In particular, don't use any tools that monitor Reddit and then respond with an AI comment. The world doesn't need more of that. Solve a real problem instead.

or Link DropsPosts or comments whose primary purpose is driving traffic to your site, app, newsletter, YouTube channel, course, or DiscordNo linking your own product as a "resource" in someone else's thread, or Affiliate Links of any kind.

Rule 2: Minimum Effort RequiredEvery post must demonstrate that you've done some thinking before asking the community to do thinking for you.Auto-remove triggers:Posts under 150 words (excluding flair-specific templates)

Posts with no body text (title-only)"What business should I start?" without specific constraints, skills, or context"Is this a good idea?" with a one-sentence descriptionThe test: Could a stranger give you useful, specific feedback based on what you wrote? If not, it's too vague.

Rule 3: Use the Right

Flair

Posting templates are recommended.You don't have to follow it rigidly, but your post must cover the key elements. Posts without flairs or with obviously wrong flairs will be removed and you'll be asked to repost.

Rule 4: Constructive Feedback OnlyWhat's not allowed:"This will never work" without explaining whyPersonal attacks on the poster"Just Google it" or similarly dismissive responsesSarcasm as a substitute for critiqueWhat IS expected:If you think an idea is flawed, explain the specific flaw (market size, unit economics, competitive moat, customer acquisition, etc.)

If you have experience that's relevant, share itAsk clarifying questions before dismissing

Rule 5: No "Idea Guy Looking for a Developer" Posts

This is not a co-founder matching sub. Posts that are essentially "I have an idea, who wants to build it for equity" will be removed.

Rule 8: English Only, No AI-Generated Posts

Posts must be in English. Posts that are clearly generated wholesale by ChatGPT/Claude/etc. with no human editing or original thought will be removed. Using AI as a tool to help structure your thinking is fine...having it think for you is not.
