All 7 rules of r/obs
- Be Excellent To Each Other
Act respectfully towards support volunteers and be patient when receiving help or support. Treat other users kindly when participating in the discussion. - No self-promotion except when required for help
Self-promotion to gain viewership or subscribers is frowned upon and not allowed, except when directly asked for during discussion (e.g. to check VoDs for problems etc.). Links to how-to's and instructions are allowed when not spammed. The mods may remove links when the provided info is incorrect or misleading.

This sub is to receive help and advice or to provide constructive feedback - No discussion/help for Streamlabs Desktop
Streamlabs Desktop is a standalone fork of OBS Studio. It is maintained and supported by Streamlabs directly. OBS Studio shares nothing with the app beside its core streaming library. Please contact Streamlabs directly via [their Discord server](https://discord.gg/stream) or their [Help portal](https://support.streamlabs.com/). - No low-effort requests or severe lack of details
To be able to get helpful answers or insight it is required that your posts contain enough information or background to form an opinion. It also saves other people's time and gets you answers more quickly. Examples would be "Help pls" or "OBS is not working!" without any further info or straight requests for hand-holding instead of showing willingness to learn and trying out things. - No harmful advice
Harmful advice includes, but is not limited, to: * disabling essential security functions * known unsafe services or software * malware/viruses - No URL shortener services
URL shortener makes it hard for users to see the actual link and may affect them by web blocks or similar problems. They are also prone to abuse by spam or phishing content.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
