What this page is

This page quotes r/csharp's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-06. 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/csharp'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.

its rules on Reddit

All about the object-oriented programming language C#.

What its rules say about promotion

No spam of tools/companies/ads
Posting of development tools and libraries are generally allowed. But if the post is basically an advertisement-disguised-as-a-blog, or the post is designed to promote your own product or company, the post will likely be removed. The basic litmus test asks is the post fundamentally made to sell something you're affiliated with, or is it made to benefit the subscribers of /r/csharp? In addition, use of affiliate links or referral URLs in submissions is also prohibited.

What its rules say about AI and bots

No low-effort, poor quality, largely AI-generated submissions or projects
Blogs, tutorials, videos, projects, etc, must be of passable quality, effort, and not largely AI-generated. Code snippets indented, writing clear and easy to follow, free of plagiarism, relatively current, no paywalls, and sufficient content to be worthwhile. Submissions, post text, or projects that are largely AI-generated may be removed. For clarity, AI assistance and tooling is permitted, but not projects that are predominantly written by AI with disproportionately minimal human effort.

No unattributed use or automated use of AI Generation Tools for comments
While the use of AI generation tools is not prohibited, when using them you must acknowledge that the code or description or content is AI generated. This empowers readers to scrutinize the result as it may be confidently incorrect, omit critical information, or be out-of-date. It also treads on plagiarism concerns. AI content should not be automatically posted via bots as it should be manually reviewed before posting. Such bots and posts may be removed as spam.

All 8 rules of r/csharp

No job postings (For Hire or Hiring)
While job postings are generally not permitted, there are regular monthly "Job Fair" sticky posts where we encourage job postings or people looking for jobs to comment in.
No malicious, intentionally harmful, or piracy-related software
This includes downloads, tools, help, discussions, or anything related to creation, use, or distribution of malicious, piracy-related software, or software designed to violate a service's terms of use or equivalent policies, or the distribution of pirated material. This also includes posting links to pre-compiled binaries or executables of your code as they cannot be validated or trusted to be non-malicious.
Posts should be directly relevant to C#
Request-for-help posts should be made with effort
Make sure any code is properly formatted, explain what you have tried, and where applicable try to create a [Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). Be clear and courteous. If a question that could have been easily Googled is asked without indicating what and why those typical results didn't work, it will be removed. Help posts that have had little effort put into them will be removed at the discretion of the moderators.
No hostility towards users for any reason
Everyone was novice at some point. Always be courteous in your interactions with others. Just because you feel someone is incorrect/misinformed/misguided does not permit you to be an ass. Being unnecessarily cantankerous or derailing discussions may warrant removal. This rule reaffirms the Reddit site-wide rule of practicing basic Reddiquette. Snidely telling people to use Google, LMGTFY, or AI tools may be removed. Insulting or mocking people for using AI tools may also be removed.
No spam of tools/companies/ads
Posting of development tools and libraries are generally allowed. But if the post is basically an advertisement-disguised-as-a-blog, or the post is designed to promote your own product or company, the post will likely be removed. The basic litmus test asks is the post fundamentally made to sell something you're affiliated with, or is it made to benefit the subscribers of /r/csharp? In addition, use of affiliate links or referral URLs in submissions is also prohibited.

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.
