What its rules say about promotion
No spam or self-promotion
Posts should add to discussion, not advertise. No vlogs, driving schools, for-hire posts, or app promotion. There was an exception for free apps with no ads, tracking, or paid features, but we're seeing a lot of vibe coded web apps and nobody is responding to those posts. If you used AI to make a useful tool for yourself and your loved ones, that's great. If someone else needs that, they'll probably make their own with the features they want.
No illegal or unsafe content encouragement
Promoting reckless or unlawful behavior is an immediate permanent ban. No appeal. Before you report, read this: Do report: intentionally running someone off the road, intentional crashes, theft, kidnapping, direct threats of harm. Don't report: speeding, bad manners, hypotheticals, admitting mistakes, illegal equipment (tint, studs, lights).

Reddit's sitewide rules (https://redditinc.com/policies/reddit-rules) apply. Bans scale with severity and history. Disengage from heated arguments; you won't change their mind. - Keep posts relevant to driving
Vehicles, roads, driver behavior. If it fits better in r/bicycling or r/advice, or a local subreddit, post it there. - No illegal or unsafe content encouragement
Promoting reckless or unlawful behavior is an immediate permanent ban. No appeal. Before you report, read this: Do report: intentionally running someone off the road, intentional crashes, theft, kidnapping, direct threats of harm. Don't report: speeding, bad manners, hypotheticals, admitting mistakes, illegal equipment (tint, studs, lights). - Respect privacy/no personal info
No personal info, yours or anyone else's. License plates visible in photos are fine, so don't report them. Posting a plate to dig up info on the owner is a permanent ban.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
