- No Licensure Related Questions: Questions related to licensure will be removed and referred to our weekly license question thread. Obtaining your license is something that can vary by location. We do not want anyone to be given potentially wrong advice when it comes to their career and recommend if in doubt to contact your licensing board, coworkers, or fellow students. Posts about passing the exam and including any guides or tips, are allowed.

- asking/looking for jobs, job postings, job availability, the job market in certain cities, macro/micro work or resume help. There are many other subs that are dedicated to these topics, please consult with them for these questions. We do allow city/state-specific job market questions in our stickied thread.
- No Homework Help
- asking for help with your homework assignments, evaluations, or interviewing a social worker. Homework in all of its stages is meant to help develop you as a professional. If you are feeling stuck, please consult with either your professor, supervisor, or classmates for assistance. They will be much more familiar with the criteria of the assignment than us.
- No Solicitation Posts
- solicitation posts. This means no posts asking for financial assistance, no links to GoFundMe campaigns, no posts asking for or propositioning an exchange of money.
- Confidentiality: We want this subreddit to be a place for social workers to be able to get feedback from peers, but we also must be mindful that posts are protecting the identity of clients and other reddit users. Posts may be removed temporarily at the discretion of the moderators if there are confidentiality concerns, and the poster will be given the option to edit their post. Doxing of users, including sharing publicly available or identifying information, will result in a permanent ban.

- Be Excellent to Each Other: Be Excellent to each other. Hostility, hatred, trolling, and persistent disrespect will not be tolerated. Users who are unable to engage in conversation- even contentious conversation- with kindness and mutual respect will have their posts/comments removed. Users violating this rule will first receive a warning, secondly an additional warning with a 7 day ban, third incident or a pattern of disrespect will result in a permanent ban.
- User Flair/Location is Optional, but Highly Recommended: User Flair/Location is now optional, but highly recommended. While this sub's users skew heavily North American, we have a wide variety of global users. Some questions are location specific or not universally applicable, so we ask that users please include a location tag either in their post or in their user flair to help others navigate the sub and offer applicable feedback.
- No Reposting Removed Threads: Reposting a thread removed by Automod or the Mod Team is an automatic 3 day ban. Please reach out by Modmail for post review and approval.
