Rules can change, so Rankhog stores verification dates with each MDX page and keeps the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

No spam or direct self-advertising: Direct ads, self-promotion, and service offers are removed. The safest posts teach or ask a real content marketing question.
Keep quality high: Basic questions, thin posts, and low-effort content can be removed when the answer is easy to find elsewhere.
Stay on content marketing: Posts should be about content strategy, distribution, measurement, writing, or related content operations.
Avoid low-quality SEO crossposts: Crossposts from SEO communities can be removed when they are not clearly relevant to content marketing.

Works well

Specific content strategy questions with audience, channel, and constraints.
Breakdowns of distribution experiments, content refreshes, or editorial process changes.
Useful summaries of articles or research with the key takeaways written directly in the post.
Tactical answers to content workflow, briefing, measurement, or SEO content questions.

Avoid

Direct agency, tool, guest-post, or link-exchange offers.
Top-10 style article drops with no summary or discussion prompt.
Generic SEO crossposts that do not explain the content marketing angle.
Thin requests for free strategy without context, goals, or constraints.
