What r/Entrepreneur's own rules say
Every line below is the room's own sentence, word for word, including its spelling. We pick the sentences about promotion, links and who may post; we never shorten one.
It is acceptable to cite your sources and provide references to claims, even if this is to your own content/website.
Rule: No Self Promotion However, there should not be an explicit solicitation, advertisement, or clear promotion for the intent of awareness.
Rule: No Self Promotion Posts must NOT be made for the primary purpose of selling or promoting yourself, company or service.

What it actually removes
r/Entrepreneur removed 33 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.
- 33Links or promotion, removed for carrying a link or reading as promotion.
- 7Newer accounts, removed for karma or account age.
- 5Other 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
- Use the Thank You Thursday threads the room's own rules name, and keep to what that thread is for.
- Answer questions instead of announcing. Mention what you sell only when it answers the question, and say it is yours.
- Leave the link out of your first replies. Links are what this room's bot was counted removing.
- Build some history in the room first, from an account that has commented before.
- 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.
