r/ClassActionSettlement rules
8 rules, in the community's own words.
- 1
No Self-Promotion
This subreddit is for sharing legitimate class action settlements, updates, and questions - not promoting businesses, platforms, or services. Promotional content is not permitted. Coordinated or repetitive promotion (e.g. similar endorsements from low-activity accounts in a short period) will be treated as spam and removed or banned. Promotion of such services, including attorney advertising or lead generation platforms (directly or indirectly), will result in a ban.
- 2
No Paid Services or Tools
Promotion of paid apps, tools, services, or subscription-based platforms is not permitted. This includes promotion (e.g. “reviews,” “recommendations,” or claiming personal success with a paid service). This community is focused on free, accessible class action settlement information only. Content referencing paid platforms or services may be removed and may result in a ban.
- 3
Stay on Topic
Posts must relate to class action settlements, including active claims, deadlines, payouts, eligibility, or verified updates. Off-topic content or general discussions not related to settlements may be removed.
- 4
Use Clear Post Details
Posts must include clear information such as the settlement name, status, deadline if known, and key details about eligibility or payout. Low-effort, vague, or incomplete posts may be removed.
- 5
No Spam or Duplicate Posts
Do not spam or repost the same settlement or content repeatedly. Duplicate, low-effort, or repetitive posts may be removed to keep the subreddit useful and organized.
- 6
No Misleading Information
Do not post fake settlements, incorrect deadlines, exaggerated payouts, or misleading claim information. Posts must be accurate and based on verifiable sources.
- 7
Be Respectful
No harassment, abuse, hate speech, or toxic behavior. Do not scam, mislead, or attempt to take advantage of other users. Requests for sensitive personal information (e.g. SSN, banking details) are strictly prohibited.
- 8
No Coordinated or Low-Credibility Promotion
Repetitive or coordinated comments and posts promoting the same service or brand, particularly from new or low-karma accounts, are not allowed. These will be treated as spam and may result in bans.

Avoid
- Posting any form of self promotion, including advertising businesses or services, because of the “No Self-Promotion” rule.

What r/ClassActionSettlement Is For
This community is the go-to hub for class action settlements. It is a place to share active claims, payout updates, deadlines, and legit free claim sources. The main purpose is to help everyone out and make sure nobody misses out on what they are owed.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The most important rules for anyone posting are “No Self-Promotion”, “No Paid Services or Tools”, “Stay on Topic”, “No Spam or Duplicate Posts”, “No Misleading Information”, “Be Respectful”, and “No Coordinated or Low-Credibility Promotion”. These rules ensure the subreddit stays focused on legitimate, free settlement information.
What To Post
For respectful marketing, you should focus on sharing verified, accurate information about a class action settlement. A good post should be purely informational, detailing a settlement's name, its current status, any known deadlines, and key eligibility details. The content must be free and accessible information only.
What To Avoid
You must avoid posting anything that is off topic, which means it cannot be general discussion not related to settlements. You must also avoid low-effort or vague posts, and you must never post fake or misleading claim information.
A note from Anthony
The rules here are incredibly strict about promotion, which makes sense since this community is focused on helping people get what they are owed. The emphasis on only sharing free, accessible information is a major filter. Since there are no top posts observed, it suggests the community values highly accurate and useful information over viral content.
