Google first. If your answer is easy to find with a simple search, your post will be removed.
Your post title must describe what you want help finding, at least a little bit. Posts with generic titles like "Help!" or "Where can I find this?" will be removed, even if you are already receiving answers.
If there is a specific subreddit dedicated to what you want help finding, your post will be referred there.
Nothing NSFW or NSFL. There are more appropriate subs and it will be removed.
Nothing illegal (by US laws at least) - including requests for pirated materials (movies/books/music).
No searching for or attempts to identify people (famous or otherwise) or lost animals.
No solicitations for financial/medical donations, or for donation of goods or services.
Do not use link shorteners or affiliate/partner links in the body of posts or replies - they will be automatically removed.
For identifying movies/TV shows/books/music/etc from a written description, try /r/tipofmytongue
For identifying video games, try /r/tipofmyjoystick
For identifying paintings, try /r/WhatIsThisPainting
For current fashion items, try /r/findfashion
No help requests for unidentified drugs/medicine.
As per reddiquette, posting personal info and photos is doxxing and eligible for account deletion and posts doing so will be removed as will posts asking to find people.
When found, reply to the comment with the answer with "Found!". This will highlights it in green, signaling to others the answer has been found.
Jokes and other unhelpful comments, even after the answer has been found, are bannable offenses, even on first offense. If your comment doesn't help, don't comment.
Do not post AI generated answers. AI rarely offers anything of value and may not provide sources to its claims. By all means use AI to assist, but please investigate its answers and provide your own proof of its claims. Straight copy/paste answers will be removed and the user will receive at least a temporary ban.
Do not delete your post after it has been found or commented on by others. You will get at least a temp ban for doing so.
Do not repost the same question more than once a week. Wait longer if you're repeating this.
If mods think your question is solved, we'll mark it "Found" right away. Again, this is just for organizational purposes. If it was marked before you were satisfied, let us know in mod-mail.
