benologist, I don't want to argue with you. Thanks for letting me know of the rule, which I wasn't aware of.

I don't meant to argue, just trying to explain the rules aren't as simple as meeting a quota. For instance if you submit 90 links to <random big subreddits> and 10 links to yourwebsite.com in <onespecificsubreddit> that subreddit may consider you to be spamming them. I could no longer work within the 90/10 rule, it is just not appealing to me to use reddit that much right now although in the past I have helped moderate some of the largest subreddits and submitted many things I have created. They have advertising you can use instead, you can target subreddits as well: http://www.reddit.com/advertising http://www.reddit.com/advertising

  So did I understand correctly - you too are not happy with the 9/1 rule?

    I support the rule because it keeps out the spammers. They have given you two official ways to try and reach their community, if that is important to you then be an active user or pay a few bucks.

      When a rule does so much damage, no matter how much good it does - it's wrong to enforce it. No it doesn't keep out the spammers - they are only becoming legitimate (after they pay) and more aggressive in their campaign. I am not a spammer and I take it as an insult to be called one - I don't get paid to post all day long about someone else's product. I am posting my own work - ONCE, EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS, after much work and new content. I am not trying to stick a banner at someone's face for as long as they are on reddit or anywhere else, I am simply posting the news of something, which I guess will be useful to some of reddit's auditory. They can buy a license, indeed, but that's completely up to them - my app has unlimited, fully functional, free evaluation. You talk about a community - a community that not only doesn't invite content creators, but banishes them. This is not the type of community I would want to be a part of. Now, since I wasn't direct-enough the last time I said I don't want to argue with you - I don't care what you have to say next, simply because I am sure you will not convince me in something different than what I already believe.

        I am not and have not called you a spammer. It is up to you to obey their rules or not, the people who circumvent their rules are called spammers by everyone.
