No leaks or unofficial YouTube channels - "X is coming out Y!" threads are not allowed
The threads are better sorted into a comment in the Weekly "What is coming out thread", usually posted Tuesday or Wednesday. There we can collect all weekly releases in one place. - ONLY NEW MUSIC CAN BE POSTED ON FRIDAYS
ONLY NEW MUSIC CAN BE POSTED ON FRIDAYS - New Music Can Not Be Posted Until 12:00 est Release Day
New Music Can Not Be Posted Until 12:00 est Release Day, causes to much confusion with not everyone being able to listen to it.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
