Lists generated by AI / LLM may be removed, especially if fixing them is considered more work than starting fresh
No piracy or grey-market software keys
This includes suggesting, hinting, or in any way implying to someone that piracy, or violation of license agreements is an option. If a license key is abnormally cheap (think $5 - $30), it is probably grey market, and thus forbidden on /r/buildapc.
