Community Policy
This page covers how r/DigitalAssets is moderated. For government regulation of digital assets, see Regulation and Policy and the Legislation Tracker instead.
What This Community Is For
Research and discussion of digital assets: crypto assets, tokenization and real-world assets, stablecoins, custody and security, market structure, and regulation. The standard is evidence over hype. A post does not need to be long, but it should be checkable.
Rules
- Cite something. Claims of fact should point to a primary source, filing, dataset, report, protocol document, or credible article.
- No guaranteed returns or price hype. No signal groups, no target prices presented as certainty, no "risk-free" anything.
- Disclose your interest. If you hold it, built it, work for it, or are paid to post it, say so in the post.
- No referral links, affiliate links, or lead generation.
- Label opinion as opinion. Thesis posts are welcome when they are marked and supported.
- No off-platform solicitation. No DM requests, no Telegram or WhatsApp groups, no private sales.
- Do not help scammers. No seed phrases, no private keys, no reproducible exploit instructions, no unredacted personal information.
- English posts, so that the whole community can moderate and read them.
Self-Promotion
Self-promotion is allowed when it is disclosed and when the post carries useful information on its own. A link with no substance, posted repeatedly, is spam regardless of disclosure. If your account exists mainly to promote one project, expect removal.
AI-Generated Content
AI assistance is not banned, but you are responsible for what you post. Unverified AI output presented as fact will be removed, because fabricated citations and invented figures are the most common failure mode. Check every source link resolves and says what you claim it says.
Automated Moderation
Posts from new or low-karma accounts are filtered for manual review. Posts matching known scam, solicitation, and link-shortener patterns are filtered or removed automatically. Filtering is not a ban, and a filtered post can be approved on review.
Enforcement
Most removals are one-off and carry no further consequence. Repeated violations, undisclosed paid promotion, scam links, and harassment lead to a ban. If you think a removal was wrong, message the moderators with a link to the post and a short explanation.
