Harassment includes but is not limited to ad-hominem attacks, racism, discrimination, sexual harassment, hateful/violent language, slurs, and in general just being an asshole.

Additionally, posts with excessive amounts of AI-generated text are also deemed low-effort. - Stay on-topic to Options and Stock Market
We focus on discussions related to options, stocks and futures. This includes topics such as market-moving events, company earnings, and economic developments that directly affect the financial markets. Off-topic content will be removed. Additionally, political posts or comments that do not respectfully contribute to the discussion may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
