Can you promote in r/dota2trade?
Traders of all experience levels are welcome! **You must register your Steam account in order to post.** Please do so at www.rugcflair.com. No exceptions will be made.
The short answer
If you reply publicly, keep the message focused on the specific Dota2 trade (price/buyout/availability), register your Steam flair first, follow the buyout and posting rules, disclose any affiliation briefly only if relevant, and avoid broad company promotion or non-Dota offers.
What works here
- Posting/ replying about specific Dota2 items for trade
- Listing buyouts/prices as required
- Using registered Steam flair and following posting frequency
What gets posts removed
- Using the subreddit for general product/company promotion
- Soliciting leads for non-Dota items or services (e.g., game keys, currencies)
- Posting more than allowed frequency or deleting to bypass limits
