All 15 rules of r/lonely
  1. No discrimination, sexism or racism
    Pretty self explanatory this one, no discriminating based on a person's circumstances, this is a tolerant community and anyone found breaking these rules will be dealt with.
  2. No Harrasment
    This includes all types of harassment not limited to sexual harassment and creepy posts/comments. You will be removed from the page.
  3. Please be kind
    This isn't so much as a rule, but just worth remembering. Most of us here are quite vulnerable, so please just if you can, spare a kind word, and if not, at the very least don't try and make someone feel worse. r/lonely Is a subreddit for lonely people but there's nothing wrong with posts from people who are no longer lonely (but used to be) don't try to destroy their happiness even If you don't believe them.
  4. No suicide encouragement, glorification, or notes
    Also goes without saying, don't tell people to kill themselves, don't glorify suicide/death, and, unfortunately, we will have to remove any suicide notes from here, as whilst we want to help everyone, we do not want more people getting that idea.
  5. Don't post personal information outside of PM's
    For your own safety, do not post or comment your phone number, social media usernames etc. outside of private messages.
  6. No romantic or sexual content!
    /r/r4r might be more suited for that. If someone ends up DM'ing you only for the purpose of getting nudes, etc,. Instead of making a post "exposing" them, Send a message to the [moderators](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/lonely) so we can take action. + If you need romantic or sexual advice, use different subreddits, please.
  7. Don't spam, advertise, or push your religion or paid conent upon others
    Your submission will be removed, and action might be taken.

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  • Unpublished minimums.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.
