###2. Posts should be on topic.

Posts should be about news, culture, and life in Korea. They may be removed if linked content is not specifically about Korea. This can include translation requests, celebrity news, music videos, tech news, etc, esp. if they have no larger relevance to Korea.

###3. Check before posting a question.

Check the Wiki, FAQ, browse the front page, or use the search box to see if a relevant post was made. Question posts may be removed if they can be answered on a Google search within two~ish pages of results. Ask a mod, the general discussion thread, or a chatroom for help.

###4. Don't editorialize news posts.

Titles for news posts should ideally be as close to the title of the report as possible. Summarizing an article in the title is ok, but keep it free of opinion, commentary, or loaded language not contained in the article.

###5. Post in English or Korean.

Although this subreddit is about Korea, its users are primarily English speakers. We welcome Korean language links, but we encourage Korean language posts to have an objective, English summary in the comments.

###6. No flooding of posts.

In order to prevent any one user from flooding the subreddit, excessively(more than two in 12 hours) posting is prohibited.
To prevent redundancies, posts may be removed if they don't provide sufficient and additional information.

###7. No advertisement posts.

No posts for jobs, looking for jobs, renting an apartment, items for sale, flight volunteers, surveys, etc.
