Can you promote in r/victoriabc?
Welcome to r/VictoriaBC! This subreddit is for residents of Victoria, BC, Canada and the Capital Regional District. Please take a moment to read the sidebar for our guidelines, related subreddits and helpful resources regarding housing, tourism and employment.
The short answer
Participate normally, build karma, be relevant to Victoria/CRD, only post promotional content rarely and as a clearly community-focused, high-quality contribution with transparent disclosure and no spammy links.
What works here
- Community-focused event or business posts
- High-quality local promotions posted infrequently
- Relevant tool/project mentions when clearly helpful and transparent
What gets posts removed
- Direct solicitation, sales listings, surveys, fundraising or job ads
- Repeated/promotional spam or low-effort posts
- Posting from new/low-karma or throwaway accounts
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditAdvertising & solicitation policy
Surveys, fundraising, items for sale, housing ads, and employment posts are disallowed; only community-focused, high-quality ads are permitted and ad-spamming can lead to ban.
Relevance requirement
Posts must be clearly relevant to Victoria & the region and include descriptive context, so vendor posts need local relevance.
Quality & frequency constraint
Ads/promotions should be infrequent and not corporate/low-effort; moderators will remove low-effort corporate ads.
Account credibility
Submissions by new users or low-karma accounts will be removed, so build account history before promoting.
