> Some subreddits apparently ban you for linking to personal websites on them. The "no self-promotion" policy originally came from Reddit. Reddit assuaged the wording in 2013 [1] but it's still used by the most popular subreddits as justification to remove whatever they [don't] want. For example, a pretty cool r/Minecraft Starry Night build [2] was #2 on Reddit when it was removed, perhaps due to Rule #11: Self-promotion must be kept to a minimum. To my knowledge, no explanation for that removal was ever provided. I discovered this the hard way while building Reveddit. I mention it in the FAQ under Why haven't I heard about this?
