What its rules say about promotion
Respect Reddit's Content Policy.
All users must comply with Reddit's [Content Policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy), strictly prohibiting NSFW content (in non-NSFW communities), spam, illegal activity, and doxxing. As part of our prohibition on spam, we do not allow direct or indirect advertising in this subreddit (for jobs, surveys, or products). Violations endanger the entire community's existence; therefore, there is zero tolerance for these offenses.
All 5 rules of r/Lawyertalk
- Respect Reddit's Content Policy.
All users must comply with Reddit's [Content Policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy), strictly prohibiting NSFW content (in non-NSFW communities), spam, illegal activity, and doxxing. As part of our prohibition on spam, we do not allow direct or indirect advertising in this subreddit (for jobs, surveys, or products). Violations endanger the entire community's existence; therefore, there is zero tolerance for these offenses. - Adhere to Reddiquette.
Follow [Reddiquette](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette). Be nice, relevant, and respectful; provide sources and format your posts properly. Knowingly participating in threads that violate community rules is itself a breach of Reddiquette. If you message the mods with a question answered explicitly by the rules or the message first sent to you, we may issue you a short temp ban for wasting our time. This standard applies to all posts and comments. - Do Not Request or Provide Legal Advice.
This community is for professional peer discussion, not legal counsel. Members must not provide any legal advice, whether full, partial, hypothetical application of law to facts, or strategic recommendations. A ban will be issued to the requesting party and anyone that engages with their request. This prohibition covers all posts and comments and is applied mechanistically; no in-depth analysis of context or intent will be performed. - Only Legal Practitioners should participate here.
A Legal Practitioner is an individual who has been formally admitted or authorized by the competent regulatory authority in their jurisdiction (Bar, Order, Chamber, Court, or equivalent body) to practice law, and whose admission remains valid (i.e., not revoked or suspended). This includes current/active, non-practicing, retired, and judicially appointed practitioners alike. LPs will also have practice insurance and typically pay annual fees. Retired or Non-Prac. LPs are welcome. - Please use the right post flair or Megathread.
For example: Any content related to US current events, politics or news should use the "US Legal News" flair. For example: posts about legal tech, AI or off topic subjects should go in our megathreads. This rule is enforced without notice to users and is not something you can appeal, so please review the flairs before posting. If your post keeps getting removed, this is likely the cause.
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.
