UT Sublets Group Post Rules

The bot checks for 3 main things:

• Tag validity
• Price reference
• Length

Note: Capitalization doesn't matter.

Tag Validity

• Valid tags are as follows:
  • [LOOKING]
    • If you're looking for a place
  • [OFFERING]
    • If you're offering a place
  • [ROOMING]
    • If you're looking for a roommate, specifically if you haven't decided on a place yet
  • [PARKING]
    • If you're looking/offering a parking spot
• Please do not put use [ROOMING] with [OFFERING] together, as you're not really looking for a roommate to apartment hunt with.
• Put your tags all on the first line by themselves. If you don't, you run the risk of the bot matching other bracketed patterns and deleting your post for invalid tags.
• If you have multiple tags, please separate them with spaces. This is not required, but makes them easier to read.
• These are required (brackets too!), to make searching easier.
• The following are examples of improper tags:
  • [LOOKING for PARKING]
  • [OFFERING-PARKING] Private bedroom...
  • [OFFERING]Private bedroom...
    • No space after the tag
  • [SUMMER]
    • Not one of the four valid tags

Pricing Reference

• You must reference pricing of some sort
• If you don't have a specific price in mind, at least put a price range
• What the bot checks for (must match one or more of the following):
  • The presence of a $ sign.
  • Certain patterns:
    • ___ a mo(nth)
    • ___ per mo(nth)
    • ___ / mo(nth)
      • the (nth) means you could put mo, mon, or month

Length

• This part is simple. Your post must be at least 200 characters long or a link to a Craigslist ad. Any shorter and you just haven't included enough details.
• This doesn't apply to [PARKING] tags
