r/Strong_8K rules, stats, and what to post

This community exists to help and discuss Strong 8K services and their panels. The people here are users of the service, and the rules say the group is for nothing other than support and conversation about Strong 8K. So think troubleshooting, setup questions, panel questions, and general conversation between people who already use or are curious about the service. It is not a marketplace, not a place to compare sellers, and not a place to promote anything. If your product touches this space at all, understand that the moderators have written the rules specifically to keep commercial activity out.

Every rule here decides whether a marketing-adjacent post survives, so read all of them before typing anything. “No mention of IPTV. Use the term OTT” controls your vocabulary, because the word IPTV alone can get a post removed. “NO posting or requesting of URLs” bans every link, and the rule says posting any URL results in an immediate ban. “No Selling or Solicitation” bans seeking to buy, selling, reselling, and even a friendly DM me, I can help. “No Posting Seller Names” bans seller names and initials, because those posts spiral into flame threads. “No Posts for Sites selling Services” sends site issues to each site's own reddit. “Immediate Ban” is the catch-all that restates the stakes and adds that asking what service you have, what a good backup is, or who can help with a ghosting reseller all lead to solicitation and bans. “Posts in English Only” means any post in another language gets removed and may lead to a ban. “No App Promotion” bans promoting apps or scrapers you made, including asking people to test them, because there is no way to confirm an app is not stealing credentials.

Honestly, there is almost no room for marketing here, and that is the point. A good post from a founder looks like a normal user post: a genuine question about how something works, a helpful answer to someone else's problem, or a plain observation about the service, all written in English and using the term OTT instead of IPTV. If you have real experience with the service, share it without naming any seller, without any link, and without any hint of a sale. If someone asks a question you can answer from knowledge, answer it in the thread and stop there. Do not offer to continue in messages, because that counts as solicitation. The safest posture is to participate as a helpful member of the conversation and let your reputation build slowly, or to simply read and learn what users in this space actually struggle with.

The fastest ways to get removed or banned are all spelled out in the rules. Never mention IPTV, use OTT instead. Never post a URL of any kind, because the rule says posting any URL results in an immediate ban. Never sell, resell, ask to buy, or offer help through messages, because even a DM me, I can help is an instant ban under “No Selling or Solicitation”. Never name a seller or use their initials. Never post about a website that sells services, since those belong on each site's own reddit. Never ask what service you have, what a good backup is, or who can help when a reseller goes quiet, because “Immediate Ban” calls those out directly. Never promote an app or scraper you built, even by asking people to test it, because the rules warn apps could be stealing credentials. And write in English only, since posts in other languages are removed and may lead to a ban.

This is one of the strictest rule sets I have read on Rankhog, and the thing that stands out is how the moderators connect one posted URL to a possible ban of the whole community. That tells you the people here feel they are protecting something fragile, so the only respectful move is to show up as a plain user with a plain question. I also find it telling that the rules spell out the exact ban-worthy questions, like asking for a backup service, because it means the room has been worn down by those posts before. If your product touches this space, read this guide as a lesson in restraint more than a marketing playbook.
