What its rules say about promotion
Posts and comments must be non-commercial
Do not advertise businesses, attempt to generate leads, solicit customers, or engage in any profit-making activity unless you do so on behalf of an organization officially sponsored by Texas A&M. Limited exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the moderation team.
All 13 rules of r/TAMUAdmissions
- Be Nice / Aggie Honor Code
Be nice to one another. Aggie Honor Code: "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do." No shady business around here. - Look before you post
Before making a post, please search and check if it's already been posted before. If you can't find anything related, or you have a slightly different situation, or if an older similar post was archived, then feel free to post. If you're sharing information, you can repost after the previous post has faded out of the subreddit's eye. - Try out /r/Aggies
While we allow any posts about admissions to Texas A&M University and the incoming Freshman experience (housing, roommate requests, fish camp, etc.), some things are best left for the /r/Aggies subreddit, and we recommend you check it out! - Posts should be of generally good quality
Each post title should clearly describe what the post is about. For instance, "Quick freshman admission question" is vague, but "What is the difference between CS and ECE?" is descriptive. We require descriptive post titles because they help others find your post more easily. We also don’t allow low quality posts, including cross posts to questions asked in other subs. - Students, not Parents
While parents may ask general questions and share general admissions-related information, parents cannot share specifics of their child's academic statistics, extracurriculars, application status, etc. This is to protect their privacy, in the spirit of federal FERPA regulations. - No "Convince Me" posts, or School Comparison Posts
Texas A&M University is a world-renowned University, with numerous highly ranked programs. We don't allow "Convince Me" posts - you can do the research. We also *typically* do not apply comparison posts, as most of us do not have experience with obscure other programs. Some exceptions can be made for either of these, but don't be surprised if your post is removed. - Misinformation
/r/TAMUAdmissions will largely allow speculation, but will not allow for blatant disinformation or false statements. In some cases, we will also remove posts and comments that are overly optimistic or pessimistic when they are stated as fact. - Polls must have "Results" option
All polls must have a "Results," "Answers," or "See Answers" option added to allow members of our community to view the results without swaying the numbers of any "real" answer. - Posts and comments must be non-commercial
Do not advertise businesses, attempt to generate leads, solicit customers, or engage in any profit-making activity unless you do so on behalf of an organization officially sponsored by Texas A&M. Limited exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the moderation team. - Do not ask if a major or college are full
Do not ask if a major or college are full. If people on the sub know this, they'll have posted it. This rule is not enforced in the daily / weekly threads. - Do not ask when you'll be admitted / has anyone been admitted yet
Do not ask when you'll be admitted, or if anyone has been admitted to a program yet. If people on the sub know this, they'll have posted it. This rule is not enforced in the daily / weekly threads. - Chance Me Guidelines must be followed
Chance Me Guidelines must be followed. Please check the guidelines here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TAMUAdmissions/wiki/chanceme](https://www.reddit.com/r/TAMUAdmissions/wiki/chanceme) - Use the megathread when available
When /r/TAMUAdmissions is experiencing a heightened level of interest in a particular topic, moderators may decide to create a megathread. Unless otherwise specified, you must use the megathread for this topic as long as the post is active. Repeat violations may result in a ban.
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.
