r/TrueCrimePodcasts

Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion is strictly limited to a monthly promotion thread. Individual posts recommending your own podcast are not allowed, especially for new or low-karma users. All other promotional content such as merchandise or data collection is also banned.

Before you post: Promotion is only allowed on the Monthly Promotion post. New and/or low karma users have reduced privileges and are generally not allowed to create posts.

The rules, in their words

1. Behave.: [Reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette) and [reddit's content policies](https://www.reddit.com/help/contentpolicy) always apply. No abuse will be tolerated towards other users or victims of crimes. No glorification of violence or death. No public spats. If you disagree with moderation decisions, please ONLY contact moderators via [modmail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=r/truecrimepodcasts).
2. Stay on Topic.: All posts should be related to true crime podcasts. Exceptions of this rule will only be allowed when there's a sticky post related to a topic adjacent to True crime podcasts, like a case in particular or relevant breaking news. If you want help creating a podcast r/podcasting is better suited for that. Youtube channels are not generally acceptable. This is also not the right place to ask for help investigating a case. Under no circumstances will "true crime fan fiction" be accepted.
3. Search the subreddit before posting.: If you're looking for "a podcast similar to 'X' podcast" this has likely been asked before. Please search the sub for existing posts asking for similar content.
4. No Low effort/Low quality posts.: Make an effort to explain yourself clearly. One-sentence posts with no intent to give a clear explanation or provide context to what it's trying to be discussed will be removed. Please don't use acronyms to refer to a podcast.
5. Recommending a Podcast.: Unique posts recommending a podcast are allowed if the review is specific, clear and provides thoughtful information. Using our pinned General Discussion post is preferred. Unique posts with recommendations from new or low karma accounts will not be accepted, as a way to avoid covert promotion.
6. New and/or Low Karma Users have reduced privileges.: We use Reddit's Crowd Control feature, account age, total Reddit karma, and/or TrueCrimePodcasts specific karma total to reduce privileges here. New users are generally not allowed to create posts. New users are not allowed to post or comment recommendations (partially, because of the proliferation of disingenuous creator activity). There may be other limitations based on context.
7. Promotion is only allowed on the Monthly promotion post.: Promoting podcasts, blogs, or other endeavors related to True Crime podcasts is allowed only in the Monthly Promotion thread posted every month. Not allowed for promotion: any form of spam. No merchandising for sale or other products or services. No petitions, fundraisers, surveys, research studies, polls, or any other way to collect data from users. Read more details on our [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimePodcasts/wiki/index/).
8. No Doxing.: No personally identifying information should ever be posted. This includes social media accounts of private individuals. Asking for personal information, pictures, etc. of any individual is also forbidden.
9. No Spam.: No youtube spam, no merch or other products. Manual crossposting through several subs will be considered spam too. No polls, surveys or soliciting users any kind of information to collect data. If you continuously recommend your podcast in comments without engaging with the community in any other way, you'll be considered a spammer and this might get you banned.
