- its rules on Reddit
Australia-focused, politically neutral sub, for open, civil discourse on all things 'Straya, and related world events. Fair dinkum.
What its rules say about promotion
No overt/unauthorised self-promotion
Do some cool home reno? Neat. Try and get people to sign up to your propaganda site/newsletter? Not neat. We don't give a shit and you will be punted.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No AI or bots
This is a space for real, human discussion on factual content. That means no AI content, or propaganda, of any kind. Bot accounts, post automation and secondary accounts used for ban evasion are also not allowed.
All 13 rules of r/OpenAussie
- Follow Reddit's Content Policy
Here: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy - Does it pass The Pub Test?
We have an open and relaxed approach to moderation. That said, if it wouldn’t fly in a pub, it won’t fly here. All violations of The Pub Test are reviewed by a minimum of two mods before we take further action (if needed). - Moderate yourself first
If need be, we'll remove things that violate our rules, notify you, and give you the chance to change/correct it so that it complies, and can be reinstated. Don't wanna change it? That's fine too, it will stay taken down. The power is YOURS! - Must be related to Australia
Local events, announcements, news, etc are encouraged, as are those happening globally, but they must have some sort of obvious, clear and relevant link to Australia. - No trolling/abuse/harassment
Talk about whatever you want, but be civil. As in, debate the point, not the person. Racism, sexism, personal threats, trolling, harassment and bigotry are not welcome here. Remember: In an online screaming match, there are only losers. - No AI or bots
This is a space for real, human discussion on factual content. That means no AI content, or propaganda, of any kind. Bot accounts, post automation and secondary accounts used for ban evasion are also not allowed. - No low-effort/karma-farming
Posts must encourage good faith discussion, and those made with little to no effort will be removed. Exceptional memes/videos are the exception, but they may still be taken down at the discretion of the mods if obviously posted for the purpose of karma-farming (or violation of other rules). - No overt/unauthorised self-promotion
Do some cool home reno? Neat. Try and get people to sign up to your propaganda site/newsletter? Not neat. We don't give a shit and you will be punted. - No brigading users/other subs
Don't coordinate an attack on a user or a sub. That goes for shit-talking other subs by name (and/or tagging them), planned down-voting campaigns or message flooding. This includes shit-talking OpenAussie or our mod actions in public. Mod Mail us if you've got a case of the feels. Brigading is against our rules, Reddit TOS, and causes unwanted, negative attention for us. - No misinformation/overly-editorialised titles
Include references for statistics/poll images and news-related screenshots. Lite title rewording for news-content is allowed for clarity, conciseness and engagement, but not for re-framing, pushing an agenda or spreading misinformation. Give it to us straight, and save your opinion for the comment section. - No repeated topics/info
First to get worms, wins: one post allowed per topic and/or story. Similar posts will be removed and directed to the weekly, general mega thread. Newsworthy/major development posts can be approved at the mod's discretion. - Serious flair means serious responses only
Top-level comments on serious posts aren't the place for jokes, sarcasm, or low-effort memes. Seriously. - Have fun. Or else
This is a space to talk about anything and everything related to 'Straya - not just hot political takes and the latest culture war BS. So take a chill pill, touch some grass, enjoy some memes, whatever - just remember to not take everything so seriously. That's an order.
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.
