Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/RenPy's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

What its rules say about promotion
Avoid excessive paid self-promotion
**paid self-promo** - any content posted with a commercial interest, up to moderator discretion. **excessive** - Posting self-promo more than once a month as an active subreddit user (comments, specifically), or more than once per three months (for non-active users). Examples of paid self-promo: patreon links, "free" resources with upsells, paid finished games. What is fine: project progress, asset feedback (within reason, see rule 5), completely free or open source assets.
All 5 rules of r/RenPy
- Keep discussion civil
Disagreement and being critical is fine, but always try to stay constructive and remember that we're all people. Refrain from insulting other users, directly or implied. - Flag NSFW content appropriately
NSFW content is allowed, but only if it is tagged correctly. - Be descriptive when asking questions
Post code, screenshots, or any other relevant details as applicable! Vague posts with little information to go on may be removed. - Avoid excessive paid self-promotion
**paid self-promo** - any content posted with a commercial interest, up to moderator discretion. **excessive** - Posting self-promo more than once a month as an active subreddit user (comments, specifically), or more than once per three months (for non-active users). Examples of paid self-promo: patreon links, "free" resources with upsells, paid finished games. What is fine: project progress, asset feedback (within reason, see rule 5), completely free or open source assets. - No spam, off-topic, or low effort posts
This includes making several similar posts in a short timespan (generally one day), posts unrelated to renpy or VN development, posts with just a screenshot or "help me" with no elaboration, etc. What constitutes "spam" or "off-topic" is at mod discretion.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
