Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditRelevance requirement
Submissions must relate to Providence and surrounding area — ensures vendor posts need local relevance.
No spam policy with allowance
Spam will be removed and can get you banned, but local businesses may advertise events/services if not repetitive, deceptive, or like spam.
Use MegaThread
Mods direct use of pinned MegaThreads for certain topics, so promotional content may need to go there when present.
Mod discretion
Moderators can remove content or ban for any reason, so permission/clarity reduces risk.
