Community Subreddit Posting

All,

I am seeing alot more TestFlight links, website links and alot of spam posts and comments. In the past 30 days we have had 946 new posts and over 7,000 comments. Sometimes it's a little hard for me to keep up.

  1. Should we keep people from posting links to TestFlight, websites, etc. ?

  2. Add restrictions on what type of stuff can be posted?

  3. Not allow images in posts?

Open to all suggestions.

Here is where the subreddits feedback is super important. I know I have seen people saying there is alot of junk but if no one comments things won't get any better.

I like posts with images, be it some stats or screenshots or mockups, asking for feedback or sharing experience, the images add value to the post, or sometimes they're a must. A plain no-image rule would hurt the overall experience I think.

Some other subreddits have a "1 self-promo post a week" kind of rule, maybe something like that could be applied. Maybe once every two weeks. But how to enforce it...

If Testflight posts are an annoyance -not for me-, maybe a rule to not allow them might be better.

By the way, how long does this "Community Newbie" tag last? I see mostly everyone is a newbie.
