Our full rules Reddiquette

Comment Guidelines:


Be civil	Treat others with basic decency. No personal attacks, shill accusations, hate-speech, flaming, baiting, trolling, witch-hunting, or unsubstantiated accusations. Threats of violence will result in a ban. More Info.
Do not post users' personal information.	Users who violate this rule will be banned on sight. Witch-hunting and giving out private personal details of other people can result in unexpected and potentially serious consequences for the individual targeted. More Info.
Vote based on quality, not opinion.	Political discussion requires varied opinions. Well written and interesting content can be worthwhile, even if you disagree with it. Downvote only if you think a comment/post does not contribute to the thread it is posted in or if it is off-topic in /r/politics. More Info.
Do not manipulate comments and posts via group voting.	Manipulating comments and posts via group voting is against reddit TOS. More Info.

Submission Guidelines:

Post titles must be the exact headline from the article.	Your headline must be comprised only of the exact copied and pasted headline of the article. More Info.
Submissions must be an original source.	An article must contain significant analysis and original content--not just a few links of text among chunks of copy and pasted material. Content is considered rehosted when a publication takes the majority of their content from another website and reposts it in order to get the traffic and collect ad revenue. More Info.
Articles must be written in English	An article must be primarily written in English for us to be able to moderate it and enforce our rules in a fair and unbiased manner. More Info.
Spam is bad!	If 33% or more of your submissions are from a single website, you will be banned as a spammer. More Info.
Submissions must be articles, videos or sound clips.	We disallow solicitation of users (petitions, polls, requests for money, etc.), personal blogs, satire, images, social media content (Facebook, twitter, tumblr, LinkedIn, etc.), wikis, memes, and political advertisements. More info: Content type rules.
Do not use "BREAKING" or ALL CAPS in titles.	The ALL CAPS and 'Breaking' rule is applied even when the actual title of the article is in all caps or contains the word 'Breaking'. This rule may be applied to other single word declarative and/or sensational expressions, such as 'EXCLUSIVE:' or 'HOT:'. More Info.
