All 9 rules of r/investingforbeginners

No Low Effort Posts, Or Posts Without Meaningful Content
All posts should be able to encourage discussion. All opinions stated within posts should be backed up by factual information, and it is even better if there are links to said information. Low effort posts will be removed
No Soliciting
Do not solicit paid services. This includes linking to videos, blogs or websites that demonstrate a trading strategy which then forwards to a paid service.
Keep Things Professional
While everyone loves a good joke or "meme", we do not want the subreddit being overrun with insults, irrelevant jokes, opinions without context and so on. Please keep things professional and possibly casual. Also, do not make posts asking for personal advice, unless it relates to your trading. Matters relating to everyday life are not ours to advise upon.
No Content Theft
Please avoid "karma farming" by stealing other users high quality posts and passing them off as your own. Constant reposts will be removed, unless they are updated with new and relevant information.
All Advice Must Be Given in Good Faith
This is a community dedicated to the sharing of genuine advice. As we want to help people prepare for their financial adventures, advice shown to be given in bad faith, ie., pump and dumps, will be removed.
No NSFW Content
All content should relate to investing financial instruments or otherwise. NSFW content does not usually fit within this category and therefore all posts with NSFW content will have to be mod approved.
ABSOLUTELY NO POLITICAL POSTS
Keep polotics out of the discussion. If you want to get political, go to one of those subs!
Mods Can Remove Posts, Comments, or Ban Users at Their Discretion
Even if no rule was technically violated, the mods reserve the right to control posts, comments and users and remove them from the subreddit in the interest of keeping the community clean and without bias.
Moderators Are Here to Help
Feel free to message any of the moderators at any time over any issues you may have. We will do our best to help!

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Unpublished minimums.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.
