This subreddit works best when members contribute, not just consume. Be respectful, provide helpful feedback when you can, and treat others professionally. Repeatedly asking for free consulting, constant review requests, or low-value participation may result in moderator action.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
