What its rules say about promotion
No sale/trade/beg posts
This is not a marketplace. Don't try to sell games/codes here. Don't try to trade games/codes here. Don't beg for games/codes. There's plenty of relevant subreddits for that.
Self Promotion
*""It's perfectly fine to be a redditor with a website, it's not okay to be a website with a reddit account.""* ~[Reddit Self-Promotion Guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion) Reddit cites a 10:1 ratio for self-promotion. The short explanation of this rule means that you should participate in the subreddit, not just submit links to your channel or site and leave. Content should also be original work (no re-uploads) and be more than a simple recap of a video/article.
No Cheats.
Glitches existing in-game are ok to discuss, but threads advertising services or apps for cheats are forbidden. When in doubt, ask the mods first.

It's okay to criticize/insult an idea. Constructive criticism is not only allowed, but encouraged. It is NOT okay to direct a criticism/insult an individual. - No Cheats.
Glitches existing in-game are ok to discuss, but threads advertising services or apps for cheats are forbidden. When in doubt, ask the mods first. - Regarding in-game Bugs & Bans
If you have questions regarding in-game bans, please refer to: support.gearsofwar.com Discussing Bugs is allowed, but the official way to support them is: support.gearsofwar.com . Excessive posts about bugs may be removed. - No Shitposting
Shitposts with no real message or foundation behind it will be judged on a case by case basis. Memes may be removed at any time, for any reason, and that reason will be "low effort". - No links to piracy/leaks/emulation content
Sharing links to content containing pirated or emulated game assets and leaked content is prohibited. - Follow Reddiquette
[Redditquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439) TL;DR, don't be a dick. There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the big take-away from the article.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
