What its rules say about AI and bots
Dont rely on AI/ChatGPT
Any content copy/pasted from and/or heavily written by ChatGPT, and/or any other AI and large language model (Grok, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, etc) will be removed.
All 8 rules of r/AcademicQuran
- Be respectful
On this subreddit, you will encounter people from a variety of different perspectives, Muslims and non-Muslims. Respect this fact and treat each other with kindness, always being polite even if you strongly disagree with one another. Be aware that this includes no profanity, flaming, trolling, bullying, harassing, stalking or spamming. - All content must remain within the boundaries of academic Islamic studies
This sub focuses on the academic (not traditional) study of early Islam, and all content must remain in these boundaries. Discussion of current events, prayer requests and questions about personal belief and practice (why does God allow suffering, etc) are not permitted. Discussions/comments regarding sensitive topics (e.g. slavery, sexuality) must also remain strictly academic in nature. Ethical/moral debates or remarks are not permitted. - Back up claims with academic sources
Back up claims with at least one modern academic source. This is not the same as reiterating or citing reiterations of traditional sources of knowledge. While this is required of comments that engage with user posts, a user post is free to pose a question or share ideas for conversation without necessarily having to cite a source themselves. Your answer and source should be verifiable by other users. Translations must accompany non-English quotations. - Do not invoke beliefs or sources with a religious framing
Theological debates and discussions (e.g. whether the Qurʾān is divinely inspired, whether non-Muslims go to Jannah) are not allowed. We ask everyone to abide by Qurʾān 109:6, “to you your religion and to me my religion.” Use of sources which are framed in a religious or counter-religious perspective is not allowed, especially explicitly apologetic (eg IslamQA) or counter-apologetic (eg WikiIslam) material whose stated goal is to prove or disprove the truth of religious doctrines. - No low-effort posting. Answers should also be substantive and relevant.
Low-effort posting: can include dropping a link to a video and just asking: "Is this true?" Substantive answers: Answers should be more than one or two short sentences, unless they are pointing the questioner to another resource. Some degree of effort is expected when answering a question (and comments shouldn't be copy/pastes of ChatGPT). Relevant: Comments should not be off-topic with respect to the question they are posted under, and should try to provide an answer. - Dont rely on AI/ChatGPT
Any content copy/pasted from and/or heavily written by ChatGPT, and/or any other AI and large language model (Grok, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, etc) will be removed. - No Removal/Ban Evasion
If your comment and/or post has been removed, do not copy and immediately repaste it as a new comment/post. If you have been banned, do not circumvent it with a sock puppet account. Violations of this rule will immediately result in a temporary or permanent ban. - No Bad Faith Posting
All posts and comments must be made in good faith, with the intent to learn or discuss Islamic history, texts, and traditions academically. This means asking genuine questions and giving honest, evidence based answers in a respectful manner. Content meant to provoke, mock, misrepresent scholarship, polemicise or ambush users is not allowed. Loaded questions, selective quoting without context, and ignoring scholarly responses in order to restate the same claim may be removed.
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.
