What its rules say about promotion
No Excessive Self-Promoters / Spammers / Shills
These rules are the same whether you run a major publication or brand or if you have a personal blog or project. tl;dr: Don't just spam out your links, and don't blindly upvote your own content or ask anyone else to! Why? Because reddit is a community, not a platform for self-promotion.
All 6 rules of r/Cybersecurity101
- Follow Reddiquette, be decent and respectful to each other - at all times.
[Reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette) is an informal expression of the values of many redditors. We respect and value it. If for any reason you cannot be decent and respectful to other users, please abstain from participating. If someone else is violating Reddiquette, or is indecent or disrespectful to other users, please use the `report` button. - No Excessive Self-Promoters / Spammers / Shills
These rules are the same whether you run a major publication or brand or if you have a personal blog or project. tl;dr: Don't just spam out your links, and don't blindly upvote your own content or ask anyone else to! Why? Because reddit is a community, not a platform for self-promotion. - Keep it on-topic.
As the description says, keep it on topic. No trolls, shitposts, or other comments or posts which contain no value. - No recently submitted topics or issues
Please search before posting. Many questions are asked often. If your topic or issue was addressed within the past 2 weeks, please join the relevant discussion thread first. If your query is not addressed within 24 hours, you are welcome to make a new thread. - No “Am I Hacked?” Posts
No ‘Am I Hacked?’ Posts. These posts are often don’t make sense, are littered with paranoia, and produce very little for both sides of the conversation. - No asking advice for illegal actions
This will result in a ban.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
