What its rules say about promotion

No Promotion, Advertising, or Self-Promo
This community isn’t a place to promote businesses, events, services, or social media. Advertising, self promotion, referral links, fundraising, job posts, and job seeking are not allowed. Genuine discussion and recommendations are allowed, including users asking for or sharing local suggestions, as long as the post is not made to promote a business, brand, service, or account that the poster is connected to.
Keep it Legal
Content that promotes, requests, or facilitates illegal activity is not allowed. Scams, begging, or suspicious financial requests will be removed.
No Violence or Harm
Content that promotes, encourages, glorifies, or condones violence against any person or group is not allowed. This includes suggesting people “deserve” harm, assault, or retaliation. Violations may result in removal and a ban.
No Classifieds or Buying/Selling
Buying, selling, trading, or giving away items or services is not allowed. This helps protect the community from scams.
No External Communities
r/Manchester does not have an official external community. Posts or comments sharing or promoting off-platform groups, including Discord servers, are not allowed. This helps protect users from spam, scams, and unmoderated spaces, and keeps discussions within Reddit where they can be properly moderated.

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  • Unpublished minimums.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.
