Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Be polite and courteous to everybody.: No attacks on other users, doxxing, harassment, or trolling. Racism, discrimination or other bigotry (offensive content, hate speech, genocide denial, dehumanisation...) and endorsement of violence will not be tolerated.
- Keep comments relevant and of decent quality.: Top-level comments must answer the question that has been asked. Humorous comments are of course allowed, as long as the question is answered. Low quality comments ("shitposting") will not be accepted.
- Submissions must be a question with a clear title.: Submissions must be relevant to the subreddit. They must be a question and have the question in the title, ending with a question mark. Use the text box to clarify the question further if needed.
- No low effort and unsuitable questions.: Questions that are [unsuitable](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/wiki/unsuitable/) will be removed as well as low effort questions. This includes [overdone topics](https://reddit.com/r/AskEurope/wiki/overdone), low effort question itself, yes/no-questions, joke questions, and questions which can be easily answered using a search engine or by visiting the sites linked in the sidebar.
- No agenda pushing.: Don’t push an agenda with your questions: stay neutral. This is a politically neutral sub. You are obviously still allowed to express an opinion as an answer, as long as you respect others' opinions.
- No similar questions that have been asked in the last two weeks.: To keep questions from becoming too repetitive, questions that have been asked during the last two weeks are not allowed. Use the search bar and refrain from asking questions that have already been asked.
Works well
- Ask a specific, neutral question about consumer behavior or daily life in a European country, such as how people in your target market handle a task your product relates to.
- Use the post text box to add one or two sentences of context so locals understand why you are asking, without naming or linking your product.
- Search the subreddit before posting to confirm your question has not appeared in the last two weeks, then phrase it in a fresh way.
- Ask about regional differences across several European countries, since the community is built for cross country comparison and discussion.
Avoid
- Promoting a product or service in a post, since the subreddit exists for genuine questions about European countries and anything promotional will read as spam.
- Asking yes or no questions, joke questions, or anything you could answer with a quick search, because the rules explicitly call these out as low effort and unsuitable.
- Pushing any political angle or framing your question to steer answers toward a viewpoint, which breaks the no agenda pushing rule.
- Reposting a question that appeared in the last two weeks, since the community enforces a rolling two week duplicate check.
- Leaving the question mark out of your title or burying the question in the body, because submissions must be a clear question in the title ending with a question mark.
What r/AskEurope Is For
This community is for anyone who wants to ask Europeans questions about their countries. The public description is simple, ask Europeans questions about their countries, so the room is built around curiosity from outsiders and locals alike. The rules make clear that every submission must be a real question with a clear title ending in a question mark. People post here to learn about daily life, culture, politics, and practical differences across European countries, not to browse promotions or product launches.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that decide whether your post survives are clear. Under the rule named Be polite and courteous to everybody. you must avoid attacks, harassment, racism, and bigotry. Under the rule named Keep comments relevant and of decent quality. top level comments must actually answer the question, and low quality comments are removed. Under the rule named Submissions must be a question with a clear title. your post must be a question, the question must be in the title, and the title must end with a question mark. Under the rule named No low effort and unsuitable questions. your question must not be a yes or no question, a joke, something a search engine can answer, or an overdone topic. Under the rule named No agenda pushing. you must stay neutral and not steer the question toward a political viewpoint. Under the rule named No similar questions that have been asked in the last two weeks. you must search first and avoid repeating recent questions.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine, neutral question about something European, written clearly in the title with a question mark at the end. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, think of this as research, not promotion. Ask about a real problem your product solves for people in a specific European country, or about a cultural or practical difference that affects your market. Use the text box only to add useful context, never to pitch. Keep your tone curious and let the community educate you. If your question is honest and specific, you learn something useful and the community gets a post it actually wants to answer.
What To Avoid
Posts get removed when they break the low effort and unsuitable questions rule, which covers yes or no questions, joke questions, topics already overdone on the subreddit, and anything a search engine could answer. You also risk removal under the no agenda pushing rule if your question is framed to push a political or ideological view. Repeating a question from the last two weeks breaks the no similar questions rule. Anything that is not a clear question in the title, or that does not end with a question mark, breaks the submissions must be a question rule. Attacks, harassment, racism, and bigotry will not be tolerated under the be polite and courteous rule, and bans are likely for that behavior.

Common questions about r/AskEurope
How do I make sure my question is not removed?
Search the subreddit first to make sure it has not been asked in the last two weeks, keep it neutral with no political angle, and make sure it cannot be answered with a quick search.
Are humorous or lighthearted questions allowed?
Yes, as long as the question itself is still answered. Humor is allowed but low quality shitposting is not.
Can I include a link to my website in the post?
The rules do not mention links or self promotion, so there is no stated exception. Treat any promotion as off limits.
