Can I mention my product if I do not link to it?
No. “No Promotion or Solicitation” bans advertising anything you are affiliated with, and the policy brief confirms promotion is banned outright.

Rule summary
- General Advice Disclaimer: All user flairs and qualifications are self-declared and not verified. Information shared here is general in nature only and should not be relied upon. Before making any financial decisions, consult a licensed professional.
- Relevance and Quality: Contributions must be directly related to property in Australia, including buying, selling, renting, owning, or investing in residential or commercial property. low-effort, trolling, repetitive, misleading, off-topic, duplicate, meme, alarmist or spam content is not permitted.
- Etiquette and Respect: A range of opinions and debate is encouraged. Challenge ideas, not individuals. Personal attacks, harassment, threats, and abusive or vulgar language are not permitted. Repeated or disruptive behavior is also not permitted. Content will be removed and may result in an immediate ban at moderator discretion.
- No Attacks on Property Participants: Attacks on people or groups for legally participating in the market are not permitted. This includes hostility or moral judgement for buying, owning, renting or investing in property, for legally operating within the free market, or for being an investor, landlord, tenant, agent, homeowner or boomer. These are legitimate forms of participation supported within this community. Attacking the legal exercise of choices within the property market will not be tolerated.
- Professional Participation: Professionals may identify themselves via their username and within their profile, where commercial details can be listed. Please contribute as a professional, not a business. No promotion or solicitation is permitted. Content must not be used to generate leads, clients, investors, jobs, funding, or commercial engagement of any kind. Users may choose to contact others independently via their profile. Professionals must not use this subreddit to initiate, prompt, or facilitate that contact.
- No Promotion or Solicitation: Active or implied promotion of any kind is not permitted. This includes - Advertising or promoting a business, service, or product you are affiliated with - Inviting or steering users toward private contact (e.g. “DM me”, “reach out”) - Indirect or implied solicitation (e.g. positioning for work, job seeking, investor or funding requests, or hinting at services) - Posting links to your own content, or directing users external platforms for commercial purposes
- Defamation & Doxxing: Do not post allegations, complaints, or reviews about identifiable individuals, businesses, or services. This includes naming and criticising agents, companies, or developers. Do not share or request personal or identifying information about any individual. This includes names (where not already public in a professional context), contact details, addresses, social profiles, or any information that could be used to identify or locate someone.
Works well
- A genuine question about how a part of the Australian property market works, like a financing or transaction process you honestly do not understand.
- A plain language breakdown of something you learned while buying, selling, or investing in Australian property, written to help others rather than to sell.
- A balanced discussion starter about a property market trend, framed as a question so the community can debate it.
- An industry professional answering questions with real expertise and no pitch, letting their profile carry any commercial details.
- A thoughtful response to someone else's thread that shows you know the space, with no link and no ask attached.
Avoid
- Posting a link to your own blog, tool, or landing page, because “No Promotion or Solicitation” explicitly covers links to your own content.
- Asking people to DM you or saying reach out, which the rules name as steering users toward private contact.
- Hinting at your services without naming them, since implied solicitation is banned too.
- Naming and criticising an agent, developer, or company, which trips “Defamation & Doxxing”.
- Sharing or asking for anyone's contact details, address, or social profiles.
- Posting a vague or off-topic question that has nothing to do with Australian property, which fails “Relevance and Quality” as low effort or off topic content.
What r/AusPropertyChat Is For
This is an Australian property community for anyone interested in real estate, property finance, or property markets around Australia. The description says both personal and investment interests are welcome, and all property related discussions are welcomed. In practice that means buyers, sellers, renters, owners, and investors talking about residential and commercial property. The rules also make room for professionals like agents, brokers, and other property participants, as long as they behave as professionals and not as businesses. So the room is a mix of everyday people making property decisions and industry people sharing what they know, all under the understanding that nothing here is verified professional advice.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides everything for a founder is “No Promotion or Solicitation”, because it bans active and implied promotion, including advertising anything you are affiliated with, inviting people to DM you, hinting at your services, and posting links to your own content. “Professional Participation” matters just as much if you work in the industry, because you can identify yourself as a professional but must contribute as a professional, not a business, and must not use the subreddit to generate leads or clients of any kind. “Relevance and Quality” is the filter for the post itself, since contributions must be directly related to Australian property and low effort, repetitive, misleading, or spam content is not permitted. “Etiquette and Respect” keeps debate civil, so challenge ideas and never individuals. “No Attacks on Property Participants” is unusual and worth knowing, because hostility or moral judgement toward investors, landlords, tenants, agents, homeowners, or boomers is not tolerated here. “Defamation & Doxxing” means you cannot name and criticise agents, companies, or developers, and you cannot share identifying details about anyone. Finally, the “General Advice Disclaimer” reminds everyone that flairs are self declared and nothing here should be relied on for financial decisions.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine question or observation about Australian property that you would post even if your product did not exist. Think a question about how a market or a transaction works, a plain summary of something you learned while buying, selling, or investing, or a balanced take on a property topic that invites debate. If you work in the industry, share your knowledge openly and let your profile carry any commercial details, because the rules say users may choose to contact you independently. Keep everything grounded in Australian property markets and transactions, write it like a person helping a person, and expect nothing back in the form of clicks or leads. The win here is reputation and understanding, not traffic.
What To Avoid
The fastest removal is anything promotional, so no advertising your business, no links to your own content, no asking people to DM you or reach out, and no hinting at your services or positioning for work. Content must not be used to generate leads, clients, investors, jobs, funding, or any commercial engagement. Off topic posts get removed too, so anything not directly about Australian property buying, selling, renting, owning, or investing is out. Low effort, repetitive, misleading, meme, alarmist, or spam content is not permitted. Do not name and criticise agents, companies, or developers, and never share or ask for personal or identifying information about anyone. No personal attacks, harassment, threats, abusive language, or hostility toward people for legally participating in the property market, including investors, landlords, tenants, agents, homeowners, or boomers. Repeated or disruptive behaviour can get you an immediate ban at moderator discretion.

Common questions about r/AusPropertyChat
I am a mortgage broker or buyers agent, can I answer questions here?
Yes, but only as a professional sharing knowledge, never as a business, and you must not use the post to generate leads or clients.
Can I invite people to message me for help?
No. “Professional Participation” says professionals must not use the subreddit to initiate, prompt, or facilitate contact, and users can find you independently through your profile if they choose to.
Can I share a link to my own article or case study?
No. Posting links to your own content is explicitly listed under “No Promotion or Solicitation” as a commercial purpose.
Can I complain about a specific agent or agency that treated me badly?
No. “Defamation & Doxxing” bans naming and criticising agents, companies, or developers, so keep complaints general or take them elsewhere.
