Can you promote in r/horror?

R/HORROR, known as Dreadit by our subscribers is the premier horror entertainment community on Reddit. For more than a decade /R/HORROR has been reddit.com's gateway to all things Horror: from movies & TV, to books & games.

The short answer

Answer questions helpfully without pitching; if you must promote your product, use the weekly self-promo thread and include clear disclosure.

What works here

Participate in normal discussion and help users with non-promotional answers
Post self-promotion in the weekly Sunday self-promo thread
Reference products briefly for transparency if directly relevant and not the main point

What gets posts removed

Creating posts that promote, sell, recruit, or solicit customers outside the weekly thread
Posting promotional links or commercial content in regular posts or comments
Repeated posting of your product (risking spam rules and temp ban)
