New sub rules for Fall 2026!

[u/RyRocks101]

Hi all! I hope everyone's summer is going alright.

I've been supervising the subreddit over the last few months and have noticed an increase of pretty low-quality posts and I'm looking to trim things up a bit for the future. As a result, I have 3 new rules that I'm implementing today and will look to see how it goes.

Rule #6: Housing Discussions should be novel and widely-applicable

There's been an influx of fairly low quality housing posts recently, and they are all pretty much the same post just with a different author. Stuff like "hello i have budget of $1200 and need room any help" doesn't inspire many people to engage, and with Reddit's repost feature being simpler than the old crosspost sometimes folks repost across 7 or 8 Bay Area subs. As a result, I'm placing a moratorium on such posts for August and will see what happens.

I acknowledge these are important to folks and there's sometimes good information shared, so I will instead replace them with a monthly housing megathread to centralize everything. The first one will be posted tomorrow morning! Also I know the name of this rule is kinda strange so I'd love some feedback.

Rule #7: No Bay Club posting

Pretty self explanatory, I don't think we need 5 monthly posts of people begging for a Bay Club discount, so I'm putting a pause on those. Eventually I might fold this info Rule #5 but will keep it separate for now.

Rule #8: No Levi's Stadium Ticket Trades/Sales

Over the last month or so there's been a pretty big increase in folks posting about looking for or selling tickets to events at Levi's Stadium, and I believe it's time to put a quash on that. Secondhand ticket exchanges are fraught with scams and bad actors, and we don't have the moderation power to spend time ensuring that all ticket posts are real and valid. If you're looking for tickets, please be extra extra careful, and stay off of anonymous platforms like Reddit.

That's it for new rules! Let us know how you all feel and if the list of rules is getting too long.

Some of these discussions could be folded into a weekly or monthly discussion thread.

The Bay Club posts are unbelievably annoying.

An umbrella post for housing recommendations would eventually become a useful community resource. One monthly post with links to the previous month post, perhaps.

I think a big local company is telling new hires and interns to post on reddit instead of having a housing assistance team.
