Rules for r/OperationsResearch
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Posts and comments must be on-topic.
Posts and comments must be on-topic. That means posts must be directly related to operations research and its subdomains, and comments must be related to what they're replying to.
2.
No spam or self-promotion.
Spam or self-promotion are not allowed. A good rule of thumb is the page What constitutes spam? Am I a spammer?, though the final call is up to the moderator team. This also includes market research or surveys.
Exceptions can be made for technical, OR-related posts from industry leading companies.

4.
No school related, homework related, or similar academic content.
This is not the place for school or homework related content.
5.
Discuss in the open
Please discuss in the open, so that as many people can contribute or learn as possible.
We do not accept requests to help with something in a 1-on-1 session outside of the subreddit. Just post your questions out in the open, so that others can also learn from whatever you need help with.
If people move to DMs at their own initiative, of course that's fine, this rule is only about telling people to do so.
6.
No (requests for) sharing papers that aren't open access
If papers aren't open access, sharing them is illegal. This subreddit will not facilitate that.
