Estimated survival rate
99%
of 431 recent r/DoesAnybodyElse posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.
How this is measured
Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Oct 21, 2026.
r/DoesAnybodyElse rules: what actually gets removed
Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.
1.No Opinions, Questions or Facts
Enforcement variesDo not take opinions ("DAE think Charlie Sheen sucks"), questions ("DAE live in Texas?"), and/or facts ("DAE know that you can use Windows+L to lock your computer?") and manipulate the phrasing to make it a DAE post. This includes posting to ask for advice.
2.Be civil
Enforcement variesWe welcome discussions of all kinds and ask that you be civil. No arguing, rudeness, name-calling, trolling etc…
3.No Low Effort Posts or Comments
Enforcement variesAn example of a low-effort post would be: "DAE breathe?” An example of a low-effort comment would be “yes” or “no”
4.No politics
Enforcement variesTo maintain a positive and inclusive environment, we ask that you avoid political discussions, posts, and comments.
5.No self-harm, suicidal or self-hate posts
Enforcement variesSelf-hate and suicidal posts are not allowed. Suggesting others or yourself should self-harm will be a permanent ban from this subreddit. There's /r/suicidewatch where well-meaning and sympathetic people will try and help, but be aware they aren't trained. Alternatively, we recommend the befrienders website is a global list of local suicide help charities.
6.Adhere to the Reddit Content Policy
Enforcement variesThis includes no: spamming, ban evasion, vote manipulation, harassment, bullying, threats of violence, doxing, impersonation, to name a few. Please review the Reddit content policy for more details.
r/DoesAnybodyElse does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.
Can you self-promote in r/DoesAnybodyElse?
r/DoesAnybodyElse does not state a clear self-promo policy in its rules. Treat that as caution, not permission: mods remove promo at their discretion, and Reddit's sitewide spam filter still applies. A value-first post that mentions your project beats a launch-style post here.

What gets removed in r/DoesAnybodyElse
Low karma or a new account
r/DoesAnybodyElse publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.
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/DoesAnybodyElse posting questions
Can I post links in r/DoesAnybodyElse?
No. r/DoesAnybodyElse accepts text posts only, so a link-only submission is rejected at the door. You can usually mention a link inside the body text, but the sub's rules on self-promotion still apply to it. Check your draft against the rules before posting.
Does r/DoesAnybodyElse require karma to post?
r/DoesAnybodyElse 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/DoesAnybodyElse strict?
Relaxed, by our estimate (6/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 6 rules, and its stated gates). About 1% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.
What is the best time to post in r/DoesAnybodyElse?
Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Tuesday 11pm UTC and Sunday 3pm 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/DoesAnybodyElse?
The most common reasons are civility violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 1% of r/DoesAnybodyElse posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
