Rule summary

  • NO bullying: This is a place to safely promote products. It's not a place to air grievances or critiques.
  • Irrelevant content: Again this sub is for posting Products & Services. Content irrelevant to this sub will be moderated and repeat offenses will result in a ban going forward.
  • No sexual harassment: Pretty self explanatory but don't say anything you wouldn't say to your mother.
  • No nsfw images or links: This isn't the place to advertise your OF. Plenty of other subs exist for that and we want to keep this one SFW.
  • No Soap: No Soap.
  • No spam: Posting your product more than once or twice is allowed however at the discretion of the mod team if we feel like you're spamming, you may receive a temporary ban.

Works well

  • Posts that match the community context: Your new place to post and/or find products & services!
  • Specific questions or lessons about marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions, with enough context for useful replies.
  • Share a campaign postmortem with audience, channel, creative, budget, and result context.
  • Ask a narrow marketing question after explaining the market, channel, and constraint.
  • Drafts that satisfy the visible rule "Irrelevant content" before any link, launch, or product mention appears.

Avoid

  • Anything that trips "No nsfw images or links": This isn't the place to advertise your OF. Plenty of other subs exist for that and we want to keep this one SFW.
  • Off-topic posts that do not fit the visible community context or marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions.
  • Low-context posts that fail "Irrelevant content": Again this sub is for posting Products & Services. Content irrelevant to this sub will be moderated and repeat offenses will result in a ban going...
  • Posts that ignore "NO bullying": This is a place to safely promote products. It's not a place to air grievances or critiques.
  • Posts that ignore "No sexual harassment": Pretty self explanatory but don't say anything you wouldn't say to your mother.

What r/PlugYourProduct Is For

Reddit describes r/PlugYourProduct this way: Your new place to post and/or find products & services!

For Rankhog planning, treat it as a place for marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions. Use the source description and the visible rule list before deciding whether a startup post belongs there.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The fetched old Reddit rules include "NO bullying", "Irrelevant content", "No sexual harassment", "No nsfw images or links". The rule to read twice is "No nsfw images or links". It is the clearest source-backed warning against turning the subreddit into a launch, link, or sales channel.

What To Post

A strong post gives the community something to answer, inspect, or learn from before it asks for attention. Bring the audience, stage, constraint, what you tried, and the exact question.

Good fits include:

  • Posts that match the community context: Your new place to post and/or find products & services!
  • Specific questions or lessons about marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions, with enough context for useful replies.
  • Share a campaign postmortem with audience, channel, creative, budget, and result context.

What To Avoid

Do not use r/PlugYourProduct as a cold launch channel. The safest draft should still make sense if the company name, product URL, and call to action are removed.

Watch for:

  • Anything that trips "No nsfw images or links": This isn't the place to advertise your OF. Plenty of other subs exist for that and we want to keep this one SFW.
  • Off-topic posts that do not fit the visible community context or marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions.
  • Low-context posts that fail "Irrelevant content": Again this sub is for posting Products & Services. Content irrelevant to this sub will be moderated and repeat offenses will result in a ban going...
