The informal code of conduct and etiquette guidelines for Reddit users.

Reddiquette is the unwritten (and partly written) set of social norms that govern behavior on Reddit. Key principles include: contribute to the conversation, don't spam or self-promote excessively, upvote based on quality not opinion, and be respectful. For Reddit marketers, following reddiquette isn't just ethical — it's strategic. Communities are extremely sensitive to promotional behavior, and violating norms leads to downvotes, removals, and bans. The most effective Reddit marketing adds genuine value first and mentions products only when contextually relevant.
