All 11 rules of r/anesthesiology
  1. Show professional courtesy.
    You can post anything from journal articles to memes, but be respectful to one another. Also follow [reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette).
  2. This subreddit is for professional discussion about the medical specialty of anesthesiology.
    We welcome discussions about anesthesia from anesthesiologists in the USA, anaesthetists in the world, nurse anesthetists, anesthesiologist assistants, and other healthcare professionals. The spirit of the subreddit is professional discussion about the medical specialty of anesthesiology and its practice. There is no specific rule against layperson posts. However, as a heavily moderated sub, users may be banned for non-professional posts or if it is clear they have no professional knowledge.
  3. Do not seek or provide medical advice or information here.
    Only your anesthesiologist, who will be taking care of you and knows your individual needs and medical history, can answer all your questions appropriately. Consider visiting /r/AskDocs or /r/Anesthesia if you are seeking medical advice or information. You may be banned if you are an anesthesiologist/other health professional and provide advice or information to layperson questions. Users requesting medical information/advice will be banned.
  4. No disclosing private health information.
    Don't violate HIPAA.
  5. Read the rules, FAQs, and stickies before posting. Consider searching previous posts as well.
    You may find that your question/comment has been discussed before. Posting a frequently discussed subject may result in a warning or ban. [Link for FAQs](https://www.reddit.com/r/anesthesiology/wiki/faqs)
  6. Use user flairs or explain your background in text posts.
    Posts that have no flair may be locked until OP posts flair.
  7. No posts solely seeking advice on entering the field.
    As an extension of rule 2, this is a place for professionals in the field to discuss it. This is NOT the place to ask questions about how to become an anesthesiologist, help with getting into residency, or to decide if a career in anesthesia (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Anesthesiologist Assistant) is the correct choice for you. This includes asking questions about residency application outside the monthly thread. Posts along these threads will be removed and users may be banned.
  8. No advertisement or spam. This includes AI generated content.
    Examples: no advertising medical equipment, no job postings, no advertising test banks, no surveying users to get free data, no sharing free videos or podcasts that are driven by ad revenue. Basically includes all goods and services that the poster can benefit or profit from. Consult the mods if you have something really worth sharing. As a community of professionals, AI slop is not tolerated - we all have this very basic understanding through our training.
  9. Posts about journals or news articles should not have paywalls.
    Only articles that are fully publicly accessible are allowed.
  10. Automoderator is active.
    Automoderator will automatically remove posts that get 3 reports. You must have an account that is at least 7 days old with more than 1 karma to post. Contact the moderators if you think your post should be approved.
  11. Moderators reserve the right to moderate.
    Users who break the subreddit rules or significantly act against the best interest of the subreddit's readers will be moderated or banned with or without warning. If a ban is determined to stay and the situation considered resolved by the mod team, users who continue to message the moderators will be muted.

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.
