Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion and advertising are strictly banned. Any attempts to advertise yourself or your products will result in a permanent ban. This is not a place to share your own creations or promote your projects.

Before you post: Rule 6 states 'No Self-Advertising: We do not allow self-advertising unless requested prior to posting and approved by the mods. Any post breaking this rule will result in a permanent ban.'

The rules, in their words

1. Follow the reddiquette and remain civil: Remain civil and follow the etiquette for interactions within our platform [found here](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette)
2. No Name Brands: Name brand products are not allowed. A poorly designed name brand is not an off-brand, it's a crappy design. A person who looks like a more-famous person is not an off-brand, it's a Walmart Celebrity. Fanworks are not off-brands. A successful brand that was introduced a couple of years after a failed brand is not an off-brand (special mention here: Oreo is not an off-brand). If the original is somewhat obscure, please make sure your post title indicates what your post is an off-brand of.
3. No Parodies or Intentional Off-Brands: Intentional off-brands or parodies are not allowed and will be removed. This includes obvious references, even if not satirical. Frequently-posted examples include Obvious Plant, Truewagner, Brad McGinty (Stars Warsiors and the yellow-label RobertCop), Hangrees, Prongles, That Lion Thing, Bulba Fett, Michaelsoft Binbows, Kurger Bing, and Bad Banana.
4. Reposts: Reposts will be removed. Please check the first page or two of New and the Top 100 posts before posting. A repost refers to the subject of an image, not the image itself: a new picture of a subject that's already been posted is still a repost. Leniency may be applied in certain situations at the moderators' discretion, depending on time since the last repost. If you report a repost, please link to the previous post unless it's obvious (e.g., still on the first page or part of the Top 100).
5. No spam: We do not allow the sharing of store links due to several security concerns. Refrain from providing store links or you may be subject to a ban.
6. No Self-Advertising: We do not allow self-advertising unless requested prior to posting and approved by the mods. Any post breaking this rule will result in a permanent ban.
7. No Overused Reposts: If the moderation team sees one particular subject being posted over and over, they will be added to this list. In the past, such subjects included Merge Plants vs. Zombies (and other "merge" games); Spider Rope Hero and Rope Frog Ninja Hero; Sponge Bob Granny; any Among Us or Fall Guys off-brands. Those topics are fine *for now*, but don't go overboard, or they'll be re-banned.
