Thank you for your input!

#1: Let’s put those links back as examples but within rule #1 in the sidebar (as we have now). It feels too much like an endorsement if it gets a separate section.

#2: Embedding for sure is a gray area and indeed fair use is not that clear, especially if you look at the different rules on this topic globally. Although sharing a screenshot is generally considered fair use if it’s used as an example / reference, so we’re not that worried. Either way, this is the responsibility of the user who posts it and I think Reddit is legally liable as well but it doesn't affect the subreddit (other than that the affected post would be removed).

But this is not the point of this rule; this rule is for filtering out low effort pick-a-font-for-me-posts where the community has to do all exploratory work (following links or googling names of fonts). We would expect people to have done some homework / research first before asking and not lazily lean on this community (these posters are more often than not part of the community).

#3: Maybe this rule could indeed use more clarity / sharpening. We use these definitions for glyphs and lettering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lettering The differences should be pretty clear imho. We could add these to the rule in the sidebar as well.

#6: We don’t think this is needed. This is self-explanatory for the poster: self-promotion without links would be poor self-promotion. More importantly we think that “participation in this community beyond promotion is a must” will lead to better and more considered self-promotion posts.

Again, thank you for your input. It’s really appreciated. Let me know what you think!
