1. No vendor spam

   rule 4 of 9

   Although we won't mind you promoting projects you're part of, if this is your sole purpose in this reddit we don't want any of it. Consider buying advertisements if you want to promote your project or products.

2. Low-Effort / Low-Quality Content

   rule 5 of 9

   Posts that are low-effort, spammy, repetitive, or add little value to discussion are not allowed. For example (but is not limited to) AI content, prompt dumps, and stealth marketing. All content must be original thought, show context, or have meaningful contribution.

   Removal reason shown to posters: Generic, low-effort, or mass-generated content (including AI) with no original insight.

   Survey, poll, and research-related posts require moderator approval. This includes market surveys, vendor poll requests, academic surveys, product validation requests, etc. Surveys without prior approval will be removed.
