The short answer
Answer leads with helpful, on-topic advice first; if you mention your product/company do so briefly for transparency and avoid links, pricing, discount codes, surveys, or solicitations unless you have explicit mod approval.
What works here
- Helpful, on-topic answers about pickleball
- Educational posts that improve community knowledge
- Paddle recommendations only in the weekly paddle recommendation thread
- Occasional product mention for transparency (no links) if clearly not promotional
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct advertisements or promotional posts
- Sharing discount/affiliate links or outside codes
- Soliciting customers, leads, or running market research/surveys
- Posting paddle-buy/comparison threads outside the weekly thread
