Rule summary
- No advertising.: Users may advertise their own bots, but only in response to others questions or concerns. Servers are not allowed to be advertised, unless they are in response to a question or topic, and it is preferred for them to be support servers, not just random ones. All other forms of advertisement are prohibited.
- Posts must have bodies.: In order for community members to assist you, they need to know what exactly you need help with. You must add a body to your post - the title never ever says it all, despite what you may think.
- No low effort posts: Please use Capitals and punctuation. Paragraphs in long posts. This will keep us clear of spam.
- Disclose whether an offer is paid or free: To keep people from wasting their time, we need people to state whether their offer to make a bot is paid or free. This MUST be explicitly told, not hinted or implied. The price must be stated or estimated in your offer
- Follow Discord ToS: We try to fall in line with the Discord ToS, which means encouraging, asking for/offering help for, and suggesting the breaking of Discord ToS in any way is not allowed. Discussion on said topics (eg. "Does using my user token break Discord ToS?") are allowed.
- No 'Bot Support' Questions: This subreddit is meant for Discord bot development and as such we cannot tell you how to do something with a specific bot. If you have issues with an existing bot please consult their developers through their support server or other means they provide.
- All posts must be about Discord bots: All posts must be about Discord bots
Works well
- A detailed post asking a specific question about building a Discord bot, with a clear body explaining the problem.
- A response to someone's question where you mention your own bot as a solution, keeping it relevant and not promotional for its own sake.
- An offer to build a bot that explicitly states whether it is paid or free and includes a price or estimate.
- A discussion about Discord bot development that stays within Discord ToS and focuses on the technical side.
Avoid
- Do not advertise a bot out of nowhere, only mention it when answering someone's question or concern.
- Do not advertise a Discord server unless it directly responds to a question or topic, and keep it to support servers rather than random ones.
- Do not write a title-only post, the body is required every time.
- Do not skip capitalization, punctuation, or paragraphs, or your post will be removed for low effort.
- Do not leave pricing vague if you are offering to make a bot, you must state or estimate the price explicitly.
- Do not suggest, encourage, or offer help with breaking Discord ToS, though discussing whether something breaks ToS is allowed.
What r/Discord_Bots Is For
This community is for people building and developing Discord bots. The rules make clear that it is a development subreddit, not a place to get help using or fixing an existing bot you did not make. If you have a question, an offer, or something related to building Discord bots, this is the room for it.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for anyone doing marketing here are "No advertising.", "Posts must have bodies.", "No low effort posts", and "Disclose whether an offer is paid or free". You also need to respect "No 'Bot Support' Questions" and "All posts must be about Discord bots". The "Follow Discord ToS" rule is straightforward but worth keeping in mind if your bot does anything unusual with automation or tokens.
What To Post
A good post here is detailed and specific to Discord bot development. Write a clear title and then a real body paragraph explaining what you need help with or what you are offering. If you are offering to build a bot for someone, state upfront whether it is paid or free and include a price or estimate. If you want to share your own bot, wait for a relevant question or topic where your bot is the answer, then mention it in that context. Keep everything on the topic of Discord bots and write with proper capitalization and punctuation.
What To Avoid
Avoid any form of standalone advertising. The "No advertising." rule is strict, you can only mention your own bot or support server when it directly answers someone's question or concern. Do not post without a body, since "Posts must have bodies." is enforced and a title alone will not cut it. Avoid low effort writing, the "No low effort posts" rule asks for proper capitalization, punctuation, and paragraphs. If you offer to build a bot, never leave pricing unstated, the "Disclose whether an offer is paid or free" rule requires you to say whether it is paid or free and to state or estimate the price. Do not ask for help with a specific existing bot, since "No 'Bot Support' Questions" removes those. Stay within Discord ToS, because "Follow Discord ToS" is enforced.
