Subreddit Rules

Reddiquette is required - Avoid flame wars and vote complaining. Trolling, insults, brigading, or antagonism towards the subreddit participants, the moderators, or even the community itself may result in a ban. Instead of bashing, share sources and accept when your positions are going to differ. Walk away if something angers you.
Self-promotion is HIGHLY restricted. This sub is for sharing field recordings and discussing them, not for hyping or propping up your ventures / projects.
- The Share Mine community post is the ONLY place in the sub where you may discuss or link to your website, article, design, blog, video, podcast, app, tool, or anything else by you, about you, or for you or conduct appeals for money, sales, market or product research / surveys (even if there is no cost involved)
- If you are unsure, use the pinned Share Mine post
- No spam / promo accounts whose sole or primary activity on reddit is discussing or linking to things they are affiliated with
- --->>> NO exceptions and NO appeals. Violations of this rule, attempts to end run it, or bad faith appeals / inquiries about it will result in a permanent ban
No YouTube - Due to the frequency and persistence of problems involved with youtube content here (including spam / promotion, rights issues, poor product quality, and extreme bad faith engagement), YouTube links and references to it are no longer allowed in this subreddit.
Link issues

No URLs in post titles
Direct links only - do not submit referral links, hidden links, or links via third party services

New and Low / Negative Karma accounts are restricted - New accounts may not post in this subreddit but may participate in the comments of other posts while they get to know the subreddit. Accounts with negative karma may not post or comment here.
No bootlegging / piracy - No posts or discussion pertaining to recordings of a broadcast, presentation, live performance, or any other scenario which may involve content rights. No exceptions, including claims you have artist / owner approval. Attempts to discuss bootlegging, capture without consent, and other forms of content abuse as well as discussion of related situations, methods and techniques are not allowed and can result in a ban
