What this page is

This page quotes r/Spearfishing'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.

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 ($49 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

its rules on Reddit

Spearfishing, on reddit. Freedive, scuba, salt and freshwater - if you're spearing, we're interested.

What its rules say about promotion

Don't overdo promotion of businesses, gear, and social media accounts.
Honest gear reviews and suggestions are encouraged. Advertising will be removed. Limited promotion of guide services, fishing destinations, gear, or off-site social media accounts is allowed but may be removed at the moderators' discretion.

All 5 rules of r/Spearfishing

Know before you shoot
Killing fish, then asking what they are is frowned upon and posts will be removed unless you can provide a good reason for posting it.
No illegal catches
Rules and regulations vary from place to place, but pictures of illegal catches, undersized fish, and endangered species will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned. Provide context for pics of large catches that may appear over quotas or excessive.
If you want to communicate specific spots, do it by DM
If you are going somewhere and trying to spearfish there, requesting information about regulations, restricted areas, and dive buddies is allowed. Posts requesting specific spots to go spearfishing in a given area will be removed. If you want to share specifics, keep it in the DMs.
Don't overdo promotion of businesses, gear, and social media accounts.
Honest gear reviews and suggestions are encouraged. Advertising will be removed. Limited promotion of guide services, fishing destinations, gear, or off-site social media accounts is allowed but may be removed at the moderators' discretion.
No reposts/ Karma farming/ Spam
Accounts reposting other user's posts will be flagged, immediately and permanently banned, and the post removed. Similarly, spam accounts will be permanently banned and flagged.

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.
