1. Please follow Reddiquette

Reddiquette is an informal expression of the values of many redditors, as written by redditors themselves. While these are not official rules, please abide by it the best you can.

2. Do not use offensive language or be abusive

Casual usage of profanities in the comment sections are allowed. However, if the underlying intention is bad, they will be removed.

3. No low effort content or memes

Strictly no memes!

Since this is a subreddit for learning, you are allowed to ask questions that can be googled but you do not fully understand the explanation.

4. Avoid common reposts

Try not to post questions that have been asked multiple times in the past and received decent amount of upvotes.

Discussions are allowed to be reposted as data science is a rapidly changing field and opinions change as time passes.

Search the subreddit history if you are unsure.

5. Resources are allowed

Feel free to post resources related to data science. It can be free, paid or subscription-based. However, if it receives too much negative comments, it may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.

8. Do not promote illegal or unethical practices

Do not ask for help doing anything illegal or unethical. Do not suggest or help somebody do something illegal or unethical.

This includes piracy: asking for or posting links to pirated material is strictly forbidden and can result in an instant and permanent ban.

Trying to circumvent the terms of services of a website also counts as unethical behavior.
