What its rules say about AI and bots

No Low-Quality Content or Unsubstantiated Advice
This includes obviously AI-generated comments and posts as well as low-effort, yet verbose posts related to your "agency journey" or pseudo-inspirational agency stories without proper agency verification. Please read the r/agency subreddit Wiki on how to become a verified agency under the "User Flairs" section.
All 10 rules of r/agency
  1. Follow Reddit Rules
    No spam. https://redditinc.com/policies/reddit-rules https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043504051-What-constitutes-spam-Am-I-a-spammer http://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion
  2. Be Professional
    Don't be rude or vulgar. Please use Reddiquette. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette
  3. Limit Posts to One Topic
    Keep posts to one topic. This makes it easier for the community to read, respond, and search for topics related to their own questions. Simpler posts receive higher engagement from the community and answers become more thorough.
  4. No Hiring or Job Posts w/o Approval
    No posts related to hiring, looking for contractors, or white-label agencies and freelancers are allowed without moderator approval.
  5. No Low-Quality Content or Unsubstantiated Advice
    This includes obviously AI-generated comments and posts as well as low-effort, yet verbose posts related to your "agency journey" or pseudo-inspirational agency stories without proper agency verification. Please read the r/agency subreddit Wiki on how to become a verified agency under the "User Flairs" section.
  6. No Unsolicited DMs or Asking for DMs
    Do not DM or private message anyone in this subreddit attempting to sell your services, products, software, or acquire leads. This is grounds for immediate banning. Additionally, posts and comments that ask people to DM you are also against the rules.
  7. Use the Search Bar Before Posting
    Add content, don't repeat it. If you have a question, use the search feature to see if the question has already been answered in another post. Repetitive post topics are subject for removal.
  8. Give More Than You Take
    This is not a community for agency owners to be sold or solicited to. You may link to FREE resources but you may NOT pitch a product or service. Links must be contextually relevant and link to a resource, not a landing page or an attempt to simply get a link back to a site. Your comment and post history will be evaluated in potential removals.
  9. No Surveys or Feedback
    Asking for feedback on completed or upcoming projects is prohibited. This includes surveys, market research, or questionnaires.
  10. No Astroturfing
    Absolutely NO astroturfing. Accounts suspected of astroturfing will be labeled by mods and investigated for permanent banning. This includes users partaking in both posts and comments.

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.
