A subreddit to discuss the art of Soap Making. Melt-and-pour soap, cold process soap, and hot process soap are all welcome.
What its rules say about promotion
No 'zero effort' posts
Posts must demonstrate a minimum level of effort and research. Vague or overly broad questions, such as “How do I make soap?” or “How do I start selling soap?” will be removed. Members are here to assist, not to conduct research for you. Our resources list is a good place to start: [Learn about Soapmaking](https://www.reddit.com/r/soapmaking/comments/1mnjsu5/soapmaking_resources_list/)
No Self-Promotion or Spam
No self-promotion or spam. Links to personal or professional social media accounts, online stores, or other promotional content such as soap stamps or boxes with a company name on them or their label will be removed. This subreddit is for learning and sharing soapmaking creations, not marketing purposes. If someone expresses interest in your soaps in the comments, you may send them a private message with purchase details.
Classified Ads
Ads by individuals to sell, trade, or buy excess soapmaking supplies and equipment are allowed. Items must be relevant to soapmaking. Include prices for all items to be sold; “make an offer” is not permitted. Discuss transactions by private messaging. Delete ads once items are sold. Transactions are at your own risk, and the subreddit is not responsible for outcomes. Moderators may remove ads at their discretion. All ads must comply with subreddit rules.
What its rules say about AI and bots

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
