Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • No dumps/cheaters allowed: If you're using dumps, you are cheating on the test. Offering or asking for dumps will result in a ban.
  • Product/Service Transparency: 1. You must add a disclaimer if you have a commercial interest in a product you're linking. 2. If you link to a product or service, full product pricing must be shared as well.
  • Job Rules: 1. Use the sticky hiring post and follow format from the post 2. Hiring posts require job application link and salary range. 3. We are not allowed to ask people to just send a PM because there are too many recruiters reselling resumes.
  • No AI-Generated Posts/Comments: AI to fix broken English is fine, but it's not allowed to make posts that: 1. Reads like generic AI output (high-level, vague, no specifics) 2. Repeats common advice without adding value
  • If you post a question, don't delete it after you get your answer: We've had an increase lately in people posting a question then deleting the post after they get an answer. Doing this will result in a ban.
  • When asking for help please describe what you tried: Did you google it first? It duplicates effort to ask for help and not describe what you tried or researched because people will spend time suggesting things you already tried.
  • No cert / coupon begging: No cert / coupon begging
  • See sticky posts before asking questions about getting started: See sticky posts before asking questions about getting started
  • No spam: No spam

Works well

  • A specific technical question about force.com or heroku where you list the steps you already tried and what you found in your research.
  • A product or service link shared with a clear disclaimer of your commercial interest and full pricing details upfront.
  • A detailed post about a Salesforce certification experience that adds specific value beyond common advice.
  • A job posting placed inside the sticky hiring thread with a job application link and a salary range.

Avoid

  • Do not link to a product without full pricing and a commercial interest disclaimer.
  • Do not post a question and delete it after someone answers you.
  • Do not post a job outside the sticky hiring thread or without a salary range.
  • Do not use AI to generate generic posts or comments that repeat common advice.
  • Do not ask for or offer exam dumps.
  • Do not beg for certification coupons.

What r/salesforce Is For

This community is an unofficial forum for discussing getting certified and building on Salesforce platforms, including force.com, heroku, exacttarget, and slack. People come here to ask technical questions, share knowledge, and discuss Salesforce development and certification.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule named "No dumps/cheaters allowed" will get you banned if you offer or ask for exam dumps. The rule named "Product/Service Transparency" requires you to add a disclaimer if you have a commercial interest in a linked product and to share full product pricing. The rule named "Job Rules" keeps all hiring inside a sticky post and requires a job application link and salary range. The rule named "No AI-Generated Posts/Comments" blocks posts that read like generic AI output or repeat common advice without adding value. The rule named "If you post a question, don't delete it after you get your answer" will result in a ban if you remove a post after getting help. The rule named "When asking for help please describe what you tried" requires you to explain your research and prior attempts. The rule named "No cert / coupon begging" blocks requests for free certifications or coupons. The rule named "See sticky posts before asking questions about getting started" tells you to check existing resources first. The rule named "No spam" is a general catch-all.

What To Post

A good post here is a specific technical question or discussion about building on Salesforce platforms, where you describe what you already tried and researched. If you share a product or service link, you add a clear disclaimer about your commercial interest and include full pricing details. A good post adds specific value rather than repeating common advice, and it stays live so others can learn from the answers.

What To Avoid

Avoid offering or asking for exam dumps, as this leads to a ban. Do not post a product link without a commercial interest disclaimer and full pricing details. Do not post jobs outside the sticky hiring thread or without a salary range and application link. Avoid AI-generated posts that are vague or repeat common advice without specifics. Never delete a question post after someone answers it. Do not ask for help without first describing what you tried or researched. Do not beg for certification coupons. Do not post basic getting started questions without checking the sticky posts first. Do not spam.
