All 10 rules of r/fitness30plus
- Start here.
If you're new to the sub or fitness in general and are looking for guidance or to participate then we ask that you first read the subreddit rules and give the fitness wiki a read. You are expected to read and follow the rules in here. https://thefitness.wiki/guided-tour/ https://www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/wiki/rules/ - Be Respectful and Civil
r/Fitness30plus is a place to discuss and learn about fitness in a civil manner. We are all here to get fit together. Posters are expected to remember that they are interacting with people they don't know, in a public community, and not in private with their circle of friends. If you wouldn't say it to someone you've just met, your grandma, or your boss, don't say it here. Phrased another way, this rule could be "Be excellent to each other", or "Don't be a dick". - Progress Posts Must Be Detailed and Useful
PROGRESS POST REQUIREMENTS: Height, Age, Sex Starting & Ending Weight Diet & Lifting Routine Time Period Elapsed The thread should be informative and useful for those that are reading it. You don't have to write a novel but the more information and details you can provide the better. Threads with all the info crammed into the title will be removed. https://www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/wiki/rules#wiki_rule_.234_-_progress_posts_must_be_detailed_and_useful - No Medical Advice
If you're sick, hurt, disabled, or injured the internet is not the place to go. You should instead find a professional with proper education and experience who can examine and treat you in person, and whom you will be able to hold legally responsible for further injury. https://www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/wiki/rules#wiki_rule_.235_-_no_medical_advice - Moderators have the final word
The final decision of what to take action on always rests with the moderation team. The mods WILL delete any post or comment we feel is not a good fit, regardless of any sidebar or FAQ statements. A post doesn't have to violate a rule to suck, sometimes people get creative. The mods WILL ban people who are more trouble than they're worth, regardless of any sidebar or FAQ statements. A user doesn't have to violate a rule to suck, sometimes people get creative. - No self promotion
Reddit has a built in system for advertising if you want use Reddit as a platform to drive traffic to your website, blog, social media, products, services, surveys, apps or anything else. Do not link them here. You will be banned. - No Debbie Downers
Comments that are dismissive or overly negative about others’ accomplishments, goals, or methods are discouraged in here.This is a supportive community. If your only response from seeing a heavy deadlift is fear and criticism, this might not be the best place for you. We do not question your good intentions, and we do appreciate your concern, but from now on please remember the rules before commenting. - General Dumbfuckery
Sometimes descriptions don't cut it - Natty/Sumo/Arch policing
None of that in here. You can ask (politely/civilly) but attacking/arguing/negging/accusing a user will get you removed from the sub. - No routine critiques
No routine critiques allowed in the sub. It is strongly advised to run a premade routine that has been made by a professional. Why? Because they have been tried countless times and are proven to work. You should avoid trying to create your own routine and it will almost always lead to issues down the road. You can grab a recommended program from the fitness wiki. https://thefitness.wiki/guided-tour/
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.
