Can you promote in r/conspiracy?
This is a forum for free thinking and for discussing issues which have captured your imagination. Please respect other views and opinions, and keep an open mind. Our goal is to create a fairer and more transparent world for a better future.
The short answer
Participate genuinely before posting, include a clear 2+ sentence submission statement explaining relevance, disclose your affiliation, avoid salesy language and links unless you've established presence.
What works here
- Posting relevant links with a 2+ sentence Submission Statement
- Sharing content if you also participate non-promotorially in the community
- Discussing topics openly while disclosing affiliation
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct ads, solicitations, or blogspam without prior non-promotional engagement
- Dropping links without a Submission Statement (will be removed after 20 min)
- Being overtly promotional, sensationalist, or using attention-seeking formatting
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo blog spam / malicious web sites
Users who 'deliberately advertising their own content without participating in the community in any other form are subject to a ban' — advertising is explicitly disallowed when done as pure self-promotion.
Submission Statement required
Link and image posts must have a 2+ sentence Submission Statement in the poster's own words explaining relevance; links without it will be removed after 20 minutes.
Account age / participation expectation
Accounts under 60 days are discouraged from participating; moderators expect community membership before posting potentially sensitive content.
General moderation on attention-seeking/sensationalism
