Rule 2: Post must be looking for a subreddit.
You must post a clear, easy to understand request for a subreddit. There are certain technical exceptions to this that will arise on a case-by-case basis but if your post is asking for anything other than a subreddit, or if the request is very confusing or unclear, it may be removed.
3
Rule 3: No NSFW posts.
NSFW posts are not allowed unless you have made a request in r/NSFW411 and they were unable to answer your question. If this is the case, please let us know in the modmail. Moderators will remove NSFW posts at their discretion.

Rule 4: No posting personal information.
Absolutely no posting of personal information or requests for personal information of anyone else, including name, location and any other personally-identifiable information

Rule 5: Don't tell users to "just Google it".
Do not suggest only that the user should use search engines. Our users are here for our help, not sarcastic responses that they should do it themselves. If you have nothing else to say other than to check a search engine, please refrain from commenting and leave the thread to others to assist with.

Rule 6: No joke / troll / irrelevant suggestions.
Absolutely no joke or troll suggestions and / or posts. Those that suggest sarcastic, off-topic, trolling or purely incorrect subreddits to those that are genuinely seeking help, or those that make joking / trolling posts may be temporarily banned without warning.
This especially includes posts such as "a subreddit to find subreddits".
An example of a joke suggestion would be a response suggesting r/atheism to a user requesting Christian subreddits.

Rule 7: No spam.
Spammers and clickbaiters will be swiftly removed. This includes subreddit self-promotion. Please use r/promoteareddit, r/promotereddit or r/newreddits to advertise the sub you just made.

Rule 8: No requests for illegal or prohibited stuff.
It is against Reddit's terms of service to request or provide methods to exchange or purchase illegal or prohibited goods or services.

When someone's found a subreddit that fits your criteria, you may either thank them in your reply which will automatically flair your post, or you may flair your post manually.
How do I flair my post?
When making a new post, click on the flair icon under the text window and select the "Unanswered" flair.
