Which subreddits ban AI-generated posts? AI tools
We read the rules of 35 communities for AI tools. 11 have a rule that removes some or all AI-generated posts, comments or media. 0 more remove bots or automated accounts, 2 allow AI-assisted content only when it's labeled, and 10 more have a rule that names AI or bots. Each community's page quotes the rule and the date we read it.
Posting with AI? The ThreadFox kit ($49) reads a community's current rules and points at its AI rule before your AI writes a word; ThreadFox Lite (free) reads the rules too.

What the written rules don't show
- Readers notice. Posts that read as AI-written draw replies calling them out, in communities with no AI rule too. Write in your own words, with real numbers and what actually happened.
- Unpublished filters. Many communities also remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page.
- Rules change. Communities add AI rules often. Read the current rules before you post.
Know the AI rule before your AI writes.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, points at the rules that most often stop a post (AI-written content, flair, posting days, account age and links), writes a post that fits them, posts once from your own Chrome and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules and finds communities too.

How to read it: our reading of each community's rule text on the date shown, hand-reviewed for every community listed here. "Some or all" includes narrow rules, such as one that removes only AI art or unchecked AI answers; each community's page quotes the rule itself. Moderators decide, and rules change: read the current rules before you post. The list is free to use with a link to threadfox.vip/rules/ai-content. Not affiliated with Reddit or any community listed.
