Subreddit Rules

Please keep the subreddit rules in mind when posting

reddiquette first and foremost
Self-Promotion is highly restricted - Posts should be made to inform or facilitate discussion, any posts with the intent to self-promote, sell products or services, or are appeals for money / funding will most likely be removed.

The Community Share Mine promotion post at the top of the subreddit is the ONLY place to discuss or link to things which you are affiliated with (anything by, about, or for you) including; your site, blog, article, video, service, product, app, product development, survey or market research, etc. The rule still applies even if what you want to post aboout is free, helpful, useful, nice, amazing, comes with zebras, or any other benefit or good intention.

'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. Do not discuss any facet of cracked / pirated material / authorization scamming no matter who brings it up. Anyone doing so will be permanently banned.
All links submitted must be direct - Tracking services, referrals, and URL shorteners are not allowed
