What this page is
This page quotes r/hockey's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-12. 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/hockey's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about promotion
Self Promotion
Reddit requires a 10:1 ratio when posting your own content (10 posts not your own content for every 1 that is). Here on /r/hockey we're more lenient and only require a 3:1 ratio. Please mind this ratio when you post your content to /r/hockey. Failure to do this will result in your account being banned, and your website being added to the spam filter. Further, we expect anyone that wants to promote their own content to contribute to and be a part of the community. Sales are not allowed at all.
All 10 rules of r/hockey

Racist, ethnic, sexist or homophobic slurs as well as any other hate speech of any kind is not tolerated on /r/hockey.

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
