Can you promote in r/civ?

A subreddit dedicated to Sid Meier's Civilization, the popular turn-based 4X strategy games. “We must learn from our past. The future is waiting.”

The short answer

Do not post promotional content or pitch publicly; instead participate normally, answer questions, and use mod contact or approved community channels if you must mention a product.

What works here

  • On‑topic Civilisation discussion and help
  • Sharing guides/resources that are clearly informational (non‑promotional)
  • Participating respectfully in discussions and Q&A

What gets posts removed

  • Unsolicited self‑promotion, advertising, soliciting customers, or posting product links
  • Using comments/posts to generate leads, recruits, or surveys without explicit permission
  • Posting promotional screenshots or demo posts framed as content

Self-promotion ban

Topical requirement

All posts must directly relate to the Civilization series, so promotional material unrelated or weakly tied will be removed.
