Trackers should not also be posted frequently where they are effectively always `open` Attempts to circumvent this rule will result in that tracker being banned. Trackers shall be open for more than a few hours. - General rules - reddiquette
Follow [reddit's rules](https://www.reddit.com/help/contentpolicy) and the [reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439). Breaking the above rules will result in the post/comment being removed & risk a ban from the sub. - No Links to Content
No links nor requests to/for content, including torrent pages or magnet links, are allowed. - No spamming
There shall be zero tolerance for spamming in this subreddit. This includes but is not limited to: spamming unrelated links, spamming comments, and repeatedly spamming trackers. This applies to unproductive comments such as the RemindMe bot and the bot should be messaged in lieu of a comment on the subreddit.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
