Subreddit Rules
- Be polite: You don't have to like the way that someone else drills a hole, but there is absolutely no reason to personally attack, harass or insult another user. If you see this behavior taking place in a thread, please report it so that the moderation team can remove the offending posts.
- NSFW content not tagged/spoilered: Posting gory or gruesome pictures/videos is totally fine. However, all posts like this MUST have the NSFW AND Spoiler tag. This is a hard requirement. We are an adult community but some adults are squeamish. If you see a post that isn't tagged properly please report it and one of the moderators will either tag or remove the content at their discretion. DO NOT use the NSFW and spoiler tags UNLESS it's for gore. Near-misses and stupid behaviour don't count.
- Job postings require salary/wage, no recruit firms: Job postings are okay, the only requirements are that you post the salary or hourly wage of the job posting, and you are directly affiliated with said company
- recruiting firms.
- No advertising: Classified ads go in the Buy/Sell/Trade megathread and nowhere else. Pics and prices are mandatory
- advertising by retailers, resellers, manufacturers, distributors, liquidators, auctioneers, etc
- affiliate links. Posts asking "how much is this worth?", "how do I go about selling this?", "what should I do with this?", etc. belong in the megathread. They are tantamount to advertising
- No AI-generated content
- AI generated content of any kind. This includes but is not limited to ChatGPT / Grok; ANY AI-generated content (images, videos, software, etc.) should not be posted. LLM's have been demonstrably incorrect on many occasions, and the last thing we want is someone getting bad advice and ruining tools, work, or themselves. We also don't want to promote content theft, be it on a personal or commercial scale.
- No Politics
- political posts. This will be strictly enforced.
- No market research / surveys
- market research / surveys. The data gathered from these posts is almost always used to promote/sell a product or service, sold to third parties, or used to train LLMs. Even if you claim or think your survey is exempt from this rule because you're not selling anything, it is in fact not exempt.
