Hi everyone,
The mod team has a stringent no promotional content policy. This is to allow the board to be focused on the community of Redditors and what they want to share and discuss based on their own personal opinions, and not an attempt to build a brand.
That said the wider Reddit community often includes people who have built unique small tools, written detailed write-ups for their blog worth sharing, or even something bigger.
We'd like to welcome these people in a thread to be posted for the first time next this Friday, the 15th of February. That thread will have the self-promotion rule suspended, with some specific rules outlined below. We hope to repeat this thread periodically.
This post is locked. To discuss the change and other changes to /r/investing visit our discussion thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/aow9p0/meta_discussion_selfpromotional_content/
Rules:
1) Post about your own 'thing' on a top level comment. Don't respond to another top-level comment with your own 'thing'. Link only comments will be removed - you must provide a summary about what you are linking.
2) No mailing list signup comments. We will allow links to a webpage that contains a mailing list sign-up form, but only if the page you are sharing contains meaningful content and you don't highlight the existence of a mailing list in your comment on Reddit.
3) The content you are sharing must be substantially free. There may be paid features locked, but if the entire article cannot be viewed for free or the results of a tool are blocked without payment then it is definitely not substantially free.
4) If collection of user data is required to use the thing you are sharing we STRONGLY encourage you to contact the modteam first. If the modteam becomes concerned about data you collect the comment may be removed and may not be reinstated in a timely manner.
5) No 'special deals' for Reddit. We're not looking to make a sale and deals thread.
6) Do not repeatedly repost the same comment in each thread. Post new content, or if it's the same tool you can use these threads to inform the community of new features and updates. The modteam intends to be fairly relaxed about this rule.
7) No referrals.
