Can I share a link to my product or blog post?
No. “Do not post any links.” bans links to external content, and the only exception is stickied themed threads the moderators create themselves.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Promote discussion. No one-liners or quotes.: Include a few sentences about where you want the discussion to go, no matter what you are posting. Do not create low-effort posts, or repost old content as your own.
- Care about quality and respect.: Be helpful, constructive, and civil. No insults, personal attacks, or hostile comments. Disagreements are fine, but keep them respectful and focused on ideas.
- Always include a flair in your post title.: Use a tag (like [Question], [Method], [Plan]) to help readers understand the purpose of your post. Posts without proper flair may be removed.
- Do not post any links.: **Do not** post any links to external content. We’ll create stickied themed threads where you can share websites, blogs, or apps you’ve found useful on your discipline journey. Outside of those, anyone posting links or shilling products will be permanently banned from the community without hesitation.
- No AI-Generated Content: Content that appears generated or heavily rewritten by AI tools will be removed. This includes overly generic language, unnatural structures, or telltale formatting. We want authentic, human discussion. If you use AI to help clarify your writing or organize your thoughts, make sure your final post remains personal and genuine.
- Minimum Post Length: Posts must be at least ~150 words. Short, shallow posts rarely spark meaningful discussion. Please add detail, context, and specific questions to help others engage with your topic.
- Account Age and Karma Restrictions: New accounts and low-karma users have limited posting privileges. To reduce spam and karma farming: commenting requires an account at least 3 days old and posting requires an account at least 30 days old and 200 karma.
- No Sales or Coaching Pitches: No sales pitches, coaching, or hustle posts. Posts or comments promoting coaching services, life coaching, business coaching, or similar services will be removed. We want genuine sharing and support, not self-promotion.
- Substantiate Universal Claims: Statements like “This changed my life” or “This works for everyone” must include context, data and rationale. Broad claims without explanation risk misinformation and will be removed or flagged for review.
Works well
- A [Method] post describing the specific system you personally use to stay consistent, written in your own voice with real context and a question at the end that invites discussion.
- A [Question] post asking the community for help with a specific discipline struggle you actually face, with enough detail and context to spark useful replies.
- A [Plan] post laying out a goal and the steps you intend to take, asking readers to poke holes in it or share what worked for them.
- A personal experience post about a habit you built or broke, with concrete data and rationale behind any claims, per “Substantiate Universal Claims”.
- Commenting helpfully on other people's posts once your account is at least 3 days old, building genuine standing before you ever think about posting.
Avoid
- Posting any external link anywhere outside the stickied themed threads, because “Do not post any links.” makes link posting a permanent ban offense.
- Pitching your coaching service, course, or product, because “No Sales or Coaching Pitches” gets those posts removed.
- Skipping the flair tag in your title, because “Always include a flair in your post title.” says untagged posts may be removed.
- Writing a short or shallow post, because “Minimum Post Length” requires roughly 150 words with detail and specific questions.
- Pasting AI-generated or AI-polished text, because “No AI-Generated Content” removes posts that look machine written.
- Posting from a brand new account, because “Account Age and Karma Restrictions” requires 30 days and 200 karma to post at all, and 3 days to comment, so build a real account first and do not buy one, because karma farming is exactly what the rule targets and moderators can see account history patterns in ways the rules only hint at, so the safest path is a genuine account used honestly for weeks, a
What r/getdisciplined Is For
r/getdisciplined is a community for people building real self-discipline. The description asks for practical strategies, personal experiences, and thoughtful advice that help people make lasting improvements and reach meaningful goals. The rules make it clear this is a discussion place, not a broadcast place. Rule one asks every post to promote discussion and says no one-liners or quotes. Rule two asks people to be helpful, constructive, and civil. The people posting here are working on habits, focus, and follow through, and they expect posts that come from lived experience rather than a marketing plan.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Five rules decide almost everything here. “Do not post any links.” bans links to outside content everywhere except stickied themed threads, and it says anyone posting links or shilling products gets permanently banned, so this is the hardest line in the community. “No Sales or Coaching Pitches” removes anything promoting coaching or similar services, which covers most direct marketing. “No AI-Generated Content” removes posts that look machine written, so write in your own voice. “Minimum Post Length” requires about 150 words, and “Always include a flair in your post title.” requires a tag like [Question] or [Method] or your post may be removed. “Account Age and Karma Restrictions” means you need an account at least 30 days old with 200 karma to post at all, and 3 days old to comment, so you cannot show up with a fresh account. “Substantiate Universal Claims” matters if you share results, because broad claims without context, data, and rationale get removed or flagged.
What To Post
The honest play here is to share your own discipline story as a person, not as a founder. A good post is at least 150 words, carries a flair tag like [Method] or [Question], and contains zero links. Write it yourself in your own voice, because AI-sounding text gets removed. If a tool or system helped you, describe how you use it and what changed for you, with the context and rationale the rules ask for, and let people ask you for the name in the comments. Save any link sharing for the stickied themed threads the moderators run. If you want to ask the community something, ask a real question about your own struggle, with enough detail that people can actually help.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get banned here is posting a link or shilling a product outside the stickied themed threads, because rule four says that earns a permanent ban without hesitation. Sales pitches, coaching offers, and hustle posts get removed. Posts without a flair tag get removed. Posts under about 150 words get removed. Content that reads as AI generated gets removed. One-liners and quotes get removed because they do not promote discussion. Universal claims like this changed my life get removed or flagged unless you back them with context, data, and rationale. New accounts and low karma accounts cannot even post.

Common questions about r/getdisciplined
Can I mention my coaching program or service?
No. “No Sales or Coaching Pitches” removes posts promoting coaching services or similar offerings, and the community wants genuine sharing instead.
Can I write about a productivity method I built?
Yes, if it is a real personal method with context and rationale, carries a flair tag, runs at least 150 words, and contains no links or pitch.
Can I post from a fresh account?
Your account needs to be at least 30 days old with 200 karma before you can post, per “Account Age and Karma Restrictions”.
Where can I share a tool I found useful?
Yes, but only inside stickied themed threads, which are the one place the rules allow sharing websites, blogs, or apps.
