Make relevant comments that add value to the discussion Be Respectful as well!: Make relevant comments that add value to the discussion Be Respectful as well!
No AI Answers: There is no value in you going to Google or any other AI tool and then copying and pasting in their answer to a question. AI results for Bali are, generally, awful and if the questioner wanted an AI answer, they could get one without your help. Please only answer something you feel you can really contribute to.

Works well

A first-hand writeup of one specific place in Bali you visited, what it was actually like, and one thing you would do differently
A question at least one full sentence long about a real travel decision you are facing in Bali or Indonesia, asked to learn rather than to promote
Helpful comments on other travellers' questions, written from your own experience and adding something the thread does not already have
A story about a travel mistake in Bali and what it taught you, told honestly with no link and no product mention
Practical answers about getting around, where to stay, or what to skip, based only on what you personally did

Avoid

Posting links to your YouTube channel, Discord server, or business website, because “No self-promotion/advertisement/Spam” names these directly and says accounts made just for this get a permanent ban
Pasting answers from Google or an AI tool into someone's question, because “No AI Answers” says AI results for Bali are generally awful and only first-hand contributions are welcome
Asking a short question like “best area in Bali?”, because “Ask Quality questions atleast a sentence or longer” sets a minimum length
Starting a thread about your product, service, or client even without a link, because the rules define advertisement broadly and the moderator one-liner says promotional posts are removed
Going off topic to Indonesia's neighbors or unrelated business talk, because “Post and comment something that related to r/BaliTravelTips” limits the room to Bali and Indonesia travel
Dropping a one-line comment that adds nothing, because “Make relevant comments that add value to the discussion Be Respectful as well!” requires relevance and value

What r/BaliTravelTips Is For

This is a community for people who travel to Bali and Indonesia. The description says it exists to help you learn how to travel Bali and Indonesia, hear unique travel stories, find the best destinations, and pick up travel tips and ideas from other members. So the people posting here are travellers planning a trip, travellers sharing what they found, and locals or frequent visitors answering questions. It is a tips and stories room, not a business room. Everything you post should help someone plan, enjoy, or understand a trip to Bali or Indonesia.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule that decides most things here is “No self-promotion/advertisement/Spam”. It bans promoting YouTube channels, Discord invites, SEO posts and comments, and business or gambling sites. It also says accounts created only for promotion always get a permanent ban, and people who promote too much can get warned or banned too. The second rule that matters is “No AI Answers”. You cannot copy an answer from Google or an AI tool and paste it here, because the community says AI answers about Bali are generally awful and it only wants what you can really contribute. The third is “Post and comment something that related to r/BaliTravelTips”, which keeps every post and comment on Bali and Indonesia travel. Then there is “Ask Quality questions atleast a sentence or longer”, so any question you ask must be a full sentence at minimum. Finally, “Make relevant comments that add value to the discussion Be Respectful as well!” sets the bar for every comment you leave.

What To Post

Post real travel knowledge from your own experience. If you have spent time in Bali, write up an honest guide to a place you actually visited, a mistake you made, or a tip that saved you money or time. Ask genuine questions that are at least one full sentence long, like asking how people handled a specific travel situation. Answer other people's questions with your own first-hand knowledge, never with something copied from a search result or an AI tool. As a founder, the respectful play is to show up as a helpful traveller with no link and no pitch. If your product is travel related, this community teaches you what real travellers worry about, and that knowledge is worth more than any post you could sneak in.

What To Avoid

The fastest way to get banned is self-promotion. The rule “No self-promotion/advertisement/Spam” lists YouTube channel promotion, Discord room invitations, SEO posts or comments, and business or gambling site promotion. It warns that violators may get a warning, a temporary ban, or a permanent ban, and accounts created only for promotion always get a permanent ban. Excessive self-promotion gets the same treatment even if each post looks small on its own. Pasting AI or Google answers gets you removed under “No AI Answers”. Off topic posts break “Post and comment something that related to r/BaliTravelTips”. Questions shorter than a sentence break “Ask Quality questions atleast a sentence or longer”. And harassment, flaming, or doxxing breaks “No harrassing/ flaming/ doxxing”, which asks everyone to keep a positive collaborative environment.
