What this page is
This page quotes r/AITAH's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-05. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/AITAH's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.
Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

- its rules on Reddit
A place to ask if you were, in fact, the asshole in a particular situation. Posts must ask for judgment in a conflict between two or more people, or a reasonable expectation of a conflict for hypothetical posts. AITAH is a judgment sub, not an advice sub. No AI, period. See the wiki for more specifics.
What its rules say about promotion
No advertising
No advertising of any kind in the subreddit or on your bio. No gambling links, no crypto, NSFW links, self-enrichment links (send me money) etc. Any violation will result in a permanent ban.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No AI or Bot post and comments
AI posts and comments are not allowed and will be removed. Yes, even if you only used it as a writing tool. Bot posts and comments are not allowed and will be removed. All accounts will be permanently banned.
All 11 rules of r/AITAH
- Posts must be about conflict
Posts must be about a conflict - a disagreement between two or more people in actions or words. Hypothetical posts are allowed if there is a reasonable expectation of conflict. - Posts must ask for judgment
This is a judgment sub, not a sub for advice, relationship issues, debates over larger issues, or rants. - No AI or Bot post and comments
AI posts and comments are not allowed and will be removed. Yes, even if you only used it as a writing tool. Bot posts and comments are not allowed and will be removed. All accounts will be permanently banned. - No completely fake posts
Fake posts that have no point or are clearly creative writing are not allowed. Hypothetical posts (asking, "Would I be the AH if I did...?") should clearly label themselves and use the flair. We do not allow posts that have been asked loads of times recently and we will remove them as fake. - No karma farming
Post and comments that appear to be farming for karma will be removed. Any history of going to karma farming sites are also a violation. The account will face a ban. - No reposts or third party posts
This includes cross-posting your own post on other advice subs and recycling old posts. Third-party posts are posts that are not from the original user - that is, you can't post for someone else. Hypothetical posts are not third-party posts. - Be civil to each other
We expect people to post and comment with decorum. No matter how egregious you might think a user is acting, you do not have a right to respond in the same way. This rule will be enforced less strictly in comments that are providing judgement against the poster but we will still remove particularly egregious personal attacks. - No excessive use of demeaning language or names
Descriptive negative language such as name calling is not allowed. Cussing happens when people become emotional and that is understandable. However, name calling just to insult people is not allowed. - No advertising
No advertising of any kind in the subreddit or on your bio. No gambling links, no crypto, NSFW links, self-enrichment links (send me money) etc. Any violation will result in a permanent ban. - No political posts or comments that push an idea or agenda.
Posts and comments that discuss a political point rather than a specific conflict are not allowed. Posts that are solely based on political views and/or individuals are not allowed. If a comment is used to attack another person by using common political terms and buzzwords that have no relevance to the post, it will be removed. If a political post becomes uncivil in the comments, the post will be removed as uncivil. - Maximum of one update
To keep the subreddit focused on judgment posts, one update post is allowed for each new post made. You are welcome to make further updates in our other subreddit r/Redditor_Updates
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.
