Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Include discussion information: Link posts need commentary, discussion context, and a clear reason to click.
- No editorialized titles: Article titles should be accurate and not misleading.
- Disclose affiliation: Self-promotion belongs in the weekly thread, and product or project affiliation must be disclosed.
- No low-effort or vendor spam: Spam, repetitive content, prompt dumps, stealth marketing, and low-value posts are removed.
Works well
- Infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, reliability, cloud, and platform-engineering questions with context.
- Technical postmortems or lessons that include what changed and why.
- Tool discussions that disclose affiliation and explain tradeoffs clearly.
- Comments that solve an operator problem without turning into vendor outreach.
Avoid
- Vendor posts outside self-promotion threads or without clear disclosure.
- Link-only posts, editorialized titles, and shortened URLs.
- Surveys, product validation, or market research without moderator approval.
- AI prompt dumps, stealth marketing, and low-effort technical takes.
