What this page is

This page quotes r/GRE's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-11. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/GRE's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

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.

Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($49 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

All 10 rules of r/GRE

Be nice.
- Don't not be nice.
Stay on topic.
- Submissions must be about the **GRE** itself. Keep discussions focused on preparing, resources, the testing experience, etc. - Avoid making posts about admissions - for example, "should I retake the GRE?". Try /r/GradAdmissions instead.
No low-effort posts.
- Search this subreddit for your question before you post. We’ll delete low-effort posts or posts containing FAQs. - Explain what you tried when asking about a GRE question.
Post your plan.
- When asking for advice, you must describe your current plan to solve your issue. The more detailed your plan, the better the feedback you will get. - If you don't have a plan, do some research (this subreddit is a good resource) and make one. Posts without plans will be removed.
Source in title
- Posts with practice questions must include the source, page #, and question # in the title of the post (for example, Manhattan 5-lb. pg. 441 #27). - ETS practice test questions must also be tagged as a SPOILER.
No spam.
- This includes **advertising** for goods or services, **referral codes**, and **promotional giveaways**. - You may share resources that are **valuable and free**, but please follow [Reddit Rules](https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204536499) when doing so. - Do not post stub articles, "summaries," or "quick tips" promoting another site or service. - Unhelpful content, including AI slop, will be removed at moderator discretion, and blatant spam will result in a permanent ban.
No piracy.
- Do not share pirated books or software, or other copyright violations. An easy rule of thumb: if the resource you're sharing is ordinarily paid, it does not belong here. - Official exam questions may not be posted.
No "Materials Swaps."
- Sorry, but we don't allow posts about buying/selling/trading/donating materials (such as books and online courses). - Free online content can still be posted (no piracy).
No flooding.
- Please do not make more than two posts per day. If you have multiple questions, you can compile them into one post. - For test prep resources, articles, and tips, these are further limited to **two posts per week**. For test prep services, posts by multiple representatives are counted together for the purposes of this rule.
Please flair your posts!
- Use one of the provided flairs. While you're at it, make sure the title of your post is a good indication of what's inside.

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.
