Rule summary

  • Submission Guidelines: Follow the Reddit site-wide rules and please treat others with respect, stay on-topic, and avoid non-productive self-promotion. No spam. Lead Selling/Buying/Promotions must be posted in the weekly Promotion thread! (A post that will always be pinned at the top of the community)
  • No Direct Sales Or Non-Productive Self-Promotion: Please don’t mention your company/lead generation system/lead list unless it’s relevant and actually helpful for someone reading. Overdoing it results in a ban. Direct sales that are unsolicited are forbidden as well. No PM requests please, and no promotion for other communities outside Reddit. Lead Selling/Buying/Promotion requests must be posted in the weekly Promotion thread! (A post that will always be pinned at the top of the community)
  • Posting MCA Industry Relevant Contents Only: Please keep the discussions oriented around MCA Industry, Fintech, or even personal aspects of both the industries. If posts/comments are not somehow helping anyone in regards to the topic, removals and bans will be enforced.
  • Blog Posts Rules: You may submit your blog post as long as the main ideas are in the Reddit post. You need to provide value to people through your post and not simply present what you're talking about in your article. The more value you provide in the body of the Reddit post, the safer it is to say that it won't be removed. The only way a link is allowed is at the end of the post (“Originally posted here”), unless highly relevant (don't abuse this). Anything else will be removed/banned.
  • Be Kind And Supportive — Criticise Ideas, Not People: At the end of the day, we’re all trying to make the world better for us and for those around us. "Be nice and supportive" is common sense. Try to criticise objectively and not personally.
  • Other Bad Behaviour: 1. Doxing－Posting or seeking personal information, dox attempts or threats 2. Flooding－Posting excessively frequently 3. Duplicates－Reposting news or information 4. Plagiarism－Not giving credit properly 5. Hyping－Pushing speculative, volatile, illiquid, or meme investments, especially flippantly, tersely, or implying huge returns 6. Missing－Disappearing after posting a discussion 7. Sneaky- Sabotaging threads will sales, promotion or irrelevant comments
  • Politicizing: We don't allow: 1. Moralizing issues 2. Petitions or calls-to-action 3. Political discussions 4. Political baiting 5. Soapboxing
  • Consolidation ban: Please do not promote Consolidation services, debt relief services and so on.

Works well

  • A plain write up of an industry trend or piece of MCA news with your own take and reasoning spelled out in the post body, fitting “Posting MCA Industry Relevant Contents Only”.
  • A lessons learned post about operating in the MCA or fintech space, written as real value for other operators rather than a pitch.
  • A blog post republished properly, with the main ideas fully written out in the Reddit post and a single “Originally posted here” link at the very end.
  • A technology or process question that invites brokers and funders to share how they handle a common industry problem, which keeps you present without selling.
  • Any lead buying, selling, or promotion placed inside the pinned weekly Promotion thread instead of the main feed.

Avoid

  • Mentioning your company, lead generation system, or lead list when it is not clearly relevant and helpful, since “No Direct Sales Or Non-Productive Self-Promotion” says overdoing this results in a ban.
  • Posting lead selling, buying, or promotion anywhere other than the pinned weekly Promotion thread.
  • Sending unsolicited direct sales messages or asking people to PM you.
  • Dropping a blog link with no substance, when the rule says the main ideas must be in the Reddit post and the only allowed link is “Originally posted here” at the end.
  • Promoting consolidation or debt relief services, which is flatly banned under “Consolidation ban”.
  • Going off topic into politics, petitions, calls-to-action, or soapboxing, which “Politicizing” does not allow.

What r/MCAlegend Is For

This is a home for people who work in the merchant cash advance industry. The description says it plainly, a community for industry experts to hang out and have meaningful conversations about the MCA world. The topics covered are industry news, insights, and technology perspectives on a multi billion dollar space. Rule three widens the door slightly, saying discussions can cover the MCA industry, Fintech, or personal aspects of both. So the people posting here are brokers, funders, and operators who live in this niche, and they expect posts that actually help someone thinking about the industry.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The first rule that decides survival is “Submission Guidelines”, which says avoid non-productive self-promotion and no spam, and that lead selling, buying, and promotions must go in the weekly Promotion thread pinned at the top of the community. Then “No Direct Sales Or Non-Productive Self-Promotion” raises the stakes, because it says overdoing it results in a ban, forbids unsolicited direct sales, forbids PM requests, and repeats that lead selling, buying, and promotion requests belong in the weekly thread. “Posting MCA Industry Relevant Contents Only” keeps the room on topic, warning that posts or comments not helping anyone on the topic face removals and bans. If you want to share your own writing, “Blog Posts Rules” sets the terms, meaning the main ideas must be in the Reddit post body and the only way a link is allowed is at the end as “Originally posted here”, unless it is highly relevant and not abused. “Other Bad Behaviour” matters too, since it bans flooding, duplicates, plagiarism, disappearing after posting a discussion, and sneaky sales or promotion comments in other people's threads. Finally, “Consolidation ban” is an absolute line, saying do not promote consolidation services or debt relief services.

What To Post

A good post here teaches something true about the merchant cash advance or fintech world and asks for nothing up front. Think a breakdown of an industry trend, a lesson from running a funding operation, or a technology angle the room has not hashed out yet. If you write a blog, put the real substance in the Reddit post itself, the full ideas and takeaways, and only add your link at the end as “Originally posted here”. If you have something to sell or you want to buy or sell leads, take it straight to the pinned weekly Promotion thread, that thread exists exactly for this and keeps your main feed activity clean. Answer questions generously and come back after posting, because the rules call out people who disappear after starting a discussion.

What To Avoid

The fastest way out is selling outside the pinned weekly thread. The rules name the removal triggers directly, promoting services outside the weekly thread, posting things that lack industry relevance, and direct sales with links. Do not mention your company, lead generation system, or lead list unless it is genuinely relevant and helpful, and never ask people to PM you. Blog posts get removed when the body is thin and the link does all the work, because the rule requires the main ideas in the post itself. Stay away from consolidation and debt relief promotion entirely, that rule allows no exceptions. Avoid politics, petitions, and calls to action, and skip the bad behaviours list, no doxing, flooding, duplicate posts, plagiarism, hyping investments, vanishing after you start a discussion, or dropping sales comments into other people's threads.

Common questions about r/MCAlegend

Can I sell or buy leads here?

Only in the weekly Promotion thread, the post pinned at the top of the community. A separate post selling or buying leads breaks “Submission Guidelines” and “No Direct Sales Or Non-Productive Self-Promotion”.

Can I share my own blog post?

Yes, under “Blog Posts Rules”, if the main ideas are written out in the Reddit post body and the link appears only at the end as “Originally posted here”.

Can I mention my company at all?

Yes, if it is relevant and genuinely helpful to someone reading, and if you do not overdo it. The rules allow relevant mentions but warn that overdoing it results in a ban.

Is debt relief or consolidation promotion allowed?

No. “Consolidation ban” says do not promote consolidation services, debt relief services, and so on.

What topics are on-topic here?

Stick to MCA industry, Fintech, or personal aspects of both, and make sure the post actually helps someone on that topic.
