Rule summary
- Be nice and keep criticism constructive.: Be nice.
- No posts about illegal activity, drugs or pervert posting.: Posts about illegal activity will be removed, this rule is enforced by Reddit. This is not a place to post about picking up, meeting couples, soft marketing for OnlyFans etc.
- No sales, marketing, hiring, gofundme, survey posts.: Posts related to selling things, job opportunities, raising money or hiring staff/services will be removed. This includes any reselling or attempting to share costs of tickets.
- No meetup, "DM me" or AI slop posts.: Reddit is a platform for sharing information and discussion, don't post threads or comments asking for people to directly message or meetup. You should also write your own posts, not use AI.
Works well
- A firsthand trip report about a specific area of Bali, written in your own words, with no links and no product mentions.
- A thoughtful answer to someone's tourism question in the comments, based on your own experience on the island.
- A local news update about Bali, shared as a discussion starter, with no promotional angle at all.
Avoid
- Posting anything that sells, hires, raises money, or promotes a product, since the rule No sales, marketing, hiring, gofundme, survey posts covers all of that.
- Writing posts with AI tools, because the rule No meetup, DM me or AI slop posts explicitly bans AI-generated content.
- Asking people to DM you or meet up, which the same rule calls out directly.
- Posting about illegal activity, drugs, or adult content, which the rule No posts about illegal activity, drugs or pervert posting removes.
- Sharing costs of tickets or reselling anything, since the sales rule includes those too.
What r/bali Is For
This community is for people who care about Bali. The description says it covers local news, tourism discussions, and everything Bali. Based on that, the people posting here are likely tourists planning trips, expats living on the island, and locals sharing updates. It is a general discussion room for anything Bali related, not a place for business promotion.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that matters most for anyone with marketing instincts is No sales, marketing, hiring, gofundme, survey posts. It covers selling, job posts, fundraising, hiring, reselling, and even splitting ticket costs. The next one to watch is No meetup, DM me or AI slop posts, which bans AI-written content and any request for direct messages or meetups. No posts about illegal activity, drugs or pervert posting keeps the room clean of anything shady. Be nice and keep criticism constructive sets the tone for how you talk to people.
What To Post
Since promotion is banned, your only path here is to participate as a real person who cares about Bali. If you have a genuine question about visiting, or a real experience to share about a place on the island, that is the kind of post the room exists for. A founder doing respectful Reddit marketing would answer tourism questions in the comments, share local knowledge, and build a reputation over time. You are not posting to get customers. You are posting because you actually have something useful to say about Bali.
What To Avoid
Do not post anything that sells, markets, hires, raises money, or surveys people. Do not resell or try to share ticket costs. Do not write posts with AI. Do not ask anyone to DM you or meet up. Do not post about illegal activity, drugs, or adult content. Do not be rude or unconstructive in your comments.
