Rule summary
- Las preguntas van en /r/AskSpain o r/GoingToSpain: Si tienes una pregunta para la comunidad, publícala en /r/AskSpain o r/GoingtoSpain, dependiendo de su temática. Questions to the community should be posted in /r/AskSpain or r/GoingToSpain depending on the topic.
- La política va en r/SpainPolitics: Los temas políticos deben discutirse en r/spainpolitics, el subreddit dedicado a esta temática.
- No ataques a otros usuarios: La agresividad y hostilidad no son bienvenidas. Insultos y acosos a otros usuarios pueden resultar en una expulsión.
- No toleramos la discriminación, la intoleracia o la apología de la violencia: Toda discriminación (racista, sexista, xenófobo, homofóbico, etc.) será retirada. Tampoco está permitida la deshumanización, la exaltación de la dictadura, apología del nazismo, o discursos de odio.
- No hilos de poco esfuerzo: Es la responsabilidad de los moderadores el mantener unos estándares mínimos de calidad en el subreddit, así que si abres un hilo nuevo trata de poner el esfuerzo mínimo para que salga una discusión interesante. De no ser así, puede que tu post sea borrado.
- No Spam o contenido generado por Inteligencia Artificial.: Peticiones, encuestas, publicidad o promoción deberán ser aprobados por los moderadores antes de publicarse. El contenido generado por Inteligencia Artificial será considerado Spam también.
- No teorías conspiranoicas, desinformación, trolling o astroturfing: No se permite difundir teorías de conspiración. Ante temas en los que se publique en contra del consenso de la abrumadora mayoría de la comunidad científica: se pedirán fuentes y datos que justifiquen esa discrepancia. Ejemplo: difundir información falsa sobre el COVID-19 podrá resultar en expulsión.
- Publicar contenido relacionado con España: Tu contenido deberá estar relacionado de alguna manera con España. Si se trata de contenido genérico, compártelo en /r/es por favor.
Works well
- A discussion post about a cultural or social topic specific to Spain, written in Spanish or English, with enough depth to invite comments.
- A piece of original content about Spanish culture, current events, or life in Spain that is clearly tied to the country and not generic.
- A promotional post only after a moderator has approved it in advance, framed as a discussion rather than an ad.
Avoid
- Do not post questions here, send them to /r/AskSpain or r/GoingToSpain depending on the topic.
- Do not post political topics here, they belong in r/SpainPolitics.
- Do not post petitions, surveys, advertising, or promotion without first getting moderator approval.
- Do not post AI-generated content, it is treated as spam and removed.
- Do not post low effort threads, moderators will delete them.
- Do not post generic content that is not related to Spain, it belongs in /r/es instead.
What r/spain Is For
This is a subreddit for discussing Spain and Spanish culture. The public description is bilingual, Spanish and English, so the audience expects content that's actually about Spain. The rules are clear that this is for discussion, not questions, politics, or generic content. Questions go to /r/AskSpain or r/GoingToSpain, politics go to r/SpainPolitics, and generic Spanish-language content goes to /r/es.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule 'No Spam o contenido generado por Inteligencia Artificial' is the one that matters most for marketing. Petitions, surveys, advertising, or promotion need moderator approval before you post, and AI-generated content counts as spam. The 'No hilos de poco esfuerzo' rule also matters because a thin promotional post will get deleted for being low effort. And 'Publicar contenido relacionado con España' means your post needs a real connection to Spain or it goes to /r/es.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine discussion starter about Spain or Spanish culture, written with enough effort that people actually want to talk about it. If you're a founder doing Reddit marketing, the only safe path is to message the moderators first and get written approval before posting anything promotional. Even with approval, your post should be substantive, clearly tied to Spain, and free of AI-generated text. You're starting a discussion that happens to involve your product, not broadcasting a message.
What To Avoid
Don't post things that belong in a sister subreddit. Questions get removed under 'Las preguntas van en /r/AskSpain o r/GoingToSpain'. Politics get removed under 'La política va en r/SpainPolitics'. Stay away from unapproved promotion of any kind, including surveys and petitions, because the spam rule covers them. AI-generated content is out too since the rules treat it as spam. Low effort posts get deleted under 'No hilos de poco esfuerzo'. And attacks, discrimination, hate speech, conspiracy theories, and misinformation are all called out explicitly in the rules.

Can I post a survey or promotional content in r/spain?
Only if a moderator approves it first. The rule 'No Spam o contenido generado por Inteligencia Artificial' requires that petitions, surveys, advertising, and promotion get moderator approval before publishing.

No, AI-generated content is explicitly considered spam under the rules and will be removed.
