## Rules
* **1. Keep the discussion related to Windows 11**
Posts completely unrelated to Windows 11 will be removed. Just because something is compatible with Windows, doesn't mean this is the subreddit for it. Derailing conversations and threads is not allowed.

* **2. Flair posts correctly**
We are not extremely strict with what flair you pick, but if it's very wrong we will change it. If we select another flair, don't put the original one back. Not sure what flair to use? Read [this list](https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows/wiki/rules#wiki_rule_2._flair_posts_correctly) to help you decide.

* **3. Do not distribute malicious programs**
Do not purposely distribute viruses or other harmful programs or apps. Advising the use of pirated software (including piracy, activation tools, and bypasses to enable paid features) is prohibited. This also includes "grey market" and other activation keys from unauthorized resellers.

* **4. Do not post Blogspam links or URL shorteners**
Blogspam, URL shorteners, mobile links, and referral and affiliate links are not allowed. Post the full desktop link for articles and news.

* **5. Be civil and do not troll others**
Personal attacks, bigotry, fighting words, inappropriate behavior and comments that insult or demean a specific user or group of users are not allowed. Posts or comments containing or seeking any identifying personal information are also prohibited. Do not engage in blatant trolling or flaming.

* **6. Do not advertise a 3^rd party software without permission**
If you want to promote an app or website, you must [send us a modmail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/Windows11) to request permission. Include as much relevant information as you can in both the modmail and the post. This is not a marketplace subreddit, selling anything is prohibited.

* **7. Do not promote pirated content or grey market keys**
Do not post pirated content or promote it in any way. Encouraging or hinting at the use of sellers of grey market keys is not allowed.

* **8. Titles must be relevant to the post**
Irrelevant, sensationalized, or vague titles that have the pure intent of misleading or dramatizing a topic are not allowed. The relevancy of submissions' titles will be judged at the moderator's discretion.

* **9. Do not submit reposts, low-effort posts or rants**
Reposts are not allowed. All posts and answers that can easily be found by searching this subreddit or by using a search engine will be removed at the moderators' discretion. Although we encourage healthy discussions, rants and low-effort posts that do not contribute positively to the subreddit are not allowed.

* **10. Only post memes on Mondays. No tech support anytime.**
Memes and other humor posts are only allowed on Mondays (UTC timezone) and they will be removed any other day of the week. Not Monday yet? Read [this list](https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows/wiki/rules#wiki_rule_10._only_post_memes.2C_concepts.2C_and_help_posts_on_mondays) to find more appropriate subreddits for your post.
