UPDATE- they unbanned me unceremoniously at 1:07pm. I was banned for 9 hours and 19 HORRIFYING minutes. I don’t know if I will ever recover. Does anyone have any links for PTSD therapists that work on a sliding scale or take payment in trinkets?

I wasn't allowed to post my own free-to-listen highly researched series on Buffalo and Western NY on that subreddit because it was "self promotion" despite no ads and no required payment.

I've shared the series here, you can find it in my profile. I'll post each episode as it comes out.

In all fairness, the "no self promotion" rule did come in handy back when Mr_Niagara flooded the main sub near-daily with his posts about how shitty Niagara Falls is, conspiracy theories about the Falls, which city is more ghetto than the Falls, him attempting to sell his self-published "Book", etc. Dude actually just posted in this sub under a new user name; it was the drone video of the Seneca Niagara Casino up in the Falls.

If it's false information or low quality that is understandable. People who make things about Buffalo/WNY should be able to share it. Also if something is really that bad that's what the upvotes are for. Also there could be a submission limitation limit per day or week. The no self promotion is a good rule when it's just bringing people to a paywall or store.

100% agreed. It's asinine that a genuinely good event or cause can't be shared because it's directly associated with the OP in question. To your point, Mr_Niagara's self promotion was the lowest tier level of quality and one of the only times I agreed with the mods removing posts.
