- its rules on Reddit
r/travel is a community about exploring the world. Your pictures, questions, stories, or any good content is welcome. Please read the rules, pinned announcements and the wiki/FAQ before posting. Failure to do so may result in a removal or ban. Given the high volume of posts, there are no warnings given out. If you've never contributed positively to this subreddit (or travel-adjacent subreddits) before being banned, your chance of a successful appeal to any ban is nearly zero. Happy travels!
What its rules say about promotion
No clickbait, blogspam, self-promotion, personal requests, trading, selling, or begging,
Clickbait, spam, memes/jokes, ads, brochures, surveys, market research (even for free sites/apps), side projects, vlogs, blogs, FB/IGs, tiktoks, AMAs, requesting DMs or meetups, or other [self-promotion](http://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) and social media will be removed and banned, including any disguised as genuine discussion. Everyday news articles or announcements are not accepted. No hashtags, diary entries/essays, missed connections, selling, bartering, trading, or begging.
No spam
While simple posts or links to gear or sites does not necessarily constitute advertising, avoid posting just for promotional or marketing purposes. Instagram style submissions with hashtags will be removed. Posts that are solely complaints/rants from accounts that have no prior engagement will not be approved in order to prevent the sub from being mainly for complaints, especially those that may be inaccurate.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Absolutely no AI
ChatGPT and AI usage is strictly against the rules. This includes: posting AI content, referencing or citing AI sources, or suggesting the use of AI. The sub is designed for discussion, advice and experiences from actual humans. This includes posting a rewritten or proofread version done by AI, asking the community to review or validate your AI-generated itinerary. There is no distinction between AI-generated fiction and real events rewritten by AI - hence the blanket ban.

ChatGPT and AI usage is strictly against the rules. This includes: posting AI content, referencing or citing AI sources, or suggesting the use of AI.

There is no distinction between AI-generated fiction and real events rewritten by AI - hence the blanket ban. - No low effort posts
Questions should include the research already conducted - please read the [/r/travel wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/wiki/index). If you are asking for itinerary, airfare, price, routing help - **you must present at least two options.** No Crystal Ball 🔮 - no questions about predictions - flight price changes, carry-on checks, weather forecasts, changes in safety and security of destinations, etc. We are not your travel agents. - No racism, trolling, bad conduct or politics
Keep it civil: no racism, insults, flagrant disrespect to places/countries, or stereotyping. No bad conduct, illegal activity, or how to break the rules. Extended (political or off-topic) arguments will result in a ban for everyone involved. Do not insert yourself into an off-topic argument even if you feel you are on the "moral" side. Absolutely no politics allowed. We will [strictly apply the linked guidelines political posts and comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/wiki/politics/). - No spam

Posts that are solely complaints/rants from accounts that have no prior engagement will not be approved in order to prevent the sub from being mainly for complaints, especially those that may be inaccurate.
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.
