All comments and interactions should embody the spirit of "deciding to be better." This means no name-calling, insults, arguing, trolling, hate speech, bigotry (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc) or otherwise disrespectful comments. Comments of this nature will be removed, and in some cases, users may receive a permanent ban.

Please proceed to r/vent, r/rant, or r/offmychest for such posts. - If you are considering suicide, please visit r/suicidewatch and contact your local suicide helplines or a professional for support. For mental health suport, visit r/mentalhealth. - No seeking/offering medical advice or diagnosis
- We are not medical professionals. Please consult a doctor for medical advice or diagnosis. - Any comments attempting to "armchair diagnose" will also be removed to avoid spreading misinformation. - No drug/medication advice
Comments advising or encouraging others to try drugs or other medication as a solution to their problems (even if legal in some countries) will be removed. We cannot know the medical history of others, and not everyone will have the same reaction as you did. Additionally, drugs may be illegal in some countries. Do NOT offer or ask for advice or tips on how to obtain drugs. - Requests for services, goods, or assistance are not permitted
Fundraising posts or requests for financial or non-financial assistance are not allowed. Posts seeking services are also not allowed. Please proceed to r/assistance or r/gofundme for such topics. - NO political debates or discussions
Any posts regarding politics will 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- Unpublished minimums.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.
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.
