What its rules say about promotion
Illegal Activity or Sourcing
You may discuss controlled or illegal substances in a personal, theoretical, or educational context. Do not promote, source, or encourage illegal behavior.
No Spam or Low-Effort Self-Promotion
Self-promotion is allowed if it adds genuine value. Repetitive, misleading, or purely commercial content will be removed.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Use of AI (e.g., ChatGPT) is Allowed
You can use AI tools (like ChatGPT) to improve grammar, flow, and formatting. Posts written with AI are welcome as long as they are clear and respectful and provide evidence for the unusual claims. Someone’s English skills do not reflect their intelligence or the quality of their ideas. Focus on what they’re saying, not how perfectly it’s written. (this is where AI can help a lot)
All 14 rules of r/AskFitnessIndia
- Respect Others – No Harassment, Racism, or Discrimination
This is a global subreddit. Avoid racist, xenophobic, or culturally insensitive remarks. No harassment, abuse, threats, or doxxing. Respect boundaries if someone asks you not to DM them, stop. - Disagree Respectfully – Explain Your Reasoning
Low-effort disagreements (e.g., “no, you're wrong”) will be removed. If you disagree with a post that cites evidence or makes a detailed point, respond with logic or counter-evidence. - Illegal Activity or Sourcing
You may discuss controlled or illegal substances in a personal, theoretical, or educational context. Do not promote, source, or encourage illegal behavior. - No Censorship on Fitness Topics
All topics related to fitness, including controversial ones like anabolics, biohacking, and unconventional approaches are allowed. Open, uncensored discussion is encouraged. - No Spam or Low-Effort Self-Promotion
Self-promotion is allowed if it adds genuine value. Repetitive, misleading, or purely commercial content will be removed. - No Witch-Hunting or Callouts
Don’t target individual Reddit users. Don’t post callouts, dogpiles, or name-and-shame content. Take personal issues to DMs or report through Reddit. - Use of AI (e.g., ChatGPT) is Allowed
You can use AI tools (like ChatGPT) to improve grammar, flow, and formatting. Posts written with AI are welcome as long as they are clear and respectful and provide evidence for the unusual claims. Someone’s English skills do not reflect their intelligence or the quality of their ideas. Focus on what they’re saying, not how perfectly it’s written. (this is where AI can help a lot) - Back Up Unusual Claims with Evidence
If you make claims that go against mainstream understanding or common practice, you must provide credible sources (studies, expert data, etc.). Posts without evidence may be removed. - Debate the Ideas — Not the Person or the Tool
Focus on the content of a post, not who wrote it or how it was written. It doesn’t matter if the author is an experienced coach, a beginner, or used AI like ChatGPT, good arguments stand on their own. - Respect Beginners (Flair)
Making fun of, mocking, or posting sarcastic, demotivating, or insulting comments, users with the Beginner flair will result in removal of the comment. Remember: Beginners are in the toughest phase of their journey. They’re often confused, vulnerable, and surrounded by people discouraging them from making positive changes. In this sub, the beginner is the most important person. Treat them with respect, patience, and encouragement. - Steroid Accusation Not Allowed
If someone is posting their photo, you cannot accuse them for steroid use mostly because you cannot prove without lab test so it's pointless and doesn't lead discussion anywhere. Using steroid is a personal choice whether you agree with it or not. Steroid use speculation is allowed in case of celebrities and other public figures, not on average joe posting pics here. - No Ratings, No Photo only posts
Do not ask for ratings or optimizing for female gaze - Minimum karma requirement
Minimum 50 karma is required to post in this sub - Photos Must Follow Rule
Shirtless physique photos only on Shirtless Saturdays; must be marked NSFW. Any other day = removed. 1. Must include age, height & weight. 2. Bodybuilding poses only. 3. Pants/shorts must stay at/above waistline. 4. Add context/before pic if possible. 5. Only one physique picture per person every week 6. No explicit NSFW. 7. No rating requests.
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.
