What gets removed in r/AbroadEdge
Self-promotion
r/AbroadEdge bans self-promo outright. Product links, launch posts, and thinly framed "feedback" posts are removed.
Low karma or a new account
r/AbroadEdge publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.
AI-generated content
r/AbroadEdge removes content it judges to be AI-generated. Obvious AI phrasing in a draft raises removal risk even when a human wrote most of it.
Reddit's sitewide spam filter
A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.
A shadowbanned account
If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/AbroadEdge posting questions
Can I post links in r/AbroadEdge?
Yes. r/AbroadEdge accepts link posts. The usual sitewide traps still apply: URL shorteners, affiliate parameters, and brand-new domains get filtered fast, and promotional links are judged against the sub's self-promo rules. One clean link to the original source is the safe pattern.
Does r/AbroadEdge require karma to post?
r/AbroadEdge does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.
Is r/AbroadEdge strict?
Relaxed, by our estimate (21/100 on our strictness scale, from its 1 rules and stated gates; no removal sample yet). Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.
Does r/AbroadEdge allow AI-generated content?
No. r/AbroadEdge removes content it judges to be AI-generated. That includes obviously AI-phrased text even when a human edited it, so rewrite drafts in your own voice before posting here.
What is the best time to post in r/AbroadEdge?
Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Tuesday 6pm UTC and Monday 6pm UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.
Why do posts get removed in r/AbroadEdge?
The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. Many removals are silent: the post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else. Checking your draft first beats finding out after.
