r/running rules

  1. 1.

    Rule #1 - Not Following Reddiquette/Posting Proc.

    Follow proper Reddiquette [Keep it civil!] and the subreddit's Posting Procedures [post flair, using Daily/Weekly Threads]. The moderation team reserves the right to remove content or restrict user posting privileges as necessary.

  2. 2.

    Rule #2 - Posts must be informative for a broad audience.

    Posts need to generate high-quality, meaningful discussion and/or information that a wide variety of users can then benefit from. Low-quality posts, recent reposts, chronically repetitive posts, posts not directly related to running, and questions that are easily answered by FAQ, searching r/running, or Google are subject to removal at the moderation team's discretion. Please keep in mind, some questions can't be answered or cannot be answered with the information provided.

  3. 3.

    Rule #3 - No self-promotion, advertising, spam, or surveys.

    No self-promotion (including links to personal blogs, social media, Youtube channel, etc.), advertising, spam, or surveys. This includes giveaways, charity events, and promotional discounts.

  4. 4.

    Do not post elite race results in the title of posts. This includes the announcing of world records in titles.

  5. 5.

    Rule #5 - Please make your title descriptive

    This means letting readers know roughly what your post will be about before they click. “Question” is not a good title for a post. Neither is “Help needed”. Do not use excessive emoji characters in the titles of posts.

  6. 6.

    Rule #6 - No sharing of other’s personal information.

    Displaying detailed personal information of anyone other than yourself is prohibited. Submission of content focused on ousting cheaters will be removed at the moderation team's discretion.

    Rule #7 - Do not solicit medical advice

    Do not solicit medical advice. This includes 'Has anyone else experienced this injury?' type posts.

  8. 8.

    Rule #8 - Submissions must be running-related.

    Do not submit photos, videos, or memes that add nothing to the discussion.

  9. 9.

    Rule #9 - No individual posts highlighting bodily functions.

    The 'TMI Rule' - Individual posts highlighting bodily functions such as bowel movements will be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

  10. 10.

    Rule #10 - Links to articles/videos must include a discussion starting statement.

    When posting articles, please include some text to start a discussion about the article.
