Read The Rules App

This community has the Read The Rules app installed. Old Reddit doesn't support apps so please open the post in new reddit for full functionality. If that's not possible, please Read The Rules and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the post.


Rule #1 Be Excellent To Each Other

Please be kind and courteous. Strive for positivity and harmony.


Thank you for reading the rules! Before submitting posts you will need to submit an acknowledgment. Please visit the full post and click the button at the bottom. Alternatively, you may submit an acknowledgment by sending a mod mail to the sub. The mod mail will need to have the subject "Read The Rules" and the body should be "Acknowledged". This will automatically submit an acknowledgment on your behalf without any moderator intervention. Mod Mail

Tutorial - Read this if your post was removed.

1.0k Upvotes

For subs that use this app you will need to confirm you have read their rules before posting. No worries it's actually very easy.

Step 1: Read the rules in the sidebar of their sub.

Step 2: Submit your acknowledgement. You can do this by clicking on the "Read The Rules" option in the main menu of the subreddit where you were posting like in the picture below:

You can also find this option on some of the menus of posts and comments.

Happy posting!

Feature Request: Make a user an approved user for the subreddit once they've Read the Rules.

52 Upvotes

I don't mean the acknowledgement system the app currently uses. I mean make the user an approved user. This is a per-subreddit permission that should be accessible via Devvit.

Can you please get this done? u/MrTommyPickles I'd be so thankful :)

Is there a way to link to the read the rules from our subreddit welcome guide?

44 Upvotes

Maybe a custom post type could be used for this?

Also does this have a Github? Many thanks!

Is it possible to whitelist certain users or flairs?

27 Upvotes

Read through the readme and didn't see the options and wanted to double check if this was possible (or could potentially be added).

Is it possible for the app to allow posts from certain users (either accounts that are "approved users" on reddit, or for mods to add users within the app)?

Also, would it be possible to whitelist posts with a certain flair? For subs with certain flairs that have a much higher percentage of not breaking the rules.

Bots being able to post without acknowledging RTR.

22 Upvotes

I'm a mod for r4rDFW. We have accounts that have been hijacked that have never posted in our subreddit before that are able to post in our subreddit without acknowledging Read The Rules. How is this possible?

Is it possible to make the bot accept the post AFTER reading the rules?

20 Upvotes

You see it's annoying after posting something that requires you to read the rules and just having it to be posted again manually

Acknowledgment toggles removed — workaround(ish)

17 Upvotes

I kept experiencing an issue posting in r/Illinois and the read the rules wouldn’t submit. It kept removing my toggles.

Found out it’s with the scroll. Video shows what happens. Eventually after scrolling up and down a few times and re-selecting my choices finally stayed.

I saw another post here about having the issue of the toggles removing so I wanted to share.

Custom Removals and Acknowledgements not showing up in form.

15 Upvotes

I recently installed this app to r/MinecraftHelp and created some custom removals and acknowledgements in the app settings. When I click save and check the form it still shows the default message. I have replicated this across multiple accounts and browsers.

Do you know if this can be fixed?

Is this app still being worked on or has it been abandoned?

13 Upvotes

I mean overall it has a lot of potential as being something great, but right now it is raw and unrefined. It needs a lot of work.

I can see the developer is still active on reddit, but not so much here, in the subreddit dedicated to his own devvit app.

I'd really like to see this app worked on and have its full potential opened up to become something great. But it does need a LOT of work still.

Even just an update to know it's still being worked on to some degree. Or pass it off to someone who will give it the attention it needs.

Removal Reason (Ideally unique/shorter) Under Comments & Option to disable user note updates

13 Upvotes

Hi u/MrTommyPickles

Thanks for your app.

As outlined in the title above, I have found that removals of comments do not trigger a "Removal Reason" comment reply. Perhaps that is because the (potentially) extensive autoreply under posts comments would clutter-up the comment section of each post...or maybe it's for a different reason.

I was wondering if there is any idea/consideration regarding the feasibility of configuring the autoreply to be offered underneath removed comments in the same way it is under posts.

Separately, I'm wondering if anyone else would find it practical to be able to deactivate Mod Note updates that are applied upon each removal.

The "feedback" link at developers.reddit leads to your personal account, but I figured I would inquire here first.

Appreciate any comments you or anyone else has to offer.

Edit: posts comments

Thank You for the App

Thank you for this much needed application.

A lot of people complain.

However?

It is mostly because they have not read the rules.

Your application is much appreciated in my Subreddit.

Edit - Fixed syntax.
