What its rules say about promotion
No Sales
Don't use the sub to sell or advertise your gear, products or services (with very few exceptions, ask the mods). Use r/Gear4Sale for selling gear. Also, do not post links to giveaways where you personally benefit (getting more entries) by propagating (spamming) a link. Patreon or other crowdfunding linking where you would personally benefit from sales to our members are also prohibited.
All 9 rules of r/Bass
- Check the FAQ
Check the sidebar, the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bass/wiki/faq), and search for your answer before making a post. We have lots of common questions with lots of common answers. - New Gear Posts belong in the Weekly GEAR Thread
New Bass Day (NBD) and Gear posts go into the weekly threads. Posts made outside of the thread will be removed and asked to be reposted. (*Custom builds, rare or noteworthy instruments are exempt from this rule, but please include details in your post.) - No Sales
Don't use the sub to sell or advertise your gear, products or services (with very few exceptions, ask the mods). Use r/Gear4Sale for selling gear. Also, do not post links to giveaways where you personally benefit (getting more entries) by propagating (spamming) a link. Patreon or other crowdfunding linking where you would personally benefit from sales to our members are also prohibited. - No memes, low effort posts, link dropping, or undescriptive thread titles.
New threads should be made with the intent to invite discussion from the members. - NSFW
SFW only - No Photo Threads
Resist the urge to start "gig pic", "bass face" and "family photo" threads. (*Custom builds, rare or noteworthy instruments are exempt from this rule, but please include details in your post.) - No Tab Requests
Requests for tab should be made in /r/paidtabs or /r/basstabs and will be removed from /r/bass. - Label Feedback Requests
We ask that video or audio of you or your band playing be tagged [Feedback] in the subject of the post. - Be nice
We expect you to treat other redditors with kindness. Personal attacks will not be tolerated, nor will slurs based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other discriminatory criteria.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
