All 9 rules of r/indiecomics
- OC Thursday
This subreddit encourages cartoonists to share their work they created, i.e. original content (OC). Please only make OC posts on Thursdays (UTC). - Self-Promotion and Crowdfunding
Like OC, posts constituting self-promotion (including crowdfunding posts) are only allowed on Thursdays (UTC). In addition, please make no more than two posts about the same crowdfunding project. - Buying/Selling of Comics
This is not the sub to sell or buy comics. - Please Only Make Posts Related to Comics
Please do not post artwork that is unrelated to comics. - No Copyright Infringement
Please do not share any content that infringes copyright, link to websites containing this content, or discuss how to obtain such content. - Please No Talk of Politics
This also includes socio-political. These topics can derail the conversation and have a tendency to turn threads toxic. There are many subreddits which deal directly with these topics. - Please No Hearsay or Speculation
Let's try and steer away from 'chatty patty' gossip. 'Games of telephone' can quickly escalate into 'kangaroo courts' and be extremely harmful to cartoonists. - Please No Trolling
Please do not try and elicit a negative emotional response from others. - Bots
Besides u/comixbot, this sub has no interest in automatic posts from bots of any kind. All other bots will be banned.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
