What its rules say about promotion
Self-promotion
Submitting original content is allowed, but please make it clear that it is your own content being shared, and be aware of the site-wide [guidance](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) from Reddit on self promotion posts. Do not use this community as a platform for advertisement whilst otherwise not engaging in regular discussion. Do not post anything asking for upvotes/likes/subscribers, or containing paid promotional material - such content is cause for removal and potential ban.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No AI-generated content
Do not post any AI generated content - be it text, images, video, or anything else.
All 11 rules of r/geology
- Be civil and respectful
Offensive, abusive language, and uncivil behaviour will not be tolerated. Please maintain a high degree of professionalism during discussions and be respectful to other members; several of our members are seasoned professionals with numerous decades of experience. We welcome and value people of all backgrounds, specialists or not, to this community. Please do not post here with the intention of “sea-lioning”. - Identification posts must be posted in the monthly thread
ID posts must be submitted as top-level comments in the monthly pinned thread. ID posts submitted to r/geology in any other way will be removed. Please take the time to read the pinned thread and provide the additional information that will help us identify your sample. - No Spam
Please do not produce multiple submissions of similar content within a short timeframe. Use albums to submit multiple images at the same time, and linked comments to share any additional information relevant to your post, rather than adding a new submission. - No AI-generated content
Do not post any AI generated content - be it text, images, video, or anything else. - No Homework, Exam, or Lab questions
The moderator team believes that it is not the place for r/geology subscribers to answer homework questions. The first point of contact for help should be the course/school/college/university instructor who assigned the work. Obvious transcriptions and/or screenshots of this type of material will be removed. - No pseudoscience, alternative medicine, or misinformation
Geology is a science, and this sub should exist as a platform for the appreciation, discussion, and criticism of testable science. Do not attempt to proliferate pet-theories and speculation as fact. - Give credit for images, videos, and information
If you post something that is not original content, please try to give credit to the original source (as a linked comment, for instance). If an image or video that you are posting was captured by you, please using the Original Content [OC] tag during your submission. - Self-promotion
Submitting original content is allowed, but please make it clear that it is your own content being shared, and be aware of the site-wide [guidance](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) from Reddit on self promotion posts. Do not use this community as a platform for advertisement whilst otherwise not engaging in regular discussion. Do not post anything asking for upvotes/likes/subscribers, or containing paid promotional material - such content is cause for removal and potential ban. - No Recent/Common Reposts
Please do not knowingly repost any material that has previously been submitted to r/geology. We acknowledge that things can be reposted unintentionally (we do not expect every poster to flick through the sub to see if it has been posted before). If you see something that you believe to be a repost, please report it so the moderators are alerted to this. Be aware that reposts could be removed by the moderators. - Imagery of deadly disasters must have a geologic focus, and be posted with the corresponding flair
Deadly disasters happen in geology, and the geology of such disasters should be discussed. However, it is not appropriate to post excessively graphic imagery of such, or imagery that isn't focused on the disaster itself. Respect must be maintained for the dead. As well, for the benefit of the users of this sub, the NSFW marking is insufficient warning of such content, so it **must** be flaired with the "Deadly Disaster Imagery" flair. - Moderator discretion applies
These rules are not exhaustive but are intended to cover most common submission and comment-related issues. The moderators have the ability to remove content where they deem it to be appropriate.
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.
