What this page is
This page quotes r/projectzomboid's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-05. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/projectzomboid's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.
Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

What its rules say about promotion
Promotion & Posting Frequency
We welcome community content and server promotions, but please respect the following frequency limits: Server Advertisements may be posted no more than twice every 30 days per server. Videos (YouTube/Twitch/Lets Plays) are limited to one video every 24 hours and a maximum of three videos per 7 days. Livestreams may be posted whenever you go live, as long as the stream features Project Zomboid. Both posts and comments contribute to these limits.
Key-Selling Websites
Please do not link to or recommend websites that sell keys to Project Zomboid. Not only are these usually illegitimate since The Indie Stone does not provide Steam keys to third party stores besides the Humble Bundle store, but their purchase does not support the developers.
Restrictions on AI Content & Discussion
All art posts created using AI will be removed from the subreddit, with exception to mod thumbnails by mod authors to showcase their mods. Any discussion regarding AI or AI-generated art that isn’t directly relevant to Project Zomboid will also be removed.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Art Posts
All art that is not posted by the original creator must be sourced. We require the name or username of the original artist in the title of the submission. If you are posting your original art, we strongly encourage you to use [I Made] or [OC] in your title to avoid accidental removal. You may also include the artist's profile, social media, and/or website, in a top-level comment. All AI art posts are banned on the subreddit.

Videos (YouTube/Twitch/Lets Plays) are limited to one video every 24 hours and a maximum of three videos per 7 days. Livestreams may be posted whenever you go live, as long as the stream features Project Zomboid. Both posts and comments contribute to these limits. - Be Lovely (General Mish-Mash)
Be lovely, follow the [reddiquette guidelines](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette). Criticism and discussion thereof are welcome but abusive comments are not. Do not engage in personal attacks, even in retribution. Instead of lashing back, report them and move on. This rule applies whether you're criticizing or defending TIS and PZ. - Inappropriate Images
Any graphic images posted that are deemed inappropriate (hardcore pornography, scat, dead bodies etc are prime examples) will be deleted and the posters treated like spam bots. This is your only warning. - Touchy Subjects, Appeals
In cases where the mods have a problem with your conduct and there's no specific rule, moderator decisions stand. For disputes about moderator decisions, please contact the moderators privately via the sidebar (Message the Moderators). Public appeals will result in an automatic ban. - Key-Selling Websites
Please do not link to or recommend websites that sell keys to Project Zomboid. Not only are these usually illegitimate since The Indie Stone does not provide Steam keys to third party stores besides the Humble Bundle store, but their purchase does not support the developers. - Art Posts
All art that is not posted by the original creator must be sourced. We require the name or username of the original artist in the title of the submission. If you are posting your original art, we strongly encourage you to use [I Made] or [OC] in your title to avoid accidental removal. You may also include the artist's profile, social media, and/or website, in a top-level comment. All AI art posts are banned on the subreddit. - No Politics, Religion, or Cross-Community Drama
This subreddit is for Project Zomboid- not politics, religion, or external disputes. No Political or Religious Topics as these discussions often lead to arguments and rule breaking. There are better places for them. No Cross-Community or Server Drama- Bans, disputes, or conflicts from other communities or servers should be handled with those communities directly. Posts stirring up drama will be removed. - Reddit Meta
There's no point going on about votes, up or down. It is simply the nature of Reddit and beyond anyone's control. Complaining about low-effort content in other's threads can result in warnings and/or temp bans. If you're concerned about these posts, only report them or DM the mod team. - Meme saturation
Low-quality posts, low-effort posts, and memes that are not immediately recognizable to be PZ related or submitted during peak times of a popular meme within the subreddit may be subject to removal. This rule is in place to prevent low-effort memes from overshadowing other user posts over a prolonged period of time. In addition to this, commonly posted memes or variations of common posts, for example, spotting a Sledgehammer or Generator IRL, are also subject to removal. - English Only
All posts and comments must be in English. This rule ensures that the subreddit remains accessible and understandable to the majority of the community members. Any post or comment made in a language other than English will be removed. Commonly known phrases or terms from the game that are in another language are acceptable, provided that they are used within an otherwise English post or comment. - Restrictions on AI Content & Discussion
All art posts created using AI will be removed from the subreddit, with exception to mod thumbnails by mod authors to showcase their mods. Any discussion regarding AI or AI-generated art that isn’t directly relevant to Project Zomboid will also be removed.
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.
