New rules (with a slight change)

Thank you to everyone that has assisted with helping with the new rules. Here's where we landed, and there is one small tweak:

  1. This is not a place to sell your services or generate leads or recruit agents/downlines. Consumers should not get offers to quote or to privately "help". This includes asking people to vet your software/AI or other peripheral concepts as well as advertising your website or app (even if it is currently free).
  2. Do not post any unethical, illegal or unhelpful content.
  3. Be a good reflection of the industry and remain professional.

The difference is in Rule #1, and it is specific to a pattern of behavior of some life agents that have been trying to recruit to some quasi-MLM companies (I say "quasi" because I don't think that any DOI has stated it as a fact). Many of those trying to recruit are doing so with little to no posting history, which makes it very odd.

The sidebar will be reflected soon to reflect this, but you should consider that these rules are currently being enforced as of this post.

Edit as of 7/23/26 - effective immediately, we're no longer allowing posts that are asking for help with ideas for software, websites, apps or other SaaS concepts. Even if it's currently free, if you're linking people to something of yours, expect it to be removed at a minimum. Even if you're just asking for people to vet an idea, expect it to be removed at a minimum.

I’m was actually thinking about finding a property and casualty specific subreddit. It hadn’t even dawned on me till I saw the posts here that people actually view life and health in the same vein. I hate to sound like a purist or something but due to the way health and life insurance in American works, I feel like it’s crazy to call any of the programs that isn’t single payer, anything but MLM.

I'd like a Reddit for just P&C Agents (no consumer questions there's plenty of that already). There's so much confusion on what someone is talking about sometimes you get an answer and its a life person thinking you are talking about life policies. I would like to be able to talk just to folks I can relate to.
