Submissions **must** include summary information about the research **in text form** (to allow readers to understand what they would be getting involved with up front) and the academic institution at which the research is being done (schools and FE colleges can remain nameless). Please add the 'Academic' flair to these submissions.

Accommodation posts for advice only
Posts regarding accommodation are for general advice only (areas, amenities, transport etc). Asking for help finding a property or a tenant is not allowed - there are sites and agencies for that.

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Unpublished minimums.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.
