Questions related to career and education in zoology should be posted in our weekly thread on the topic. These posts are not allowed in the general postings. - No Pet-Related Posts

Posts asking for identification must have location information (state, country, province), as well as specifics (forest, beach, grassland). Posts without this information will be removed. - No Medical Questions
Posts related to bites, rabies, stings, and animal-related injuries to humans are not allowed. Please consult a medical professional if you are concerned. - No Advertisements
We typically do not allow self-promotion of your own content, communities, and videos. However, we do make exceptions. Please contact the mod team first for approval. - Posts Must Relate to Zoology

Posts and comments that relate to racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hate-speech are not allowed. - No Violence Against Animals
Suggesting or depicting violence against animals is not allowed. This will result in an immediate and permanent ban. - Respectful Disagreement
Disagreements and conversations within this subreddit must be respectful. Name-calling, starting fights, and being purposefully inflammatory will not be tolerated.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
