Make sense of promotion rules, link policies and posting requirements.
The examples below explain the workflow and how to read a result. They are illustrative, not a report generated from the input above.
A subreddit rules summarizer reads a community's rules page and wiki. Then it explains in plain language what's allowed and what gets removed. It also says where self-promotion actually belongs. Most removals aren't about some obscure rule. They come from a handful of common mistakes, and the section below walks through them one by one.
Here's what comes back for r/SaaS. The self-promo rule, the link policy, and the karma bar, before you ever hit post.
Can you self-promote on r/SaaS? Yes, but only in the right format. Self-promotion belongs in the weekly self-promo thread, not a standalone post. You also need some history in the community first. A bare link outside that thread gets removed on sight.
Almost every removal falls into one of these five buckets. Check them before you post, not after.
Many subreddits allow self-promo only in one weekly thread, or on a flaired day. A standalone post the rest of the week gets removed. A genuinely useful product doesn't change that.
A link and nothing else reads as spam. Mods and AutoModerator both treat it that way. Wrap it in a real explanation of why it's relevant, or leave it out.
Many subreddits run a repost-detection bot. Post the same link or story within days of someone else and it gets pulled.
A text-only sub will remove a video link. A sub that requires a flair or a title format will remove a post missing one. Check the format rule, not just the topic rule.
A brand-new account with no comment history often gets auto-flagged. That happens even to a rule-following post. Show up and answer a few questions first.
A name or a URL, like r/yoursubreddit. Nothing to set up.
Self-promo policy. Link rules. Karma and age gates. Pinned threads.
What's allowed, what's not, and where self-promo actually belongs.
Whether you can mention your own product, and where.
Bare links vs. links inside a real comment or post.
Minimum karma or account age before you're even allowed to post.
Megathreads and self-promo days. Often the only sanctioned spot for a pitch.
A summary here is a snapshot of one subreddit, today. Rules change, and mods enforce them unevenly, so read the page yourself when the post matters. Bavior re-reads each subreddit's current rules automatically, every time. Then it drafts story-first content that fits. No bare links. No off-day self-promo. No karma-gate surprises.
Record promotion rules, link restrictions, disclosure requirements, allowed formats and any designated threads. Preserve the original wording for exceptions that affect your post. Add the source location and review date. Recheck before publishing, especially where pinned notices change the normal rules.

A summary can omit context and exceptions. This page provides a checklist, not a current moderation decision or permission to publish.
Usually one of five things: self-promo outside the sanctioned thread, a bare link with no context, a recent repost, the wrong post format for that subreddit, or a brand-new account with no history. Check the summary before you post, not after.
No. Use the summary to orient yourself, then check the current sidebar, pinned posts and moderator instructions. Local exceptions and recent changes may matter for your post.
It works on any public subreddit that publishes rules or a wiki — which is nearly all of them.
Bavior takes over — it re-reads the rules before every post it drafts, so your content fits the format without you checking each time.
Spot wording and rule conflicts that could make a draft look like an ad. How can I review a draft before posting?
How to promote on Reddit without getting banned in 2026: read the rules, earn karma first, post story-first, and never touch the votes.
