As a community on Reddit, we adhere to the [sidewide content policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy), [Reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439) & the [User Agreement](https://www.redditinc.com/policies).
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
