Reddit is introducing some new features for posts that should make it easier to know if your post meets a subreddit’s rules and if it’s for the appropriate community, according to a blog post.

The new Rules Check will flag a potential issue as you’re writing the post. As shown in a GIF of the mobile app, you’ll see a red notification badge above your keyboard on a little magic wand icon, and if you tap that, the app will display a pop-up showing rules that your post might be breaking.

 

This feature will be tested first on iOS and Android. If your post is removed for breaking the rules, Reddit will show a prompt suggesting that you try instead to post it to a different subreddit.

The new Community Suggestions feature will offer recommendations on which subreddit a post might be a fit for. And the Clear Community Info tool you might see before posting will let you know a subreddit’s specific posting requirements.

Reddit is also offering insights on your posts, including “views, upvotes, shares, and more,” per the blog post.

Interesting, I did notice that a notification started popping up whenever I started posting comments on a few subreddits but it just brought up a warning that said "be sure to follow the rules" but didn't specifically target any rules. Guess it hasn't fully dropped yet for me, I use the app on my Android.

I dont reddit much. So i don't really have a feel for the place. But I really don't like the idea of a nag looking over my posts before I post. I like to speak my mind and I know better than to post something awful.

 

But I don't want naggy Nelly telling me, no you don't want to say that, no that might violate rule number 256, no that isn't acceptable.

 

I know most people don't really moderate themselves, but it feels like they (reddit) wants to dictate the rules up front, which to me is kinda a turnoff.
