r/CryptoCurrency rules, stats, and what to post

This community describes itself as the leading community for cryptocurrency news, discussion, and analysis. So the room is full of people who want to talk about crypto itself, what is happening in the market, and what they think about it. The rules make it clear this is a discussion place, not a place to sell. There are rules about core principles, spam, manipulation, illegal activity, content standards, personal information, content theft, staying on topic, suitable titles and flairs, and how to talk to the mod team. That list tells you the moderators here care about quality and honesty, and they have seen every trick a promoter can try.

The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “Spam”, which spells out that posting referral, promo links, or codes of any kind is strictly prohibited and will be met with a long-term or permanent ban. That is about as strict as Reddit rules get. “On Topic Discussion” matters because your post has to actually be about cryptocurrency. “Suitable Titles and Flairs” matters because you need an accurate title and the right flair. “Content Standards” and “Core Principles” cover the general quality bar. “Manipulation” matters if you are thinking about voting tricks or shill behavior. “Content Theft” means you cannot repost someone else's work as your own. And “Communicate With the Mod Team” is the rule to remember if you ever need to ask a moderator anything.

A good post here is a genuine contribution to cryptocurrency news, discussion, or analysis, and nothing else. Write an accurate title, pick the correct flair, and keep every word of the post on the topic of cryptocurrency. If you are a founder in this space, share what you learned, ask a real question, or offer analysis, and do it without any link that could be read as a promo. If you are unsure whether something counts as promotion, treat it as promotion and leave it out, because the survival tip here is blunt: never post referral codes or promotional links anywhere.

Avoid referral links, promo links, and codes of any kind, because the rules say they are strictly prohibited and will be met with a long-term or permanent ban. That includes saying PM for referral, asking for referral codes, and linking to sites that exist mainly for referrals. Avoid off topic posts, since the community removes them immediately. Avoid clickbait or inaccurate titles and wrong flairs, because “Suitable Titles and Flairs” covers that. Avoid reposting other people's work, because “Content Theft” applies. Avoid manipulation of any kind, and if you need to contact the mod team, follow “Communicate With the Mod Team” rather than arguing in threads.

This is one of the strictest promo rules I have seen in any evidence set, a long-term or permanent ban just for referral links, and it is written right there in the rule itself. My honest read is that this community has been burned so many times that the mods stopped giving second chances. If you build in crypto, this is a place to earn trust through discussion over months, not a place to launch anything. I would treat every link in your draft as a risk and ask yourself if the post survives with the link deleted.
