Can you promote in r/auckland?

A place to discuss matters relating to the city of Auckland, New Zealand

The short answer

Do not post promotional material or solicit leads; instead participate as a regular community member and contact the moderators first if you need to run a commercial or survey post.

What works here

  • general, non-commercial participation and answers relevant to Auckland
  • one-off posts by long-standing community members (more lenient)
  • commercial posts only with explicit moderator permission

What gets posts removed

  • promoting your business, product, or service
  • posting affiliate codes, crowdfunding, or fundraising requests
  • asking people to complete surveys or sign up as customers without mod approval
  • using posts to generate leads or solicit commercial engagement

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

Avoid self-interested material

Rule explicitly forbids promoting your business, affiliate codes, surveys, crowdfunding or promotional links unless you have moderator permission; one-off posts by long-standing members get more leniency.

Relevance requirement

Posts must be relevant to Auckland, so commercial outreach not tied to local relevance would be inappropriate.

Follow site-wide rules

Standard Reddit rules apply, which commonly ban spam and unsolicited promotion as well.
