Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Respect others and be civil: No harassment, hate speech, or toxic behavior. Treat all contributors and members with kindness.
- No spam: Excessive promotion, spam, or advertising of any kind is not allowed.
Works well
- A question post asking how others structure affiliate commissions or payouts for their partners
- A short write up of a lesson you learned recruiting or managing resellers, with no product mentioned
- A discussion starter about paying creators fairly or tracking partner performance honestly
- A genuine ask for advice on a specific partner problem you are facing right now
- A summary of what you would do differently when starting a partner program from scratch, written to help others
Avoid
- Posting an advertisement for your affiliate program, tool, or service, because “No spam” bans advertising of any kind
- Dropping the same promotional link across multiple posts or comments, which reads as excessive promotion
- Writing a post that is really a pitch with a thin question wrapped around it
- Being pushy or rude when someone disagrees with you, since “Respect others and be civil” covers harassment and toxic behavior
- Treating the community as a lead list and messaging members with offers
- Reposting your promo with small edits after it gets removed, which is the textbook spam pattern
What r/dubdotco Is For
This community describes itself as the modern partner growth engine. It is a place for people who recruit, manage, and pay partners of all kinds, so affiliates, creators, publishers, resellers, and similar partner types. The people posting here are most likely founders, marketers, and operators who run or want to run partner and affiliate programs, plus the people who support that work. Think of it as a room for the practical side of partner growth, from finding partners to keeping them happy and paying them correctly.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Two rules decide everything here. The first is “Respect others and be civil”, which asks you to treat all contributors and members with kindness and rules out harassment, hate speech, and toxic behavior. The second is “No spam”, which says excessive promotion, spam, or advertising of any kind is not allowed. That second rule is the one a founder has to think about before every post, because this community sits close to marketing territory and the bar for what counts as advertising is set low. The policy brief also leaves links, AI content, and most other specifics unknown, so the safe read is that anything shaped like a promo is at risk.
What To Post
Post things a partner growth practitioner would genuinely want to read, with no pitch attached. A clear question about how to structure commissions or recruit your first affiliates fits the room. A short write up of what worked and what failed when you managed partners can work, as long as it teaches something and does not end in a sales line. Discussion starters about paying creators or managing resellers also fit the description of the community. If your product happens to be relevant, let someone else discover it or wait until a post explicitly invites tool recommendations. The test is simple, would this post still be useful to readers if your company did not exist.
What To Avoid
The obvious risk is advertising. A post that pitches your product, drops a link to your affiliate tool, or asks people to sign up for your program will read as advertising, and the rule bans advertising of any kind, not just excessive amounts of it. Repeated self promotion across posts or comments is the other clear tripwire, since that is exactly what excessive promotion means. Being rude, dismissive, or hostile to other members breaks the civility rule too. If you would not say it to a partner face to face, do not say it here.

Common questions about r/dubdotco
Can I promote my affiliate tool here?
The rules allow normal discussion, but “No spam” bans excessive promotion and advertising of any kind, so a post that exists mainly to sell will not survive.
Can I share my own experience building a partner program?
Yes, if the post is a genuine question, a lesson, or a discussion that stands on its own, and the promotion is not the point of it.
Are links allowed?
The evidence does not say, so treat links as risky and only include one when it is truly needed for the discussion.
What happens if I break the rules?
The rules mention removal of spam and advertising, and uncivil behavior is also against the rules, so a ban is a real risk if you ignore them.
