r/OpenAI 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.Rule 1: Relevance

   Removed by moderators

   Keep content posted relevant to OpenAI, or the discussion of Artificial Intelligence. Don’t spam, don’t start arguments, toxicity, or create chaotic and divisive posts regarding non-OpenAI or generally off-topic discussion. Follow Reddiquette and we use mod discretion. Complaints are fine, but please don’t only say vague things or rant without saying anything substantial. Explain what is going wrong, with appropriate clear feedback or constructive criticism. You may get help to fix your issue.

2. 2.Rule 2: Be Civil

   Enforcement varies

   Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience- we want this to be a welcoming and inclusive community. No hate speech/rhetoric, discrimination, bigotry, or prejudices. Be respectful. Don’t start or end conversations being rude to users. No harassing. No provoking, ‘gotchas’, and other bad faith behaviors or discourse. If it looks like you’re rabble-rousing, baiting, or trolling, especially if you have no other or limited history here we will use our discretion.

3. 3.Rule 3: Limit Self-Promotion

   Enforcement varies

   The 1/10th rule is a good guideline: self-promotion/projects/advertising should not be more than 10% of your content here. Full rule here: https://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/wiki/guidelines/selfpromo/ Self-promotional direct link posts to projects are not allowed. If you are promoting your own project, context must be provided in a text post, such as the value and uses of your project. This sub is prone to scams, spam, and excessive promo. We want participation first for you to advertise.

4. 4.Rule 4: No Selling

   Enforcement varies

   Do not advertise the sale or exchange of OpenAI accounts, credentials, and no selling of your products or anything else. Such sales are completely unenforceable and could be scams, this is a forum not a shopping site. No asking to use accounts, etc. Also, no crypto posts unless it’s officially from OpenAI. No job offers. No selling your own products or other unverifiable content.

5. 5.Rule 5: No Low-Quality Content

   Enforcement varies

   Comments or posts that consists solely of low-quality/effort content (memes, pun threads, etc) will be removed at our discretion. If a post is at zero or few upvotes after a while, it may be removed. This includes posting the same headline/topic that was posted and discussed recently. Use the search feature first or the ‘New’ subreddit feed to avoid repetition. Don’t misuse flairs or media in comments. Remember this is an unofficially-run subreddit when posting.

6. 6.Rule 6: Concise, Accurate Titles

   Removed by moderators

   Post titles that are misleading or editorialized will be removed. One word, sensationalized or bait, link address in title, and other forms of low-effort titles will also be removed at mod discretion. If it’s a possible pinned post, please check for spelling mistakes. Thank you. Don’t start “P.S. Here’s my…” promo-baiting official articles again, please. Also includes screencap username-baiting your social accounts about official news. Follow rule 3.

7. 7.Rule 7: NSFW Content

   Enforcement varies

   Discussion or news about how it relates to AI or OpenAI is fine, just no erotic content, graphic violence, etc.

8. 8.Rule 8: AutoMod

   Enforced automatically

   If you're about to Modmail us about your post being removed when you feel you've followed the other rules, it's most likely because of AutoMod. Basically it helps combat spammers, spambots, scammers, and trolls- this sub is excessively prone to those. Also, link your post or comment in the Modmail for review. Thanks. And feel free to message any subreddit improvement suggestions as well.

r/OpenAI 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.
