What its rules say about promotion

No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion
We allow occasional promotion of local events or small businesses (e.g., once a month), but pure advertising spam is not allowed. Accounts that exist solely to promote a business or product will be banned.
All 5 rules of r/Pretoria
  1. Be Civil and Respectful
    Disagreement is fine; disrespect is not. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, and slurs are not tolerated. Treat fellow Pretorians with basic courtesy - be lekker.
  2. No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion
    We allow occasional promotion of local events or small businesses (e.g., once a month), but pure advertising spam is not allowed. Accounts that exist solely to promote a business or product will be banned.
  3. Protect Private Information (No Doxing)
    Do not post personal information (names, phone numbers, addresses) of others. If you found a lost ID or bank card, hide the ID number and name before posting the photo, or hand it in to the police/issuer directly.
  4. No Begging, Crowdfunding, or Financial Solicitation
    Posts or comments asking for financial assistance, e-wallets, "loans," or material donations are strictly prohibited. This includes links to GoFundMe, BackaBuddy, or personal bank details. This rule is in place to protect the community from potential scams. If you are in need, please contact a registered NPO or charity organization.
  5. Keep Content Relevant to Pretoria (Tshwane)
    All posts must have a direct link to the City of Pretoria or the greater Tshwane municipality. General South African news should go to /r/southafrica. Posts specific to Johannesburg or other cities will be removed. If the connection to Pretoria isn't obvious in the link/image, please explain it in the title.

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  • Unpublished minimums.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.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
