- its rules on Reddit
Use this subreddit to get advice on renting or buying accommodation in the UK, or to have civil discussions about it. Please remember: Reddit IS NOT a replacement or substitute for a qualified solicitor, and any advice given here which relates to the law is purely academic in nature and should not be relied upon.
What its rules say about promotion
Firms/Organisations/Advertising
We welcome firms and organisations asking questions and replying to users, but please do not link to, advertise, solicit business for, recommend, or 'name/shame' any business(es) or any paid service(s). We also can't accept posts asking for recommendations of or opinions about specific law firms or estate agents.
All 6 rules of r/HousingUK
- Be polite/civil
Please keep it civil. Not everyone will be as experienced as you are, and people are here looking for help. Do not insult an OP for their position, and OPs should not attack people for trying to help. - No spam
No spam. If you happen to have useful links or accommodation to share, please do so only when relevant, not in every thread. Message the mods if you are unsure - Post to the relevant subreddit
Keep on the topic of housing in the UK. For other topics, including DIY or moving to the UK, a different subreddit may be more appropriate. - Advising To/How To Commit Crimes/Unlawful Actions
Never advise users to commit, or how to commit a criminal offence or unlawful action, and do not make posts asking for advice on doing so. - Do not approach users via PM
Do not ask for advice via PM. Do not offer advice via PM. Do not invite people to PM you. Do not discuss anything via PM in any circumstance. HousingUK does not verify the accuracy of any advice being given, but the community will try to fact-check answers. This process of validation cannot take place in a PM and risks legal issues for OPs and commenters; all discussion should take place within the public forum for everyone's protection and rule breakers will be banned. - Firms/Organisations/Advertising
We welcome firms and organisations asking questions and replying to users, but please do not link to, advertise, solicit business for, recommend, or 'name/shame' any business(es) or any paid service(s). We also can't accept posts asking for recommendations of or opinions about specific law firms or estate agents.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
