The rules permit links or images only when they are relevant to the question being asked, so helpful, relevant resources (non-monetized) are acceptable.
No monetized links
Monetized or affiliate links are explicitly banned, so avoid any links that generate revenue.
No spam
Spam is disallowed and includes posts that go against the subreddit's purpose, which covers unsolicited vendor advertising.
Question format required

No critique requests
Requests for critique belong on r/photocritique, so avoid positioning replies as solicitations for user work or feedback.
