What Are Income Sharing Posts? Often framed as “not to brag, but to inspire,” these are posts where you share your income, bonuses, or something similar. To stay up, they must include helpful, non-generic info in the post or comments. Examples: - How you got the role - Detailed look at your work process and daily tasks - Skills you learned to get where you are - Tips or lessons others can apply Avoid vague advice like “just keep applying”.

WFH equipment, work software, etc. But personal tech questions are subject for moderation and can be removed if too far away from the sub topic. - Repetitive Legit Check: Check the "Where Do I Start" Pinned Post First
Due to the increasing amount of repetitive legit check posts, we're removing anything that has been asked too many times. e.g. scams like asking you to pay, asking access to your personal account, etc. If your post was removed, it's very likely that it's a common scam documented in the 'Where to Start' Pinned post.

There may be some exceptions, such as notifying people about scams, but these posts should focus on providing helpful information rather than attacking others. - Don't Bring Other Community's Drama or Private Feuds Here
Sharing relevant info is fine, but when the subreddit turns into a place for drama, gossip, or airing other groups' dirty laundry, things can get out of hand fast.

Posts like these may be removed on a case-by-case basis, but they're strongly discouraged. - Be Transparent with Details & Affiliates

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
