r/AskEurope rules
6 rules, in the community's own words.
- 1
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.
- 2
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.
- 3
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.
- 4
No low effort and unsuitable questions.
Questions that are unsuitable will be removed as well as low effort questions. This includes overdone topics, 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.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.

What r/AskEurope Is For
This community is for asking Europeans questions about their countries. The goal is to get insights and perspectives from people living in Europe.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Submissions must be a question with a clear title, which falls under “Submissions must be a question with a clear title”. You must also follow “No low effort and unsuitable questions” and “No agenda pushing”. Furthermore, you must respect “Be polite and courteous to everybody” and avoid “No similar questions that have been asked in the last two weeks”.
What To Post
As a founder, you should frame your inquiry as a genuine question about a specific cultural or regional aspect of a European country. Keep the question open ended so that people can provide detailed answers. Always ensure your question is politically neutral and highly detailed to show effort. This approach helps you earn a place in the community instead of just spamming it.
What To Avoid
You must avoid low effort questions, yes/no-questions, joke questions, and any question that tries to push an agenda. You also cannot ask a question that has been asked in the last two weeks.
A note from Anthony
The rules here are very strict about neutrality and quality. It is clear that moderators want genuine, thoughtful questions, not quick hits. Since there are no top posts to look at, the evidence suggests that high quality and adherence to the rules are the only way to earn a place in the community.
