What r/Emailmarketing's rules say about promotion

6 of 8 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

1. Stay on topic

   rule 1 of 8

   All discussions must focus on permission-based email marketing. Topics that are not directly relevant to email marketing professionals will be removed. Common off-topic violations include sales outreach questions, vendor selection posts, and requests for basic email tech support.

2. No "cold email"

   rule 2 of 8

   Discussions promoting or seeking advice on unsolicited outreach, including “cold email,” are not allowed.

3. No data brokering

   rule 3 of 8

   Offering, soliciting, or facilitating the exchange of email lists or other personally identifiable information is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban.

4. No financially motivated advice

   rule 5 of 8

   Advice and recommendations must be authentic and free from financial incentives. Content containing referral or affiliate links will be removed, and any user promoting products or services through deceptive means, such as astroturfing or undisclosed affiliations, will be banned.

5. Limit self-promotion

   rule 6 of 8

   The bar for self-promotion is high. To provide genuine value to the community, self-promotion must showcase a novel approach, creative strategy, or otherwise original idea. All affiliations must be clearly disclosed. Users who primarily engage in self-promotion rather than meaningful participation will have their posts removed.

6. Job postings must include pay

   rule 7 of 8

   All job postings and solicitations for paid work must include clear details on compensation. To promote fair wages, the minimum acceptable pay is $20/hour USD, even for commission-based roles.
