#Rules

Karma begging: Don’t ask, beg, or imply, for free karma. Doing so will get you banned.

No spam: Post only relevant and discussion-provoking content. Low effort posts are not allowed. Promotional/commercial content and shitposts will get you banned.

Don't be a dick: Rudeness is not tolerated and will result in corrective action. Treat others with basic decency. No personal attacks, shill accusations, hate-speech, flaming, baiting, trolling, witch-hunting, or unsubstantiated accusations. Racial and homophobic comments will be removed. Threats of violence will result in a ban.

Free Karma Posts: Offering to give free Karma will not be tolerated. Doing so will result in a ban.

Free Karma Subreddits: Directing users to and/or mentioning any free karma subreddit by name are not allowed and are bannable offenses.

Flex Friday: Flexing is only allowed on Fridays. See this post for more information.

Off-topic posts: All posts must be directly related to reddit karma. Off-topic posts will be treated as spam and removed, with a possible ban.

FAQ: Don't ask questions like "what is karma?" "How does karma work?" "How can I get karma?" or anything that's answered in the FAQ.

All rants must be unique: Rants about karma and karma restrictions should include more information or your personal experience instead of the general "This is annoying" rant. Any vague or general rants will be removed.

No recruiting people with karma to post things for you: This is an information subreddit, not a bulletin board on which to put up "help wanted" posters and the like.
