What this page is
This page quotes r/golang'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/golang's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about AI and bots
Be constructive.
Avoid derailing: stay on topic; if you want to talk about something else, start a new conversation. Avoid unconstructive criticism: don't merely decry the current state of affairs; offer - or at least solicit - suggestions as to how things may be improved. Avoid snarking (pithy, unproductive, sniping comments) Avoid discussing potentially offensive or sensitive issues; this all too often leads to unnecessary conflict. Avoid microaggressions Do not post "Ask an AI"
AI Policy

All 12 rules of r/golang
- Be friendly and welcoming.
Post is not in keeping with an inclusive and friendly technical atmosphere. - Be patient.
Remember that people have varying communication styles and that not everyone is using their native language. (Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.) - Be thoughtful.
Productive communication requires effort. Think about how your words will be interpreted. Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain entirely from commenting. Check for your answer in the [subreddit FAQs](https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/wiki/r_golang_faqs/) and the [Tour of Go](https://go.dev/tour/welcome/1) before posting common questions, please. - Be respectful.
In particular, respect differences of opinion. Do not include "engagement hooks", like exhortations to subscribe to some channel or redundantly asking what others think. - Be charitable.
Interpret the arguments of others in good faith, do not seek to disagree. When we do disagree, try to understand why. - Be constructive.

What you say and do matters. Take responsibility for your words and actions, including their consequences, whether intended or otherwise. - Follow the Go Code of Conduct
As a part of the Go community, this subreddit and those who post on it should follow the tenets laid out in the Go Code of Conduct: https://golang.org/conduct Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Be thoughtful in how you communicate. Don’t be destructive or inflammatory. - Must be Go Related
Posts must be of interest to Go developers and related to the Go language. This includes: - Articles about the language itself - Announcements & articles about open source Go libraries or applications - Dev tools (open source or not) specifically targeted at Go developers We ask that you not post about closed-source / paid software that is not specifically aimed at Go developers in particular (as opposed to all developers), even if it is written in Go. - Do Not Post Pirated Material
Do not post links to or instructions on how to get pirated copies of copyrighted material. - Job Listings Go in the Who's Hiring? Post
We have a monthly "Who's Hiring?" post that will stay pinned to the top of the subreddit. To avoid too much noise from companies, please post job openings there. Please keep in mind, this is for 1st party postings only. No 3rd party recruiters. - AI Policy
No GPT or other AI-generated content is allowed as posts, post targets, or comments. This is only for the content itself; posts about GPT or AI related to Go are fine.

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.
