What this page is
This page quotes r/ChatGPT's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-09-26. 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/ChatGPT'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 Advertising
Posts must be directly related to ChatGPT or the topic of AI. They may not be solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service (these posts should directly go to weekly self-promotional mega thread, which is pinned)
AI Art
1. Quality over Quantity: AI art submissions are allowed only if they showcase something very unique or unusual. Generic memes, low-effort images and karma farming posts will be removed. 2. Encourage Tech Discussion: Posts that include insights, techniques, or thought-provoking commentary about the AI process or technology behind the art are highly encouraged. 3. Mod Discretion: Mods reserve the right to remove posts that do not meet the above criteria.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No Trashposts
Posts deemed to be entirely without value or effort may be removed if they have not generated interesting discussions before their discovery. Anyone sharing disturbing content will be banned. Users are encouraged to report posts they feel are of significantly low effort. Specifically mentioning that “Is ChatGPT down?” posts will be removed; the stickied FAQ deals with that.

Political Discussion
Having ChatGPT create political content is completely fine. Discussion of the politics around AI and LLMs is allowed. Broader political arguments that are not meaningfully connected to AI may be removed.

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.
