The short answer
Engage as a normal community member answering rants or questions; avoid self-promotional threads and ask moderators for approval before posting anything that promotes a product/service.
What works here
- Participate in character discussions and rants
- Answer specific questions about feats or context
- Share evidence-backed opinions and clear up misconceptions
- Post on-topic comments in existing threads
What gets posts removed
- Creating posts to advertise, recruit customers, or solicit leads
- Posting meta/advertising without prior moderator approval
- Using comments or posts primarily to promote a product or service
- Linking to specific external posts in a way that could be seen as brigading
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditMod approval for meta/ads
Guideline: ask mods before posting meta; they say they'll likely say yes unless you're advertising — implies advertising is disfavored/blocked without approval.
Allowed thread topics focus
Rules enumerate only discussion topics about characters, events, concepts — no mention of product launches or promotions.
Don't link to other communities
Linking to specific posts elsewhere is banned to avoid brigading, showing sensitivity about external promotion or directing traffic.
No explicit self-promo clause
The rules do not explicitly permit vendor posts, so be conservative and seek approval before promoting.
