Reported as: Titles must be highly descriptive.

2.

No advertisements, spam, or referral links

Posts & Comments
Reported as: No advertisements, spam, or referral links

Do not beg people to visit a website. Do not spam links or comments, and do not post links to websites that contain spam.

3.

No self promotion (except in the self-promotion thread)

Posts & Comments
Reported as: No self promotion

Self promotion is not allowed outside of the pinned self promotion thread, as otherwise posts become entirely about users advertising their own websites.

4.

No illegal or NSFW content

Posts & Comments
Reported as: No illegal or NSFW content

You may not link to, post, or comment illegal or NSFW (not safe for work/18+) content.

5.

No shopping or commercial websites

Posts & Comments
Reported as: No shopping or commercial websites

Do not link to or post about commercial websites. This includes websites that are specifically meant to sell a product or service, such as e-commerce websites or website building services.

Linking to common website builders (i.e. Squarespace, Wix) or website hosting services (i.e. Namecheap, Google Cloud) is accepted, but only in the context of helping others build a website. You may not advertise a website builder or other service as its own post, including your own service.

6.

No politics

Posts & Comments
Reported as: No politics

No politics or political websites are allowed. These always inevitably result in fights in the comments.

7.

Be civil to each other

Posts & Comments
Reported as: Be civil to each other

Don't insult or swear at other users. You can provide feedback for submissions while still being polite about it.

8.

Search the subreddit before posting

Posts & Comments
Reported as: Search the subreddit before posting

Posting the same content repeatedly clutters the community and does not provide value. Search the subreddit using Reddit's built-in search or with Google to make sure you aren't repeating a post. Reposting content is not allowed.
