Spot wording and rule conflicts that could make a draft look like an ad.
The examples below explain the workflow and how to read a result. They are illustrative, not a report generated from the input above.
A promotion risk score answers one question. How likely is this post to be removed for reading like an ad? It weighs the same signals mods and AutoMod check. How salesy the wording is. How new or low-karma the account looks. Whether the subreddit allows that kind of post at all. It's a warning light, not a promise. A low score lowers your odds. It doesn't remove them.
Three states, one glance. Green reads fine. Orange means check the rules. Red reads like an ad.
Bare links and pitch language read like an ad. Mods and AutoMod both catch it.
Mods filter first posts from thin accounts. Nobody reads the content.
A promo post in a discussion-only sub gets pulled fast. Good writing won't save it.
A missed flair, title format, or self-promo day is an easy AutoMod removal.
The text you're about to post. Or the sub you're posting to.
Self-promo ratio. Account signals. The subreddit's own rules.
Low, medium, or high risk. Plus the reasons behind it.
Reddit has an unwritten rule of thumb. Roughly one promo post for every nine that aren't. It isn't Reddit policy. Plenty of subreddits ignore it. But a lot of mods still use something like it as a mental check. The part people miss is the scope. Mods judge that ratio across your whole account history, not just this one post. So a brand-new account whose only activity is one link already fails it. How well that post is written won't change the answer. And mods are people. One can still pull a low-risk post because a rule changed last week, or because that is the call they make today.
Roughly one promo post for every nine that aren't. An unwritten norm, not Reddit policy.
Mods often read your whole history. One good post won't undo a promo-only pattern.
A few communities remove any commercial link. Ratio and wording don't matter there.
The score reads risk. It doesn't read quality. A post can come back at 8/100 and still be dull. Nothing here judges whether your topic is interesting, whether the title earns a click, or whether the timing is right. Those are the things that decide if a safe post is also a post worth making. The subreddit is the only judge of that.
Read the draft alongside the current community rules. Look for unsupported claims, repeated links, missing commercial disclosures and a reply that talks about your product without answering the question. For each concern, record the passage and the relevant rule, then revise or skip the post. Keep human review separate from any automated suggestion.
No score can predict every moderator decision. This preview does not calculate a risk score or approve a post; the checklist helps you make a better review decision.
Mostly self-promo that reads like an ad. Also new or low-karma accounts dropping links, a bad subreddit fit, or a broken posting rule.
No. A check can highlight visible issues but cannot predict every moderation decision. Re-read the community rules and review your final wording before publishing.
It reads each subreddit's rules before drafting. It writes story-first native posts instead of pitches. And it posts only after you approve.
