Some communities exist for a single purpose. Rule 2 on that subreddit: Posts must ask for advice. If you want to loop the community in on your personal story, you do have to post it elsewhere.

It's just like this community - we don't allow offtopic posts either. Except instead of a small modteam, we have people who have a certain amount of karma to "remove" (bury) the post.



Still a weird rule tho. You'd think they want to hear if their advice was good or not and have a catalogue to look back at on what worked for certain situations.


I agree that there probably should exist a feedback loop for the community to know if their advice helped or harmed.
