What this page is

Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/Sneakers'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.

All 10 rules of r/Sneakers
- Buying/Selling/Trading
Buying/selling/trading (or even asking about it) is **STRICTLY PROHIBITED**. There are other subreddits for that. - Fake/Replica shoes
NO FAKES. No asking about fakes, no posting fakes. Any comment or post that features or advocates for fake/replica shoes of any kind will be removed and the poster will be banned. - Bots, ATC services, backdoor links, etc.
No posts about bots, backdoor links, pre-order/add to cart services, jigs, etc. You will be banned without warning. What is and isn’t considered a backdoor link is at the discretion of the mods. - Reddiquette violation
Practice Reddiquette, meaning don't be overly hostile/antagonistic to other users. Repeatedly inimical users will be banned. - Racism/Sexism/Bigotry
Keep discussion related to sneakers. Racist/sexist/bigoted comments will be removed and the poster banned at the mod's discretion. - Low-effort post/Meme/Not related to sneakers
Memes and low-effort posts will be removed at the mods' discretion. If a picture doesn't feature sneakers as the main focal point, it may be removed. We do not allow pickup screenshots (wins or losses), legit checks, "what shoes should I get" posts or non-sneaker posts. Footprint ID posts must include clear, high resolution pictures. Posts in violation of these rules may result in a ban. - Impersonation
Don't pretend to be someone else. Give credit if it's not your picture. - Advertising/Self-Promotion
**No advertising of any kind. No YouTube/Twitter/blog spam.** /r/Sneakers doesn’t exist as a promotion tool in any way. Consult with the mods about promotional offers. We do not allow other sub cross promotions. - Personal Information
No posting personal information of any kind. This includes linking to social media accounts that aren't yours. - Customer Service Complaints
Posts detailing customer service issues where the online company has defrauded you are allowed. The person making the post must provide adequate proof of the story they post (ie multiple pictures of shoes purchased, screenshots of conversations you have had with reps from the company etc). In cases that seem suspect or proof is not provided we will remove the post and sticky our reasoning. The thread can be unlocked by adding more proof.
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.
