Can I promote my product here?
No. The rules ban sale posts and remove anything with nothing at all to do with SML, so marketing posts do not survive here.

Works well
- Sharing your own SML fan art with [OC] in the title
- Sharing fan art you found, with the source linked in the comments
- Posting AI assisted SML art with the AI Generated flair applied
- Starting a discussion about a recent SML video with a spoiler tag on it
- Leaving genuine comments on fan art and episode discussions to become a known member before posting anything
Avoid
- Posting anything about your product, service, or sale, since “No sale posts” gets those removed
- Dropping a link with no fan art or SML context, since “Keep It SML Related” gets it removed
- Posting fan art without linking the source in the comments, since “Credit Fan Art” gets it removed
- Posting your own art without [OC] in the title, which breaks the same rule
- Posting AI art without the AI Generated flair, which earns a 15 day ban
- Discussing the newest episode without a spoiler tag, which gets your post corrected or removed by the mods
What r/supermariologan_ Is For
This is a fan page for the YouTuber SML. People come here to share thoughts on the guy, share fan art, and talk to other fans. So the room is made up of viewers of the SML channel, artists who draw the characters, and fans discussing new episodes. It is a hobby space, not a place for business talk. If your post could exist without SML in it, it does not belong here.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides almost everything here is “Keep It SML Related”, because a post with nothing at all to do with SML gets removed. “No sale posts” matters most for marketers, since any post that sells something is removed. “Credit Fan Art” matters if you share art, because you must link the source in the comments, or put [OC] in the title if you made it yourself. “Use the “AI Generated” flair for AI creations” matters if any AI tool touched your post, because skipping the flair earns a 15 day ban. “Please use spoiler tag for newest SML episode” matters right after a new video drops. “No Spam Topics” matters because certain topics are deleted on sight, and the wiki holds the full list. “Keep Discussions Civil” matters because being toxic gets you banned. “No Impersonation” matters because pretending to be an SML crew member is a permanent ban.
What To Post
Honestly, there is almost no marketing angle here, and that is fine. If you genuinely love SML and want to be part of the community, post your own fan art with [OC] in the title, or share a thought about the channel that fans can talk about. If AI tools helped make your art, use the “AI Generated” flair every single time. If you share someone else's art, link the source in the comments. Before posting anything, check the wiki for the list of spam topics so you do not waste your shot. The best thing a founder can do here is participate like a fan for a while and leave the selling at home.
What To Avoid
Do not post anything about your product, your company, or a sale, because “No sale posts” gets those removed. Do not post anything off topic, because “Keep It SML Related” gets it removed. Do not share fan art without linking the source in the comments, and if the art is yours, put [OC] in the title. Do not post AI creations without the “AI Generated” flair, because that is a 15 day ban. Do not discuss the newest episode without a spoiler tag. Do not touch politics, because “No Politics” gets those posts removed. Do not impersonate SML crew members, because “No Impersonation” is a permanent ban. Do not post NSFW content, because “No NSFW” is also a permanent ban. Do not be toxic, because “Keep Discussions Civil” bans vary. Do not post topics on the spam list, and do not bring mod issues into the open, use modmail.

Common questions about r/supermariologan_
Can I post art that includes my branding?
Only if it is genuinely SML related fan art. You must link the original source in the comments, or put [OC] in the title if you made it yourself, and use the AI Generated flair if AI was involved.
Can I talk about politics or current events?
No. The rules ban political discussions outright.
Can I pretend to be part of the SML team for fun?
No. Impersonating SML crew members gets you permanently banned.
Is AI generated art allowed?
Yes, AI content is allowed, but the AI Generated flair is required and skipping it costs a 15 day ban.
