What its rules say about promotion
No Spam
No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to once per two weeks. Posts are to use the [vendor] flair and their title to be prefixed with [AD]. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed. Promotional posts from the same vendor within a rolling 14 days since their previous one will removed. Removed posts still count against this rolling window.
No Buy/Sell/Trade
This subreddit is not a marketplace, please post on /r/mechmarket or other relevant marketplace. Vendor posts and comments are allowed. Vendor posts should be tagged with the [vendor] flair and their title prefixed with [AD]. Vendor comments should be prefixed with [AD].
All 3 rules of r/ErgoMechKeyboards
- Keep It Ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?) e.g. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear² ¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine. ² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid - No Spam

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
