r/Instagram 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. 1.Follow the Instagram TOS

   Enforcement varies

   Please follow the Instagram TOS while posting here. Posting about things that violate the TOS will get your post removed and possibly get you banned.

2. 2.No buying/selling

   Enforcement varies

   Please DO NOT post links to sites where you can buy followers, likes, or views; or services that sell these things. This includes sites that exchange tokens or coins for followers or likes. This also includes reviews of sites that sell followers, likes, or views. These are against the Instagram ToS. Don't post anything for sale here. **We are not a marketplace.**

3. 3.No hacking/attacking/insult/report/spam/prank/doxxing requests or attempts on yourself or others

   Enforcement varies

   Do not ask Reddit users to hack/attack/insult/report/spam/prank/doxx another user (or your own account) on either Reddit or Instagram. When posting screenshots please remove all visible usernames and profile pictures. Leaving an IG user's username for others to report is against the rules here and on reddit. We do not condone witch-hunting. Yes IG is awful at reviewing reports and removing rule-breaking accounts, but that does not turn this subreddit into the team to handle it.

4. 4.No threads with 'follow me' requests

   Enforced automatically

   There is a weekly Introduction thread that will be stickied where you can introduce yourself and your profile and what you can do. You can post in every thread as many weeks in a row. Make it creative and introduce yourself, tell us what type of pictures you take etc. Because of the weekly Introduction thread, Automoderator will automatically remove any 'Follow me, follow train, etc' type threads to keep the subreddit free of lots of spam posts. Feel free to share your pictures though!

5. 5.Remember the Reddiquette

   Enforcement varies

   We strongly encourage users to follow [Reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette). Mods will remove posts and comments at their discretion if they feel that a user is not following it.

6. 6.No self-promotion, F4F, S4S, C4C, L4L, giveaways, hacking services, ban/unban, verification, etc

   Enforcement varies

   This includes growth methods, ebooks, courses, or anything of the sort.

7. 7.No advertising for engagement groups or pods

   Enforcement varies

   In the Instagram TOS it states: Foster meaningful and genuine interactions. Help us stay spam-free by not artificially collecting likes, followers, or shares, posting repetitive comments or content, or repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent. Engagement groups and PODs directly conflict this rule.

8. 8.No spam of comments and content

   Enforcement varies

   No rickrolls, no "die normies", no "reddit good instagram bad", no asking "who is she/what's his/her IG?", etc. No asking for votes for a contest.

9. 9.No posts asking for help to identify/find a certain post, account, user, or filter.

   Enforcement varies

   We are not your Google. Search online for it or use the search function on Reddit.

10. 10.Do not message mods personally.

    Enforcement varies

    This will result in a ban.

11. 11.If you're going to pass it as fact, be ready to prove it.

    Enforcement varies

12. 12.No petitions and no surveys

    Enforcement varies

    They won't work and are instead a great way to farm user information. No surveys.

13. 13.No NSFW content

    Enforcement varies

    We are not an NSFW subreddit. Do not post NSFW content. Do not try to circumvent this rule by tagging it NSFW.

14. 14.No discussion of politics or divisive social issues

    Enforcement varies

    We are not a political/social issue subreddit.

15. 15.No hate speech

    Enforcement varies

    Using hate speech is against our rules and Reddits rules.

r/Instagram 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.
