Rule summary
- Be respectful: You shouldn't ever be personally attacking another user in this subreddit.
- No advertisements / Unsolicited Self-promotion: No advertisements. No selling/trading posts.
- Report your affiliations: If you're linking to your own site, you need to disclose that fact. Either through getting flair from a moderator or by telling people when you're linking your own site.
- Dangerous/grey area substances: Potentially dangerous grey area substances should not be recommended.
- No "where to buy" or "looking for vendor" type posts.: Due to spam, we can not allow posts from users asking where the best place to buy nootropic products. These types of posts will be removed.
Works well
- Share a personal experience with a nootropic and what you learned from it, with no product link.
- Ask a specific question about a nootropic compound or stack to start a discussion.
- Link to your own educational article about nootropics, with a clear statement that it is your site.
- Contribute a detailed answer to someone else's question about nootropics, based on your knowledge.
- Request moderator flair for your affiliation before posting any link to your own site.
Avoid
- Posting any advertisement or selling and trading post, since the rule "No advertisements / Unsolicited Self-promotion" forbids it.
- Linking to your own site without disclosing your affiliation through moderator flair or a direct statement in the post.
- Asking where to buy nootropics or looking for vendor recommendations, which the rule "No where to buy or looking for vendor type posts" removes.
- Recommending any potentially dangerous or grey area substances.
- Personally attacking another user, which breaks the "Be respectful" rule.
What r/NootropicsHelp Is For
This community is for discussing all things nootropics, based on its public description. The rules tell me the moderators want a respectful space where people talk about nootropics without ads, hidden affiliations, vendor requests, or dangerous substance recommendations. There are no observed top posts available, so I am working only from the description and the five published rules.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule "Be respectful" sets the tone and means you should never attack anyone. The rule "No advertisements / Unsolicited Self-promotion" is the one that will kill a marketing post, because it bans ads and selling or trading posts. The rule "Report your affiliations" is the one that gives you a conditional path to share your own site, as long as you disclose it. The rule "Dangerous/grey area substances" matters if your product touches anything questionable. The rule "No where to buy or looking for vendor type posts" is strict and exists because of spam.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine discussion about nootropics that adds value to the community without selling anything. If you are a founder and you want to link to your own site, you must disclose your affiliation either by getting flair from a moderator or by stating it clearly in your post. The best approach is to share what you learned, ask a real question, or contribute to an existing discussion about nootropics. If your site is relevant, link it only when it directly supports the point you are making, and always say it is your site.
What To Avoid
Do not post advertisements or selling and trading posts, because the rule "No advertisements / Unsolicited Self-promotion" forbids them. Do not link to your own site without disclosing your affiliation, since the rule "Report your affiliations" requires you to get moderator flair or tell people directly. Do not ask where to buy nootropics or look for vendors, because the rule "No where to buy or looking for vendor type posts" removes those posts. Do not recommend dangerous or grey area substances. Do not personally attack another user, because the rule "Be respectful" prohibits it.
