Can I post about my own product or app?
No. “Sin publicidad” bans advertising, self promotion, and referral or affiliate links, so a launch post or a link to your product will be removed.

Rule summary
- No se avala la discusion de ilegalidades: No se toleran comentarios que fomentan el lavado de activos, evasión de impuestos, discusion de movimientos o tenicas ilegales. Si la elusión o mitigación de impuestos.
- Consultas basicas en el thread diario: Para evitar repeticion de consultas basicas, spammeo de nuevos threads e incentivar la discusión de contenido de calidad, todas las consultas basicas se tienen que postear en el thread diario de consultas basicas
- Sin publicidad: Sin publicidad, auto-promoción o links de referidos/afiliados.
- Sin política: Ya tenemos bastante con los noticieros y el ruido diario de las redes sociales. Discusión sobre medidas politicas/economicas que afectan directamente a las inversiones son bienvenidas. Ranteos que no aportan nada, abstenerse.
- Sin futurologia, desinformacion o manipulacion: Nadie tiene certezas sobre el precio del dolar o de X activo a futuro, estas discusiones no suelen llegar a ningun lado ni aportar nada. Escribí y compartí en forma responsable. Antes de opinar sobre algo que no sabes informate, seguí a los que saben, estudiá. Podes preguntar lo que quieras. Esta regla solamente aplica a opiniones no fundamentadas! No necesitamos rumores ni estafas.
- Sin burlas, falta de respeto ni discriminación: No significa que no podamos escribir malas palabras. Pero nunca faltar el respeto a otro, ni insultando, menospreciarlo o discriminarlo. En este sub nos ayudamos. Controlate y evitá ser expulsado
- Sin memes/shitposting: Memes y contenido de baja calidad no es bienvenido. Tratemos de subir el nivel del sub con material que aporte informacion útil para inversores.
- Imagen sin fuente/Low effort/Fuente dudosa, tabloide: No se permite postear imagenes sin una breve explicacion o analisis. Las imagenees o capturas deben incluir su fuente original con el fin de que los usuarios puedan informarse en contexto.
- Noticias o temas nuevos y relevantes a los inversores. Sin low-effort / spam: Antes de consultar un tema buscar en el sub si no hay un thread al respecto. Incluir siempre las fuentes, deben ser confiables (idealmente mas de una) y un breve texto para fomentar la discusion.
- Seguir normas de reddiquette: [Normas basicas de posteo en reddit](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/es/reddiquette). Escribir titulos descriptivos y concisos en los posts nuevos, sin clickbait.
- No es un marketplace: No es un subreddit para compraventa, no se permite publicidad o busqueda de compradores/vendedores.
Works well
- A thoughtful question about an investing topic that is too specific for the daily thread, posted after searching the subreddit first.
- Sharing a news item that directly affects Argentine investors, with reliable sources, ideally more than one, and a short text inviting discussion.
- Posting a chart or screenshot with its original source and a brief analysis of what it means for investors.
- Answering other people's questions in the daily thread with what you have actually learned, building trust before you ever mention what you do.
- A discussion of an economic measure that directly affects investments, kept factual and tied to its investment impact.
Avoid
- Posting any kind of advertisement, self promotion, or referral or affiliate link, because “Sin publicidad” bans all of it outright.
- Asking a basic question as a new post instead of the daily thread, which breaks “Consultas basicas en el thread diario”.
- Sharing a screenshot or chart with no source and no short analysis, which trips “Imagen sin fuente/Low effort/Fuente dudosa, tabloide”.
- Posting memes or low effort content, which “Sin memes/shitposting” removes.
- Making price predictions or spreading rumors without grounding, which breaks “Sin futurologia, desinformacion o manipulacion”.
- Dropping a link with no sources or discussion text, which breaks “Noticias o temas nuevos y relevantes a los inversores. Sin low-effort / spam” and “Sin publicidad” at the same time.
What r/merval Is For
This is a Spanish speaking community for Argentines who care about finance and investing. The description says everyone is welcome, from brand new investors to experienced ones, and that people come to ask questions, discuss, and help each other by answering. The rules make clear the community wants quality content for investors, so the room is full of people who study markets, follow sources, and expect the same from you. It is explicitly not a place for buying and selling, for promotion, or for politics that adds nothing.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides everything marketing related is “Sin publicidad”, which bans advertising, self promotion, and referral or affiliate links. “Consultas basicas en el thread diario” pushes all basic questions into the daily thread instead of new posts. “Noticias o temas nuevos y relevantes a los inversores. Sin low-effort / spam” demands reliable sources and a short text that invites discussion before you share news or a topic. “Imagen sin fuente/Low effort/Fuente dudosa, tabloide” requires every image or screenshot to come with a source and a brief explanation or analysis. “Sin futurologia, desinformacion o manipulacion” removes unfounded opinions, rumors, and scams. “Sin memes/shitposting” bans memes and low quality content. “No es un marketplace” bans buying, selling, and looking for buyers or sellers. “Sin política” allows discussion of political or economic measures that directly affect investments, but not empty ranting. “No se avala la discusion de ilegalidades” bans any talk of illegal moves, including tax evasion.
What To Post
For a founder, the honest path here is to participate, not to pitch. Ask a genuine, specific question about investing in the daily thread if it is basic, or as a proper post if it is deeper. If you share news or data, always include reliable sources, ideally more than one, plus a short text explaining why it matters to investors. If you post a chart or screenshot, add the original source and a brief analysis of your own. Write descriptive, non clickbait titles, search the subreddit first to see if your topic already has a thread, and keep anything political tied directly to how it affects investments. If your product ever comes up, let it happen through a genuine answer to someone asking, never through a link or a launch post.
What To Avoid
Any promotion gets you removed, including referral and affiliate links, and rule eleven makes it clear this is not a marketplace either. Basic questions posted outside the daily thread get removed. Memes, shitposting, and low effort content are not welcome. Images or screenshots without a source and a short analysis get removed. Unfounded predictions about prices, rumors, and scams are out, and so is any discussion of illegal activity like tax evasion. Disrespect, insults, and discrimination can get you expelled, and empty political rants are not welcome either.

Common questions about r/merval
Can I ask a simple beginner question?
Yes, but only inside the daily thread for basic questions, never as a new post, per “Consultas basicas en el thread diario”.
Can I share a news article or a chart?
Only if it is genuinely relevant to investors, includes reliable sources, ideally more than one, and comes with a short text that invites discussion, per “Noticias o temas nuevos y relevantes a los inversores. Sin low-effort / spam”.
Can I offer my services or find clients here?
No. “No es un marketplace” bans buying, selling, and looking for buyers or sellers.
I am new to investing, am I still welcome?
Yes, the description says new and experienced investors are all welcome to ask, discuss, and collaborate, and “Sin futurologia, desinformacion o manipulacion” explicitly says you can ask whatever you want.
