r/delisted

The recent thread had a lot of mixed responses, with no clear winner. Based on your responses, here's Rule #7.

Rule #7 - Self-promotion is allowed conditionally

Creators can post about their own games once per title, provided that game has at least 10 reviews on Steam, GOG, XBLA, PSN, etc., and was released at least 2 years ago.

Here's my reasoning

The main problem was never self-promotion, it was the idea -- nay, looming threat -- of unscrupulous developers creating "slop" games no one actually wants, and then coming here to drive sales via artificial FOMO.

Hopefully this rule will address that problem. If anyone ties to whip up 20 titles an announce them one by one, we'll add a limit on titles per publisher, something like that. For now, I'm trying to keep it simple.

tl;dr Self-promotion is allowed (indie creators rejoice!) within reason (awww).

P.S. I can't believe I have to say this, but r/delisted follows standard rules of reddiquette. If you do not engage with a community other than to repeatedly self-promote, that's bad! Don't do that!

Hey folks! After a user repeatedly spammed their own game, there were some calls to ban self-promotion.

I just wanted to get everyone's opinion first.

Which of these do you like the best?

1. Zero tolerance on self-promotion (none allowed)

2. "10% Rule" (Nine out of ten posts/comments have to be helpful and non-self-promotional, i.e.part of the community)

3. Self-promotion is allowed (but no spamming/repeated links)

Let me know which you like the best, or if you have any other thoughts about how to keep it tidy.
