What gets removed in r/RecruitCS

Self-promo outside the designated thread
Promotion is only allowed in once per month. A standalone promo post gets removed.
Low karma or a new account
r/RecruitCS publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size.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/RecruitCS posting questions

Can I post links in r/RecruitCS?

No. r/RecruitCS 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/RecruitCS require karma to post?

r/RecruitCS 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 That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently.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/RecruitCS strict?

Relaxed, by our estimate (15/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 7 rules, and its stated gates). About 0% 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/RecruitCS?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Tuesday 11pm UTC and Wednesday 5pm 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/RecruitCS?

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most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 0% of r/RecruitCS posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
