Check the posting rules and self-promotion policy for any subreddit before you post. Avoid bans by understanding karma minimums, account age requirements, and content restrictions.
Without the 'r/' prefix is fine. Both 'r/SaaS' and 'SaaS' work. The tool fetches data live from Reddit's official API.
At the top, we surface common posting restrictions detected from the rule text: self-promo policy, karma minimums, account-age requirements, link policy, and required flair.
Each numbered rule comes straight from the moderators. Read carefully — signals are best-effort heuristics, but the actual rules are the source of truth.
Reddit's site-wide policies (collapsed at the bottom) apply everywhere on top of any subreddit-specific rules. Ignoring them can result in account-level action, not just a sub-level removal.
Reddit isn't a single platform — it's thousands of small communities, each with its own rules, norms, and moderation style. Posting in the wrong place, in the wrong way, or at the wrong time can get you removed, banned, or shadowbanned without warning.
Most subreddit bans aren't appealable. Moderators are volunteers, decisions are at their discretion, and reversals are rare. One rule violation can lock you out of an audience for years.
Many subreddits run AutoModerator scripts that auto-remove posts failing filters (low karma, new accounts, banned domains, missing flair). You see your post on your profile, but no one else does.
High-value subreddits (r/SaaS, r/Entrepreneur, r/marketing, most large communities) require some baseline karma or account age before letting you post. Posting too early just wastes your best content.
Some subreddits ban all self-promotion outright. Others have dedicated weekly threads (often Self-Promotion Saturday). Most expect you to follow Reddit's 9:1 / 10% rule. There is no universal standard.
We scan the rule text and the public subreddit description for common patterns — phrases like 'no self-promotion', 'X karma required', 'X days old', 'no external links', 'must have flair'. It's pattern matching against community-rule conventions, not perfect interpretation, so it's a starting point rather than the final word.
They flag the most common types of restrictions, but they can miss nuance — for example, a rule that's lenient most of the time but strict during a specific event. Always read the full rule text shown below the signals, and when in doubt, check the subreddit's wiki or message a moderator.
It's Reddit's site-wide guideline on self-promotion: at most 1 in 10 of your posts and comments should be self-promotional, with the other 9 being genuine engagement (helping others, contributing to discussions, sharing other people's content). Many subreddits enforce this strictly, even when their own rules don't say so.
They might rely entirely on Reddit's site-wide rules and moderator discretion. Smaller subs often have informal community norms that aren't written down. The absence of rules isn't a green light — it usually means moderators have wide latitude to remove anything they consider off-topic or low-effort.
No. Moderators have wide discretion and can remove posts they consider off-topic, low-effort, or against the spirit of the community — even if no specific rule was broken. Reading the rules dramatically reduces the risk of removal, but it doesn't eliminate it.
AutoModerator configurations are private to moderators. Some restrictions (like a hidden karma threshold or a list of banned domains) won't appear in the public rules at all — but our signal detection covers the most commonly mentioned ones, so it surfaces the majority of practical concerns for posters.
On desktop, click the subreddit name to open its sidebar — rules appear under 'Rules' or 'Community Rules'. On mobile, tap the 'About' tab. Our tool fetches the same data via Reddit's API so you don't have to switch contexts when checking multiple subreddits.
ReplyMine tracks your chosen subreddits and surfaces the high-intent posts where your product fits the conversation — so you reply where it matters, not where it gets removed.

Discussions and useful links for SaaS owners, online business owners, and more.
Self-promotion appears to be restricted or banned. Read rules carefully before posting.
Follow the Reddit site-wide rules and please treat others with respect, stay on-topic, and avoid non-productive self-promotion.
Please keep the discussions oriented around the SaaS ecosystem, tech companies, business, operational or even personal aspects of the tech business world. - __Strict Focus:__ Content must touch on SaaS-specific topics. - __No Generic Business:__ General entrepreneurship or broad news without a SaaS angle will be removed. - __Enforcement:__ Irrelevant content will be removed to keep the sub relevant for SaaS professionals. - __Violation:__ Repeated infringement warrants a ban

All research-related posts must be vetted by moderators before being posted. - __What's Included:__ Academic surveys, market research, vendor polls, and "product validation" forms - __How to apply:__ Message the mods via Modmail with a link to your survey and a brief explanation of why it’s valuable to the SaaS community - __Excluded:__ "Validation" posts that are meant for lead generation or email harvesting will be rejected - __Enforcement:__ Polls without "Mod Approved" flair will be removed.
All links must point directly to the final resource because indirect URLs are prone to breaking or being hijacked later. Transparency and security are mandatory. - __Disguised or obfuscated links:__ Lead to a direct ban for rule evasion - __Direct Links Only:__ Use the original, full URL. Do not use URL shorteners or landing page aggregators - __No Tracking/Affiliates:__ Clean links only - __Enforcement:__ Posts or comments containing shortened or indirect links will be automatically removed

Whether your tone is formal, professional, informal or sarcastic, it’s welcome as long as it’s respectful. - __No Toxicity:__ Personal attacks, insults, harassment, or "flame wars" are strictly prohibited. - __Constructive Criticism:__ Feedback on SaaS projects should be helpful, not destructive. - __Hate Speech:__ Any form of discrimination results in an immediate permanent ban. - __Enforcement:__ Toxic behavior will lead to removal and bans.
Posts or comments offering free reviews, audits, roasts, or feedback on others' products/websites/pitches are prohibited, regardless of price or stated intent. - __No self-promotion:__ These posts function as personal branding for entrepreneurs, consultants, agencies and freelancers and we want to prevent the sub from becoming a feed of "free" offers that are effectively ads. - __How to Help:__ We value help in context. If you want to share with the community, do so in existing comment threads.
r/SaaS does not allow promotion, recommendation, launch announcements, feedback requests, recruiting, or user acquisition for SaaS products made for advertising, promotional outreach, lead/opportunity detection, or ad/content generation. - __What's Included:__ Tools that generate, suggest, schedule, automate, or coordinate promotional posts, comments, DMs, replies, or campaigns on Reddit or other platforms. - __Penalty:__ Violation may result in a permanent ban, tool name and URL blacklisting.
