r/hardware rules

  1. 1.

    Follow the Reddit Content Policy rules

    You can find them [here](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy). TL;DR: If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all. Insults and personal attacks aren't welcome here

  2. 2.

    Posts should be about hardware

    Posts should be about hardware news, reviews, and technical discussion.

  3. 3.

    No editorializing titles

    Please use the "suggest title" button for link submissions, or copy the title of the original link. Do NOT editorialize the title of the submission; (minor) changes for clarity may be acceptable if the original title is clickbait, or failed to summarize its actual content.

  4. 4.

    No memes or direct links to images

    Memes, direct image links, and low effort content will be removed. Images submitted as self posts must include an informative description for context. Top level comments must be substantive and contain more than 20 characters.

  5. 5.

    No tech support or PC building questions

    These belong in /r/techsupport, /r/buildapc or another relevant tech subreddit. If your post asks a question about a specific product or need, it probably belongs elsewhere. This includes 'What should I buy?', 'Does a ____ do what I need?', 'How much is _____ worth?' and 'How long until (something obvious) happens?' type questions.

  6. 6.

    Serious and intelligent discussion

    We allow discussion posts on relevant topics to hardware; there should however be at least background information and relevancy to demonstrate such a discussion is worthwhile. Low effort posts such as "What is ______ and what does it do?" is not acceptable.

  7. 7.

    Rumor Policy

    No unsubstantiated rumors or hearsay - Rumors or other claims/information not directly from official sources must have evidence to support them. Any rumor or claim that is just a statement without supporting evidence will be removed.

  8. 8.

    Original source policy

    Content submitted should be of original source, or at least contain partially original reporting on top of existing information. Exceptions can be made for content in foreign language, pay-walled content, or any other exceptional cases. Please contact the moderators through modmail if you have questions.

  9. 9.

    Spam and self promotion policy

    Spam and self promotion are not allowed. Users who want to post links to their website should be aware of the [Reddit definition of spam](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/faq#wiki_what_constitutes_spam.3F) and read [this article](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) concerning self promotion on Reddit. The 10% rule is enforced on /r/hardware; repeat offenders and/or your website or channel maybe banned.

  10. 10.
