Rule summary
- Reddit Rules: Users should follow [Reddit Content Policy](https://www.reddit.com/help/contentpolicy/) and respect [Reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette). Posts or comments that violate Reddit policy, /r/Taiwan rules, or discuss or promote illegal or threatening activities will be removed. Users may also be subject to /r/Taiwan and/or Reddit-wide bans.
- Posting Guidelines: Should be thoughtful, detailed, and directly related to Taiwan. Research beforehand and document this in your post. Chinese allowed, but provide an English synopsis. Articles should be recent, using exact title with no modifications or editorializing. Links or media should include a thoughtful starter comment explaining its importance or relevance. Title-only posts without starter comment will be removed. Attempt to use the most appropriate flair when submitting your post
- Travel, Tourism, and Locate/Identify: Questions about itineraries, travel, locations, and identifications should be asked in the weekly thread stickied at the top of the subreddit. Posts about missing persons will be removed to protect the safety of the community as the moderators lack the ability to validate claims. If you are seeking an individual [this wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/wiki/missingpeople/) provides you resources to assist.
- Promotion and Advertisement: Links to blogs, videos, and social posts are allowed if they are directly related to Taiwan, recently posted, and include a thoughtful starter comment. /r/Taiwan follows the [10:1 self-promotion policy](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion#wiki_here_are_some_guidelines_for_best_practices.3A) and limits links to once a week. Buy/sell/trade/classified advertisements are not allowed. Violations will be removed. Repeated violations will be marked as spam and added to the ban list.
- Etiquette: Be respectful - do not insult other users, bait or flame comment sections, or use excessive vulgar language. Adhere to the Reddiquette. Bigoted language will be met with a permanent ban. Zero tolerance. Do not submit private info of others, harass other users of this or similar subreddits, or promote harassment outside of this subreddit.
Works well
- Share a recent article about Taiwan using its exact title, then add a thoughtful starter comment explaining why it matters to the community
- Post a video or photo related to Taiwan with a starter comment that explains its importance or relevance
- Write a detailed text post about something Taiwan related, documenting the research you did beforehand
- Share your own blog post or video only if it is directly related to Taiwan, recently posted, and paired with a thoughtful starter comment
- Answer questions and join discussions in the weekly stickied thread to build a presence without posting links
Avoid
- Posting a link with no starter comment, because title-only posts without one get removed
- Promoting your product more than once a week, since links are limited to once a week
- Ignoring the 10 to 1 self-promotion ratio, because violations get removed and repeated ones get you marked as spam and banned
- Posting buy, sell, trade, or classified advertisements, which are not allowed at all
- Submitting a travel, itinerary, or identify question as its own post, because those belong in the weekly stickied thread
- Sharing an article with an edited or editorialized title, since articles must use the exact title with no modifications or editorializing, and must be recent, and must relate directly to Taiwan, and must include a thoughtful starter comment explaining their importance or relevance, and must use the most appropriate flair when submitting your post, and must be thoughtful, detailed, and directly on,
What r/taiwan Is For
This is a community for anyone interested in Taiwan, and the public description says you are welcome to share content with the community. People here talk about Taiwan itself, so the rules keep the focus on posts that are thoughtful, detailed, and directly related to Taiwan. The rules also show the room expects research and documentation, recent articles shared with their exact titles, and links or media that come with a thoughtful starter comment. Chinese is allowed, but any Chinese post needs an English synopsis, which tells you the audience is a mix of local and international readers.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Five rules decide what survives here, and I will name them exactly as the community does. “Reddit Rules” means you follow the Reddit content policy and Reddiquette, and anything that promotes illegal or threatening activities gets removed. “Posting Guidelines” is the big one for any founder, because posts must be thoughtful, detailed, and directly related to Taiwan, articles must use the exact title with no editorializing, and any link or media needs a thoughtful starter comment explaining its importance or relevance, with title-only posts removed. “Travel, Tourism, and Locate/Identify” pushes itinerary and location questions into the weekly stickied thread. “Promotion and Advertisement” allows blog, video, and social post links if they are directly related to Taiwan, recently posted, and include a thoughtful starter comment, and it follows the 10:1 self-promotion policy with links limited to once a week. “Etiquette” bans insults, baiting, bigoted language with a permanent ban, and harassment of any kind.
What To Post
If you are a founder, the safest good post here is one that is genuinely about Taiwan first. Share a recent article or piece of media about Taiwan with its exact title, then write a thoughtful starter comment explaining why it matters or why you found it relevant. If you want to share your own blog, video, or social post, it must be directly related to Taiwan, recently posted, and come with that same thoughtful starter comment. Do your research before posting and document it in the post, since the rules ask for thoughtful and detailed contributions. Use the most appropriate flair when you submit. If you have a travel or itinerary question, put it in the weekly stickied thread instead of making its own post. And keep your self-promotional links to once a week while posting plenty of non-promotional content, because the community follows the 10:1 self-promotion policy.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is posting a link with no starter comment, because title-only posts are removed outright. Promotion is capped hard: links are limited to once a week, you must keep the 10:1 self-promotion ratio, and buy, sell, trade, and classified ads are not allowed at all. Repeated promo violations get you marked as spam and added to the ban list. Anything not directly related to Taiwan gets removed, so a generic product launch post will not survive. Travel, itinerary, and identify questions must go in the weekly stickied thread, not as standalone posts. Articles must be recent and use the exact title with no edits or editorializing. Finally, the Etiquette rule has zero tolerance for bigoted language with a permanent ban, and insulting, baiting, or harassing other users will get you removed or banned.
