What its rules say about promotion
Social Media and Blog Links Spam/Self Promo
Self-promotion is frowned upon on Reddit as a whole. For Blog/Web links please refer to reddiquette and be respectful to not spam the sub. If your blog post only shows one or two photos upload to Reddit for direct sharing. Users that only post links to their blog or website and do not have a history of participating in other /r/quilting posts will be banned at moderator discretion.
Sales/Self-Promotion posts or comments
Links to websites for direct sales (Etsy shops, Ebay, Personal Websites, IG Shop) should be posted in the bi-weekly "Steals, Deals and Destash" thread. Check the “Featured” flair for the latest post. Giveaways fall under this rule. Indirect sales posts or trying to circumvent this rule will result in a ban. New members or Redditors creating sales posts to spam the community will be banned. Use ads.reddit.com to purchase ads on Reddit for advertising.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Stolen Work and AI Generated Images
Reposting stolen content or AI Generated Images will result in a permanent ban**. This includes: posting a photo of quilts not your own yet claiming it is yours, posting about a quilt in any form you stole from someone else, or posting stolen patterns or tutorials. AI: We do not allow AI generated images in our sub and encourage you to use other ways to plot/plan quilts. AI Slop posts are strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban. AI created patterns will be called out as 💩
All 12 rules of r/quilting
- Reddiquette
Follow reddiquette and use your upvotes and downvotes accordingly. Report offensive, low-effort, or spammy posts so the moderators can review them. We expect all users to treat others with respect. Quilters requesting feedback should be treated kindly with useful suggestions and comments to improve their work. Calling a quilt "ugly", demeaning a fabric choice, or name calling anyone in our sub is prohibited and will result in a ban at the moderators discretion. - Linking Original Sources
If linking to inspiration you found on a site such a Pinterest, please link to the original source, not a "pin." Reddit auto deletes all posts and comments with pinterest links. We require posters to link or reference original sources if known. - Social Media and Blog Links Spam/Self Promo
Self-promotion is frowned upon on Reddit as a whole. For Blog/Web links please refer to reddiquette and be respectful to not spam the sub. If your blog post only shows one or two photos upload to Reddit for direct sharing. Users that only post links to their blog or website and do not have a history of participating in other /r/quilting posts will be banned at moderator discretion. - Sales/Self-Promotion posts or comments
Links to websites for direct sales (Etsy shops, Ebay, Personal Websites, IG Shop) should be posted in the bi-weekly "Steals, Deals and Destash" thread. Check the “Featured” flair for the latest post. Giveaways fall under this rule. Indirect sales posts or trying to circumvent this rule will result in a ban. New members or Redditors creating sales posts to spam the community will be banned. Use ads.reddit.com to purchase ads on Reddit for advertising. - Patterns under copyright
Sharing or PMing patterns with existing copyright protection is strictly prohibited. - Patterns purchased online or at quilt shops cannot be copied/shared with other users. Users found to be sharing patterns that are copywrite protected will be banned from the sub. Please support your patternmakers by recommending where others can purchase patterns you've enjoyed if asked. - Stolen Work and AI Generated Images
Reposting stolen content or AI Generated Images will result in a permanent ban**. This includes: posting a photo of quilts not your own yet claiming it is yours, posting about a quilt in any form you stole from someone else, or posting stolen patterns or tutorials. AI: We do not allow AI generated images in our sub and encourage you to use other ways to plot/plan quilts. AI Slop posts are strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban. AI created patterns will be called out as 💩 - Posted Projects should be quilting-related, or quilting-inspired
Stay on topic. In order to maintain our content focus on *quilting*, we don't allow crafting content that is NOT related to quilting-related things. If you post relevant non-quilt content (pillows, quilted clothing, quilted items that aren't quilts) please use the "Quilted Crafts" flair. If it doesn't involve quilting... it might belong on another subreddit. - Polls
Poll feature may be used for VOTING ON DESIGN OPTIONS ONLY. Low effort/karma farming discussion polls will be removed. Acceptable: which layout do you like? Please vote ABCD. Low effort: are you a pre-washer/starcher/machine vs hand quilter. Etc. - Homemade Apps/ Market Research/School Projects
Due to the number of requests we get from developers, researchers, product and software engineers we request you not use our sub for free market research and data collection. School projects/data collection for your college assignment are not permitted in our sub. If you’ve made an app for yourself, or quilter mom or grandma and it requires a login for us to use the post will be removed due to security concerns. Paid apps or software for quilters can go into our steals/deals biweekly thread. - Troll Posts or Comments, Baiting Arguments
Posts or comments trolling our community or its members will be removed at moderator discretion. This includes Redditors with no community karma or negative community karma, meaning you are not a positive participant in our community. Comments or posts baiting our community members into arguments will be removed. Abusers of this rule will be banned. - Gift Idea Megathread
This season we are asking all gift idea/request posts to go in our Megathread - please repost your request there. https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/comments/1omfc0e/holiday_gift_ideas_megathread/ - Appraisal requests
Questions regarding potential quilt value are not permitted here. We suggest reaching out to your local quilt appraiser to pay for an appraisal that can be used for insurance purposes. If you are a flipper looking to make $$ on your thrifted quilt we wish you the best of luck. Check sold listings on eBay for pricing information. https://paaqt.com/find-a-quilt-appraiser/
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.
