Rule summary
- Be Civil: You don't need to agree with everything, but arguments have to remain polite and respectful. If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, then don't comment it either. Any insults and personal attacks will be removed at a moderator's discretion.
- No Spam or Referral Links: Spam and referral links will result in a ban. Company or solution recommendations are only allowed by customers of what is being recommended. Recommendations by users working for or related to what they are recommending are not allowed unless the post is tagged as such and is made with prior moderator approval.
- Posts Must Be Relevant: Please keep posts and discussion relevant to AML and AML compliance.
- No low-effort posts: Search the subreddit to make sure that your question has not been asked already, before you post. All posts should have a body text and a meaningful title that gives an idea about the post content. All links should include accompanying text to provide context about why the link is being shared
Works well
- A written breakdown of a real AML compliance challenge, with a meaningful title and full body text.
- A specific question about an AML topic, posted only after searching the subreddit to confirm it is new.
- A link to a relevant resource, framed by accompanying text that explains why you are sharing it.
- A tagged post about your own compliance solution, made only after you received prior moderator approval.
- A polite comment that adds genuine AML expertise to someone else's discussion.
Avoid
- Dropping referral links, which the rules say results in a ban.
- Recommending your own product without prior moderator approval and a disclosure tag.
- Posting about a topic with no connection to AML or AML compliance.
- Sharing a bare link with no accompanying text that explains the context.
- Asking a question that has already been asked in the subreddit.
- Writing a title that gives no idea what the post is about, or posting with no body text at all.
What r/AMLCompliance Is For
This community is for people interested in anti-money laundering, and the description names the Bank Secrecy Act and The USA PATRIOT Act as core topics, plus the wider war on global financial crime. The “Posts Must Be Relevant” rule keeps everything tied to AML and AML compliance specifically. So the room is full of people who care about compliance rules, financial crime, and how to fight money laundering. If your product or topic is not connected to AML or AML compliance, this is not your community.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides everything for a founder is “No Spam or Referral Links”, because referral links can get you banned, and recommendations by users working for or related to what they recommend are not allowed unless the post is tagged as such and made with prior moderator approval. “Posts Must Be Relevant” keeps every post tied to AML and AML compliance, so a generic marketing post dies here. “No low-effort posts” means you search the subreddit first, write a meaningful title, add body text, and give any link accompanying text that explains why you are sharing it. “Be Civil” matters mostly in comments, where arguments have to stay polite and respectful.
What To Post
A good post here starts with something genuinely useful about AML or AML compliance, written in your own words, with a title that says what the post is about and a body that carries real substance. If you share a link, add accompanying text that explains why you are sharing it. Before you post, search the subreddit to check that your question or topic has not been asked already. If you want to mention your own company or product, contact the moderators first, get prior approval, and tag the post as a recommendation from someone related to it. One more thing worth knowing: the rule allows recommendations by customers of a product, so earned word of mouth from real users is the path that works here, not founder promotion.
What To Avoid
Never drop a referral link, because spam and referral links result in a ban. Never recommend your own product or one you are related to without prior moderator approval and a tag that discloses the relationship. Do not post anything off topic from AML and AML compliance. Do not post a bare link with no context, a question the subreddit has already answered, or a post with no body text or a meaningless title. And keep comments civil, since insults and personal attacks get removed.
