From its sidebar
What it actually removes
r/blogging removed 5 posts for links or promotion in 7 days, counted from its own moderator bot's public comments over 7 days, read 10 Oct 2026. Through a public mirror, not the Reddit API.
- 5Links or promotion, removed for carrying a link or reading as promotion.
- 2Other removals, removed for a reason the wording did not name.
This counts only what the room announces. A moderator removing something by hand leaves nothing to count, so a low number would prove nothing, which is why we only print this for rooms where it is high.
What to do instead
- Do not post about your product here. A removed post can cost the account, not just the post.
- Answer questions instead of announcing. When we counted, 2 questions here had no reply at all.
- Leave the link out of your first replies. Links are what this room's bot was counted removing.
- Read the live rules page before you post. The rules can change after the copy we quote was taken.

How this page was made
The rules come from the arctic-shift public mirror's copy of the room's rules list, sidebar and posting guidelines. We do not use the Reddit API. The posting answer rests on the room's own words when they say anything about promotion, then on removals we counted, then on our inference, and the line under each answer says which. A rule that was rewritten after the mirror's copy was taken will not show here, which is why the capture date is printed above.
