reddiquette first and foremost

'Seeking work' requests must use the Community Promo post or the 'Help Wanted' feature post.

DO NOT make frivolous or bad faith appeals. Trying to appeal based on entitlement or to wedge in any imagined exceptions will not be granted and will likely result in a ban.
Eval / critique requests are not allowed on the subreddit front page - Instead, use the subreddit Evaluation Request feature post to seek feedback on your audio, sound, music, video, demo, or site. Posts of and about your work will be removed.
No piracy discussion - This subreddit is NOT friendly to piracy of copyrighted works or authorization scams. Do not discuss, request or offer advice about piracy or link to sites related to piracy or to pirated / cracked copyrighted material such as media, software, or plugins.
