No Spam
If most of your posts and comments are to your own projects, then you're taking advantage of our community and spamming. Please make sure you submit other things and participate on other people's posts. If you think your post might be considered spam, message the mods for approval first. There are no petitions allowed on the sub either.

No Reposting
Reposts will be removed, please search before you post. If you want to post another view of the same story, we ask that you contribute it to the comments of the original post. If there is a megathread about a popular story, please add your submission there. Should the original post be removed by a mod then a subsequent repost is not considered a violation of this rule.

Political Discourse

Political Discourse
Politics are fine but state your case, explain why you hold the positions that you do and debate with civility.
Posts and comments meant solely to troll or enrage people, and those that are little more than campaign ads or slogans do nothing to contribute to a healthy debate and will therefore be removed.
Petitions, polls, gofundmes and the like will also be removed in most cases.
AMAs by Political figures are generally exempt from this rule.

No old news, biased sources, editorialized titles, or news tweets
News articles are fine, but must be no older than one month. Your post title must match the article title. You are free to editorialize in a separate comment. Articles posted from biased or secondary sources will be reviewed and accepted/removed upon moderator discretion. Sites with hard leaning bias will be removed immediately. Additionally please use actual articles and not Tweets. Examples of trusted sources: Reuters/AP/NPR/NBC/ABC/CBS/BBC

No confrontational user pings

No confrontational user pings
Use username pings (e.g. u/username in a comment) sparingly and in a non-confrontational manner. If you're considering pinging someone to get their attention on something that they might be interested in, that's fine. If you're considering pinging someone to prove a point or continue debate, that's not ok. Excessive username pings can be considered to be harassment and may be reported to the reddit admins.

Selling or looking for a product, housing, a service or a job? Give your local subreddit a try. There may even be a specific one like r/austinclassifieds or r/houstonclassifieds.
Otherwise try your local craigslist or apartments.com because this ain't that.
GoFundMe and similar are also not allowed except in extremely rare circumstances and require mod approval.
