AMAs, short for "Ask Me Anything”, are a long held Reddit tradition. Anyone with a unique perspective can come to Reddit, say who they are and what they're passionate about, and invite the larger Reddit community to ask them questions.

An AMA is a unique way to foster direct communication and create an experience with the Reddit community.

There are a few things as a moderator that we need to on our end to make sure your AMA goes as smooth as possible.
This includes:
- Marking your Reddit account as an approved poster. This tells Reddit and our community spam protections that your account is safe, preventing comments from getting flagged for spam review.
- Gives us (the mods) awareness so we can pin your AMA to the top of the community for greater exposure.
- And allows us to plan accordingly so a moderator is online to help if you have any questions and ensure other commenters are not spamming/going off topic during your AMA.
