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.

its rules on Reddit

A subreddit for people interested in learning more about the Latin and Ancient Greek languages and the cultures of the ancient world.

What its rules say about AI and bots

Don't post AI-generated content
AI-generated posts or comments are not allowed. ChatGPT, Google Translate, and the like will confidently give you wrong answers about translations and Latin grammar. And if you only have a beginner's proficiency in Latin, there will be enough correct information to trick you. Generally, posts about machine translators and AI, as well as content generated by AI, will be removed.

All 6 rules of r/classics

Make it about Classics.
Posts and comments should primarily pertain to Greek and Latin Classics. Discussions on other topics are allowed as long as they are connected to Greek and Latin Classics (literature, history, archeology, art...).
All discussions about learning Greek or Latin go to r/AncientGreek and r/latin.
This is not a language learning sub. If you want to study Greek or Latin, or if you have questions about those languages, please post to r/AncientGreek or r/latin.
Don't post AI-generated content

Generally, posts about machine translators and AI, as well as content generated by AI, will be removed.
Show prior effort when requesting help with assignments.
Be specific about the issues you're having. **A little context goes a long way!** Ask for corrections and explanations, not for translations. When helping, make it about teaching, not handing out the right answer.
Be kind and argue in good faith.
Do not try to be right - try to reach consensus. Reiterate the position you disagree with. Explain your reasoning and give your sources. Teach and learn in return. Trolling, in all its forms, will lead to a suspension or permanent ban. This includes contributors who are found to be overly antagonistic, misinformed, malicious, belligerent, or intending to evoke negative reactions, as well as those making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments with the intent of baiting or provoking uns
Demonstrate care and thought when posting.
High-effort posting that is likely to result in meaningful discussion is encouraged. Pictures of libraries are acceptable if they serve to support a precise discussion on classics, rather than as mere displays of wealth or size of a collection.

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.
