/r/cars Self Promotion

Happy Friday, gearheads!With Reddit's recent shift in stance on how spam is being handled it's now up to individual subreddits to manage their own self promotion guidelines.We're still carrying forward the original site-wide self promotion guidelines and have a description/FAQ page here in the wiki.This is how we boiled it down:No more than 10-20% of what you post should be promoting your site, brand, Youtube channel, what-have-you across Reddit. Shotgunning your links across every automotive sub you can find is a really bad idea.It doesn't matter whether you're explicitly selling something or have ads. If you post about it enough, you're promoting it. If you do it too much, you're spamming it.If you don't engage in discussion with other users you're more likely to be flagged to the mod team as a spammer.We do one warning and the next incident is a permanent ban. Previously we did two warnings and temp bans, but no one has ever stopped after the second warning so it was a waste of effort. :/Users won't see any change in enforcement of anti-spam measures here (since our process is the same as before) but we wanted to post publicly and get it into the sidebar officially since the admins have changed how they handle self-promotion spamming. via /r/cars http://ift.tt/2soWExC
