Hey everyone,

You may have noticed some changes around r/siemens recently. I've been working on bringing some structure to the subreddit, and I wanted to share what's happening and what's coming next.

What changed

• A full set of rules has been introduced — you can find them in the sidebar. They cover the basics: English only, flair required, no spam, no confidential information, and so on
• Post flairs are now mandatory and have been reorganised: Career, News, Help, Discussion, Tutorial, Showcase, Event
• Career and job-related posts have been consolidated into a Monthly Career & Jobs Thread, pinned at the top. There were simply too many similar posts cluttering the feed
• AutoMod is now actively enforcing these rules, including filtering non-English posts and flagging potential spam or posts missing context

Why

The subreddit has been growing, and without structure it was becoming harder to find useful content. The goal isn't to make this place feel corporate or over-moderated — it's to make sure the good posts get seen and the noise gets reduced.

What's coming next

Over the next few weeks I'll be working on:

• More megathreads for recurring topics
• Refined AutoMod rules based on what's actually getting flagged

Feedback

If a rule feels off, AutoMod is being too aggressive (or too lenient), a post got removed that shouldn't have, or you have ideas for what would make this community better, comment below or send modmail. This is a work in progress and I'd rather adjust now than get it wrong long-term.
