The short answer

Avoid public self-promotion; if relevant, ask mods first or post transparently in an appropriate sister subreddit (e.g., r/VTforHire or r/blacksburg) and keep any mention secondary to community value.

What works here

Non-commercial VT-related discussion
VT club/group promotion (case-by-case)
Using related subreddits for hiring/tickets

What gets posts removed

Direct advertisements, product launches, or solicitations
Posting surveys or recruitment for classes
Posting commercial links or obvious vendor pitches without mod approval
