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

Rule summary

  • Stay on permission-based email marketing: Discussions should focus on email marketing, deliverability, newsletters, lifecycle, and related professional practice.
  • No cold email: Unsolicited outreach and cold email advice are outside the community scope.
  • No data brokering: Email list sales, personal data exchange, and data brokering are prohibited.
  • Limit self-promotion: Self-promotion needs clear disclosure, original value, and a high bar for usefulness.

Works well

  • Deliverability, segmentation, lifecycle, and retention questions with real constraints.
  • Examples of email tests, campaign structure, or automation logic.
  • Tool comparisons framed around workflow tradeoffs instead of vendor promotion.
  • Thoughtful critiques of email strategy with screenshots or metrics when appropriate.

Avoid

  • Cold email, scraped-list, or unsolicited outreach advice.
  • Affiliate links, referral links, or financially motivated recommendations.
  • Vendor posts that describe a product without teaching anything new.
  • Low-effort or AI-generated posts with no execution detail.
