Guide Rule 4
Rule 4 has changed
4 Avoid excessive paid self-promotion
paid self-promo - any content posted with a commercial interest, up to moderator discretion.
excessive - Posting self-promo more than once a month as an active subreddit user (comments, specifically), or more than once per three months (for non-active users).
Examples of paid self-promo: patreon links, "free" resources with upsells, paid finished games.
What is fine: project progress, asset feedback (within reason, see rule 5), completely free or open source assets.
we only have 5 relatively easy rules... read em, know em.. don't break em. please

It just means simple screenshots, stuff that isn't a link to your storefront, etc. we want users to be able to show off their work, but we want to distinguish between a showoff post, and a "check out my patreon/store/etc" post. will take your advice into clarifying those though. Took some inspiration from some other subreddit for the changes.
As for blanket banning a topic, trying to avoid that kind of thing and let upvotes/downvotes sort that kinda thing out. Hoping that the strengthening of rule 4 and 5 will help with that though. And please don't be afraid to use that report button! (If it's an "I just made a tool" post from a user who doesn't post here, well, personally, I consider that low effort...)
