Reading the result

What each part of the result tells you

Community rules

The rules the moderators published, in their order, each marked for posts, comments, or both. Moderators remove what breaks them, and repeated breaks can get an account banned from the community.

Post types

Text, images, video, links, galleries, and polls. Reddit's post form leaves out a type the community turned off, so a post of that type cannot be submitted there.

Post flair

Labels the community sorts posts by. When a flair is required, Reddit refuses the post until you pick one of the listed flairs.

Tags

The NSFW, Spoiler, and Brand affiliate tags the post form offers. Communities often require them for adult content, story details, and paid partnerships.

Who can post

Public communities take posts from anyone who follows the rules. In restricted ones only approved users can post, and archived ones take no new posts.

Posting guidelines

A note the moderators put above the post form, often with a title format or a link to the wiki. Treat it as part of the rules.

Before you post

How to post within a community's rules

Most removed posts break a rule the author skipped. A minute with the rules keeps the post up and the account in good standing with the moderators.

  1. 1

    Read every rule

    Look for limits on self-promotion, title formats, required sources, and topics allowed only on certain days.

  2. 2

    Pick a post type the community takes

    Share a link, an image, or a video only where that type is allowed, and keep galleries and polls to communities that offer them.

  3. 3

    Choose the flair that fits

    When a flair is required, pick the one that describes the post. Moderators move or remove posts with the wrong flair.

  4. 4

    Tag NSFW content and spoilers

    Mark adult content and plot details, so readers know what they open and moderators have no reason to remove the post.

  5. 5

    Expect filters you cannot see

    Many communities also filter posts by account age, karma, or keywords through AutoModerator. Reddit does not publish those settings, so a post from a new account may wait for review.

  6. 6

    Space your posts out

    The same post in many communities within minutes looks like spam to Reddit and to moderators. Write each post for its community and leave time between them.
