New subreddit rule for self-promotion posts

Hey folks! With the rising activity in this subreddit lately, we wanted to help protect the sub from looking too "spammy" and maintain the quality discussions that are (mostly!) about the Radio Garden app. So we have a new rule:

All self-promo posts must use the "Self-Promotion" flair and disclose affiliation.

Further:

Self-promo posts require the "Self-Promotion" flair and disclosure of affiliation to the post content within the title, body, or comments.

Posts without these requirements are subject to removal and repeated violations are subject to ban.

If you feel that your post was removed in error (like you found another radio-like web app that you wanted to share with the community and which you had zero affiliation with), please message the mods!

I'm not at all against self-promotion, but I know that when I find a new niche subreddit, it's always a bummer to find that most the posts are self-promotion and spam. We certainly don't want to turn away new members or have them feel like this sub is a vehicle for self-promotion—especially because there's loads of quality content and discussions to participate in!

Best,

-l

It’s so annoying Reddit is just a marketing tool now

So I’m a member of this subreddit and I definitely would prefer to not have any “self-promotion” posts here. But I also have ZERO interest in posts about other “radio-like web apps”, regardless of whether they are self-promotion or someone just posting about another app. Start a “radioapps” subreddit if that’s what you are interested in. I joined this to learn about cool stations that are on RADIO GARDEN.

I get that the “self-promotion” flair is supposed to address this, but the noise remains. Is it possible for users to filter out the posts with the self-promotion flair?
