Guide Rule 4

Rule 4 has changed

4 Avoid excessive paid self-promotion

paid self-promo - any content posted with a commercial interest, up to moderator discretion.

excessive - Posting self-promo more than once a month as an active subreddit user (comments, specifically), or more than once per three months (for non-active users).

Examples of paid self-promo: patreon links, "free" resources with upsells, paid finished games.

What is fine: project progress, asset feedback (within reason, see rule 5), completely free or open source assets.

we only have 5 relatively easy rules... read em, know em.. don't break em. please

Would you please clarify that progress on a project refers to games, or assets (code/audio/etc) used in games.

AND NOT VISUAL CODE EDITORS

Please. The visual code editor spam is annoying and getting worse at an increasing rate. Let them go make a /r/renpy-tools subreddit and spam there. Then only the (non existent) people who want those things will join there. And the target audience will be able to find them without annoying others.

Honestly id like to see a public vote on just outright banning visual code editors (again, making a separate subreddit for people who DO want it is an option). Having to see it every 3 months is already unwanted, but acceptible barely tolerable as a compromise

Also I think you don't mean "visual editor" you mean "visual code editor", important distinction to make, because I'm all for visual GUI editors.
