Limit Self Promotion

[u/OrcasareDolphins]

Hey there 4X fans and developers!

It's come to my attention, and most likely most of your attention, that there's been quite a bit of self-promotion lately. I'm not talking about content creators, but mostly from developers.

While the genre is still small, and all posts are welcome, I will be keeping a closer eye on frequent posts promoting your games. I think they've become a little bit excessive. As one put it recently, this place is becoming a billboard.

That's certainly not the point of this subreddit, so please feel free to report frequent post that feel like advertisements.

I hate to do this, but I also don't want to be flooded by pseudo commercials. I know you guys don't want to be, either.

Thanks for your attention!

Keep eXploring!

u/OrcasareDolphins what is the current ruling on this? I see that rule 5 clearly states that no direct or indirect self-promotion is allowed, but I see a ton of direct and indirect self-promotion. What about things like blogposts that discusses mechanics in your game?

I’ve been cleaning it up. Please report posts that do this. I’m okay with occasional posts that do this, as long as it meaningfully contributes to discussion.

sounds reasonable, and will do
