Submissions that don't keep to the rules will be removed.

• Link directly to the article. Don't use text posts for links, don't link to another subreddit, don't use link shorteners or redirects. Podcasts and Videos should be posted as link posts not text or media posts.

• Don't editorialise link submission titles e.g. no "TIL" , "Is this true?" or "this is interesting!" and no all cap titles.

• Text or self posts should have a clear question or observation; if it's a question put the question in the title in a way that is understandable without clicking through to the full post. No 1 or 2 word titles. No all caps. Add some context in the text box.

• Don't spam your own content and nothing but your own content. Remember - a subreddit is an online community, not a free advertisement board. If you are interested enough in history to make your own videos or blog, share the sources, blog posts and videos that you enjoy and learn from. You can post links to your own content - within reason. But if that's all you ever post, and/or — you submit the same post or video to multiple subreddits - you are a spammer. A widely used rule of thumb is that only 1 out of every 10 of your submissions should be your own content.

• Posts should be on a historical topic which means about something that happened at least 20 years ago,

• Don't flood the new queue, i.e. don't drop a load of links at the same time.

• No bigotry, racism, homophobia, or sexism.

• Be civil to other posters. Robust debate is fine, flinging insults around is not and will earn a ban.
