2. No spam, advertising, or blogspam
Don't promote your subreddit, site, blog, YouTube channel, product, campaign, group, organization, tool or charity without prior approval from the moderators. Don't promote someone else's product, either. We are open to allowing new companies or technologies to introduce themselves via a single AMA post. **Coordinate with the mods beforehand.** Otherwise buy a reddit ad.

5. No outside surveys or polls
If you want to gather information from this community to help your business or academic study, or to help you with a school assignment, you must buy a reddit ad. They are cheap. In rare circumstances we will allow surveys.

3. No personal attacks, harassment, or bigotry
Brazen shitposts that attack or harass a specific user without providing any logical argument are subject to removal. If your personal argument with another user does nothing to contribute to the OP's thread, your comment may be removed. **Profanity and stout disagreement in and of itself is not necessarily against our rules, but you must adhere to Rule #4 at all times**. New offenders will be warned or temporarily banned. Repeat offenders will be banned permanently.
4. Your post must contribute to ongoing discussion
Trolling, low-effort questions (which could be answered by reading the FAQ or searching), and other posts which do not meaningfully contribute to discussion are subject to removal. Posts that advocate illegal behavior will be removed. No gore, porn, or other shocking content that isn’t part of a validated news story and/or doesn't respect the privacy and welfare of the victims. Disturbing content (e.g. photos of shooting victims) that is marked NSFW and is from a newsworthy may be allowed.

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Unpublished minimums.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.
