r/Naruto

Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion is allowed but must be thoughtful, limited, and well-received by the community, adhering to a 9:1 ratio of quality discussion to promotional posts. Additionally, ensure your post has a clear title and the correct link flair.

Before you post: Must follow the 9:1 ratio (9 quality posts for every 1 promotional post). Ensure proper flairing and title formatting.

The rules, in their words

1. Be civil and respectful to your fellow redditors: - Harassment, any kind of hate speech, personal attacks and insults, verbal abuse etc. are strictly forbidden. - Comment trees which devolve into arguments are likely to be entirely removed. - Do not feed the trolls. Report and ignore.
2. Read the FAQ: - Any question answered in the FAQ will be removed. - It covers the Naruto/Boruto manga, anime, light novels, and more.
3. Flair and title your post properly: - Title your post so that someone can tell what it is about before opening it. - No one worded, hashtags, only emojis, or clickbait/misleading titles. - You must add link flair to your post. - The moderators will flair the post themselves after a period of time has passed (~30 minutes) with it being left without a flair. Multiple instances of not flairing posts will be kept track of and result in a violation of the rule + a temporary 7 day ban.
4. Tag Spoilers: - Absolutely no spoilers in titles! - Spoiler tag anything beyond the Boruto anime, such as episode previews, schedules, and the Boruto manga. Spoiler rules do not apply for the Naruto series (as of 2016). - Comments in threads that are already spoiler-marked do not need to be hidden in spoiler tags. - Use common courtesy and spoiler tag major events when referring to spoilers of other series, not necessarily limited to just manga/anime either.
5. Limit low-effort submissions: - Absolutely no memes, image macros or shitposts. Use /r/dankruto. Any low-effort posts which do not even belong in dankruto shouldn't be posted at all. - Limit plain screenshots/gifs/caps of the manga/anime. - Posts should be directly related to Naruto/Boruto. A Naruto/Boruto related title won't make the post relevant if the content itself has nothing to do with the series. A forced connection won't suffice.
6. All Fanart, Fanedits, & Cosplays must be linked directly to the artist's page: - Incorrectly sourced work will be removed. To post, copy-paste the url of the work into the url space that's available when making a link post. - Uploading the work as an image and linking in the comment thread is the incorrect method. - If the art/edit/cosplay is OC, re-hosting on Reddit/Imgur/etc is fine. - Use image searching tools to find the original artist: Saucenao/Google Images. - If posting AI-generated art, specify in the title that it is AI-created, include what service used.
7. Be mindful of our self-promotion policy: - Self-promotion should be thoughtful, limited, and consistently well received by the community. - The 9:1 ratio (ie. every one promotional post should be followed by approximately nine quality discussion threads) should be followed.
8. VS. Battle & Crossover posts: - Simply posting a matchup in the title will not suffice, as not much effort is needed to do so. Give an explanation in the text box or comments; talk about why you chose the matchup, the conditions, who you think will win, etc. - Crossover battle posts with other series are not allowed. Power scaling across different series can be so different and difficult to compare that discussion gets messy. r/whowouldwin would be the better outlet for these posts.
9. Support the creators and rights holders: - /r/Naruto does not endorse any sort of third party that is profiting off of copyright infringement. Avoid linking to illegal third-party sites and encourage other users to search for legal alternatives for finding Naruto and Boruto content. - /r/Naruto is not a platform for selling/buying/promoting unlicensed merchandise and any links or mentions of said material will be removed unless they are being sold under a creative license.
10. No NSFW Content: - This includes obvious fetish posts, sexually suggestive or provocative cosplays, actual nudity or hentai and so on. If you feel your post is a bit tame and doesn't violate this rule, you can post it but flair it as NSFW. Anything explicit however, use /r/cosplaygirls or some other NSFW subreddit.
11. No Reposts: - Do not repost anything from the top 100 all-time or anything posted within the last 3 months. - Anything which has been posted before at least 5 times cannot be reposted - Use the search bar, your search engine, and the FAQ to ensure that you are not reposting recent content or already answered questions. - Boruto episode previews and schedules should be posted once per month, and only if accompanied with a translation. Untranslated schedules/previews will be removed.
12. No Naruto/Boruto video game spam: - Only news, official information and on occasion interesting tidbits related to the video game(s) are allowed. Everything else goes to /r/NarutoNinjaStorm, /r/NarutoShinobiStriker, and other Naruto video game subreddits. - Exceptions can be made for video games without a designated subreddit or posts which wouldn't fit one specific subreddit
13. OC Art/Work in Progress/Sketch: - If the artwork is traced and/or a reference was used, be honest about it. Give credit to the original artist by linking to their work or leave their name in the comments/title. - Quick sketches/WIP's/amateur art should be posted in the Weekly Sketch Saturday threads. [Guide on what's allowed outside the Megathread](https://redd.it/doqayg) - Don't advertise future projects (such as manga) that have yet to be started. Share it when there's something completed.
