Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion is allowed if you maintain a 5:1 ratio of comments to self-promotion posts. Otherwise, you can promote content once every two months, provided your account isn't primarily for self-promotion. Advertising, selling, trading, or begging are banned.

Before you post: Must maintain 5:1 ratio of comments to self-promotion posts, or post only once every two months if account isn't primarily for self-promotion.

The rules, in their words

1. Show basic courtesy and respect: No rude or uncivil comments/posts are allowed. There is absolutely no reason to be disrespectful to other users or developers, even if you feel they deserve it. *Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:* * Insults * Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism (including slurs) * Being hostile/condescending * Witchhunting (negative posts about a player that shows their gamertag) * Platform/input-shaming
2. Quality guidelines: Posts must be unique or newsworthy, with the goal of having civil discussions. Certain types of posts or comments may be removed to ensure that. *Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:* * Reposts, trends, or repetitive posts * Rants, unconstructive complaints, or doomposts * Trolling or antagonizing different opinions * Titles that are clickbait/misleading, vague, editorializing, or exaggerating * Off-topic or low-effort submissions
3. Banned submission types: To raise the standard of the subreddit, certain submission types are not allowed and will be removed. * Polls or surveys * Tier lists * Nostalgia bait (old vids, menus, etc.) * Call-to-action or petition posts * Scoreboard or achievement images without a sufficient post body * Non-rare merch pics * Content created with A.I. * Banned sources
4. Image macros, memes, reaction images, etc.: Memes are only allowed to be posted on Meme Saturday (all day Saturday, Eastern Time Zone). This includes images with text overlayed or any other meme-based content. Original video memes may be allowed at moderator discretion. **Not all Saturdays are Meme Saturdays and we reserve the right to postpone it when needed. Please ensure the Meme Saturday thread is stickied before posting.**
5. Spoilers: New official lore and datamined/leaked game content are spoilers. Datamined/leaked lore isn't allowed. Lore may be freely discussed three months past release. Spoilers can only be discussed: * In mod-created threads * In threads with a vague title and Rumor/Leak/Datamine flair; [detailed outline on acceptable titles](https://reddit.com/r/halo/wiki/spoilers) * In comments with `>!spoiler tags!<`
6. Halo Plz: Items which are on Halo Plz are considered 'retired' and new posts about the subject will be removed, unless there is news relating to the 'retired' item.
7. Giveaways, soliciting, trading, etc.: Giveaways are allowed if they take place exclusively on Reddit and nothing is being received in return for the giveaway (e.g. a follow, subscription, or payment). If the giveaway is for something larger than a code, please message the mods beforehand. Threads or comments that are advertising, selling, trying to buy, trading, or begging for something are not allowed and will be removed.
8. Self-promotion/user content: You may promote your channel if you have a 5:1 ratio of r/Halo comments (on other users' threads) to self-promoting posts. If you do not meet the ratio, you can promote your content once every two months as long as your account is not primarily dedicated to self-promotion. If you are submitting others' content, you must give credit in the title and a source in the comments. If you see a post without credit, please message modmail or report the post **with a source**.
9. Keep it Halo: The content of all posts must be directly related to Halo. We do not allow content that is partially related to Halo only by name, reference, or the post's title. *Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:* * A Halo number (e.g. 117, 343) on something * An object that looks similar to or has the same name as something from Halo * Comment sections quoting or referencing Halo * Issues with other Halo communities * Non-canon "who would win" posts * Politics
10. No "looking for players/groups" threads: **Please use the "Looking for Group" channels in the [r/Halo Discord](https://discord.gg/rhalo).** This applies to all Achievement runs, play nights, Spartan Companies, team recruitment or any other search for other people to play with. *Well-organized community game nights or tournaments are allowed with prior moderator approval.*
11. Other detrimental content: Our listed rules aren't comprehensive. The /r/Halo mod team reserves the right to remove content or ban users as necessary if it is deemed detrimental to the subreddit or to the experience of others. This also includes NSFW content, cheats, and piracy in any form. *Any content that lowers the /r/Halo user experience can and will be removed. Ignorance of the rules or disagreeing with them does not excuse breaking them, nor does responding to someone that breaks them by doing so yourself.*
