All 13 rules of r/Cryptozoology
- Always Be Benevolent!
Don't be that guy, it's not that deep. You can disagree with people in a respectful way. - Youtube/Podcast/Art Rules

Any account confirmed to be multi-sub spamming, especially blog & YouTube spam, after a checking of account history, will be banned. - No Paranormal and Alien Submissions
This subreddit is NOT about the Paranormal. Please keep submissions on-topic and related to the subject of [Cryptozoology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoology). Submissions that fall under the category of /r/Paranormal, such as Ghosts, Demons, Vampires, Werewolves, and Aliens/[UFOs](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/) will be removed. You can talk about the folklore/theorize about what potentially explains the sightings though - Overzealous Skepticism or Belief
Please do not belittle other posters' beliefs or disbelief in Cryptozoological species. If you don't believe in a given creature, that is certainly fine, but don't be rude or mean towards people who do. You can believe in every cryptid or none of them, just be respectful while discussing it - Cryptocurrency Posts
This is a Cryptozoology sub. Need I say more? - Poor Quality Source
Linking to sites overloaded with adds and pop-ups, or sites whose content creators are veritably insane, will not be accepted. Refusing a request to source a claim may also result in your post being taken down - Limited Art Posts

Fully AI generated images are also not allowed Bigfoot Loch Ness Monster Yeti Banned Paranormal Creatures - Paranormal Creatures Are Banned
The following will not be posted on the sub—doing so will result in a ban (which can be lifted after the rules are read and agreed to): Wendigo • Fresno Night Crawlers • Werewolves • Skinwalkers • Dogmen • Mothman • Owlman • Crawlers • Vampires • Aliens • Not-Deer - No AI Posts
Any AI generated images, stories, or comments aren't allowed - No Folkloric Creatures and Fearsome Critters
Creatures like cactus cats, squonks and hidebehinds originated in fictional stories and aren't cryptids. - Posts must be related to cryptozoology
All posts must be related to cryptozoology. New species discoveries/rediscoveries must be significant (like a new megafauna) or related to cryptids in some way. One-off escaped animals are also not significant. - No Reposts
If you're posting about a recent news story or a new article, please check that it hasn't been posted here before recently - Be nice to people asking questions.
If someone is genuinely asking a question off topic unhelpful non answers will be removed. If someone gets something wrong just correct them, don't berate them
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.
