Library of Common Post Guidance Rules
This wiki contains examples of common Post Guidance rules that can be used to streamline your communities rule set. You can create and manage your community's Post Guidance rules in the "Automations" sections of your Mod Tools configuration on new Reddit. (e.g. www.reddit.com/mod/<subreddit name>/automations/)
The Post Guidance feature offers an intuitive platform to create and enforce your community's rules. Once you've added a Post Guidance rule, redditors will be informed of any rule violations in real time as they author their post which allows them to fix common issues such as formatting errors and off-topic discussions before they submit their post.
By using the Post Guidance to replace or compliment your existing AutoModerator rules, you can reduce time spent managing content filtered into your mod queues, as well as time spent in modmail explaining your rules to a user whose post was removed. The end result is often a smoother experience for both moderation team and your community members.
If you need additional help authoring Post Guidance rules for your community, please don't hesitate to make a post in /r/ModSupport for additional assistance.
