, with the expectation that they will contribute to other threads. Self-promotion should also not constitute more than one tenth of a user's comments. Abuse will result in a ban. - Mathematically incorrect information
While it is permitted to suggest ideas that may ultimately be a dead end, please keep your comments mathematically correct. E.g., do not suggest Mean Value Theorem in a case where the given function is not differentiable.
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.
