What r/podcasting'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.
Promotional posts for products or services are not allowed without pre-approval except in the weekly Product or Service promotional thread.
Rule: Promoting Products or Services Permission to promote a product or service outside the weekly thread is given out on a case-by-case basis by the mods.
Rule: Promoting Products or Services Review exchanges are prohibited - contrary to popular belief, reviews don't help promote your show.
Rule: No Calls For Review Exchanges Do not post links to your podcast as new links.
From its sidebar No promotions for podcasts, products or services without pre-approval by the moderators.

What it actually removes
r/podcasting removed 28 posts from newer accounts 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.
- 28Newer accounts, removed for karma or account age.
- 1Other 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 weekly Product or Service promotional thread the room's own rules name, and keep to what that thread is for.
- Answer questions instead of announcing. When we counted, 4 questions here had no reply at all.
- 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.
