The title of any picture or video posts must include details on the location of the hike. The body of the post must also include a brief description of your hike Example: Title: Summit of Half-Dome, Yosemite National Park, California, USA Body: Took a long awaited hike along the Half-Dome trail and climbed the many vertical steps! Please see this [POST](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiking/comments/1eu1igg/rule_2_the_title_rule_or_why_your_photo_post_got/) - Any type of Promotional content is not allowed

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
