A source-backed Rankhog guide to r/Superstonk: public rules, community context, posting fit, and startup-promotion risk before you publish.
By Anthony Riera, founder and operator of Rankhog.
Subreddit guides combine public Reddit source URLs, captured rules, visible verification dates, and Rankhog's account-safety workflow.
Current public stats
Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
This community is a place for theoretical discussions about GameStop stock, which people call GME. Opinions and memes are welcome there, which tells you the tone is loose even though the rules are strict. The people who post here care deeply about GameStop, market mechanics, and research into how trading works. The description also warns that some crypto coins using the GME name have nothing to do with the stock, so the community is protective of what counts as on topic. Everything posted has to connect directly to GME, GameStop, or market mechanics, and anything tangential has to explain its connection explicitly. This is not a general investing or startup community, so a founder only fits here if their work genuinely relates to those topics.
The first gate is “Karma Requirements”, because the automod removes posts from accounts under 240 days and 4800 karma, and comments from accounts under 120 days and 1200 karma. The second gate is “Posts & Comments: Must be relevant to GME”, which means your topic, title, and content must all be directly about GME, GameStop, or market mechanics. “Back Up Claims With Sources” matters because unsourced claims and call to action posts get removed, and speculation is only allowed under the Speculation/Opinion flair. “No Self-Monetization Allowed” kills any post or comment linking to monetized Discords, chatrooms, YouTube, Etsy, Telegram, or similar sites, with the stated alternative of putting those links on your Reddit user profile. “No Brigading” bans organized voting on other subs, harassing other subs, and posting screenshots from other subs, and the automod blocks links to other subreddits entirely. “No Mass-Shared Content” lets moderators remove repeats of content many people already posted, including popular but unverified theories. “No Organizing or Market Manipulation” removes posts that try to organize members into market moves, and even references to us and we can be removed. “No Meta Content” bans content that negatively discusses Reddit users, moderators, or other subreddits. “AI Content” allows AI-assisted posts only with a disclaimer naming the LLM model used, in the first line or the title, and removes low effort AI memes. “DRS Positions & Buy Orders Only. No Gain/Loss Porn” restricts position posts to directly registered shares or buy orders with account details hidden. Finally, “Post Flairs Reserved For Weekends” means the Marketplace Creator and NFT Giveaway flairs need moderator approval through modmail before you can use them.
A good post here is original work about GameStop stock or market mechanics, with every claim backed by a cited source. If you are sharing an opinion or a theory, use the Speculation/Opinion flair and say plainly that it is speculation. If you used AI to format or organize data you already gathered, put an AI disclaimer with the name of the model in the first line or the title. Write like a member of the community, not a marketer. Answer questions, share what you learned, and let people click your profile if they want to know more about you. If your account is new to this community, start with comments, because the comment bar is much lower than the post bar.
Do not post links to monetized Discords, chatrooms, YouTube channels, Etsy stores, or Telegram groups, because “No Self-Monetization Allowed” removes them, and the alternative is putting those links on your Reddit profile instead. Do not post anything not about GME, GameStop, or market mechanics, because “Posts & Comments: Must be relevant to GME” will remove it. Do not make claims without sources, and never make a call to action without verifiable sources, because “Back Up Claims With Sources” forbids it. Do not organize voting or harassment toward other subreddits or post screenshots from them, because “No Brigading” risks a permanent ban. Do not show Reddit usernames, avatars, or subreddit names in screenshots, per “Reddit Usernames, Avatars, and/or Subreddit Names cannot be visible”. Do not post brokerage positions from street name, account numbers, or gain and loss screenshots, per “DRS Positions & Buy Orders Only. No Gain/Loss Porn”. Do not post unexplained options trades or uneducated YOLOs, because “Options must be Bullish, Calculated and Explained” removes them. Do not post AI memes or shitposts without real human effort, and do not use AI without the required disclaimer naming the model. Do not post the same thing everyone else is posting, because “No Mass-Shared Content” removes repeats. Do not use language like us or we that implies organized action, because “No Organizing or Market Manipulation” may remove it. And do not post about Reddit drama or the mods themselves, because “No Meta Content” sends that to the monthly Open Forum or modmail.

No. The rules ban posts and comments that use the community for personal or financial gain, and links to monetized Discords, chatrooms, YouTube, Etsy, Telegram, and similar sites are not allowed. The stated alternative is putting those links on your Reddit user profile instead.
Posts need an account that is at least 240 days old with 4800 karma, and comments need at least 120 days and 1200 karma. Award karma is excluded. If automod removes your post you will get a message with specifics, and moderators may approve it at their discretion.
Only if the topic, title, and content are directly related to GME, GameStop, or market mechanics, and tangential topics must explicitly state how they relate. Anything that reads as self promotion or self monetization will be removed regardless.
Yes, if you used AI to format, organize, or present data you already located. You must include an AI disclaimer with the name of the LLM model in the first line of the post or in the title. Low effort AI memes and shitposts get removed.
No. Screenshots or details of gains or losses from exited positions are removed indiscriminately. You can post directly registered full positions or buy orders, but if you use a brokerage you must not show your full position or account number.
