  10. Keep low effort, off-topic, and simple question posts in the weekly thread.
    This subreddit is for makeup, not skincare, haircare, fashion, nails, or general beauty topics. While these areas are related and there is much overlap in their communities, we have opted for staying a makeup-centric space that prioritizes application technique and constructive criticism. Topics such as "how to be prettier," "rate me," color seasons, and so forth can be posted in our weekly thread or other subreddits. Face/eye shape and undertone identification requests must include a look.
  11. Moderators reserve the right to make decisions in the best interest of the sub.

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  • Unpublished minimums.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.
