What this page is
This page quotes r/SNKRS's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-12. 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/SNKRS's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about promotion
Buying/Selling/Trading
Buying/selling/trading is prohibited (even asking about it). There are other subreddits for that.
All 7 rules of r/SNKRS
- Buying/Selling/Trading
Buying/selling/trading is prohibited (even asking about it). There are other subreddits for that. - Act Civil(ish)
Act civil. We get it — sneaker talk can get heated, and some playful shots or banter are fine. But keep it in check: no excessive name-calling, abusive language, slurs, no harassment. If it crosses into personal attacks instead of discussion, it’s getting removed. - Fakes/Replica Shoes
No fakes. No discussion regarding fakes. There are other subreddits for that. - No Legit Checks
No posts asking whether a shoe is real or fake. There are other subreddits for that. - Stick to Sneakers Content
Keep posts and discussions related solely to sneakers and relevant content. - Spam not allowed
- 6. Retailer Finds
Any user that would like to make a post regarding a pair of shoes they found and/or purchased (for example: “I found these Military Blue 4’s for $75 at Ross!”) MUST be tagged with the location and name of retailer from said location. Example of an approved retailer find post: “Found these AMM 4’s at Ross (Philly)” Any posts not containing the tagged location and name of retailer will 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- Unpublished minimums.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.
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.
