Community Rules

  1. Professional discussion

    This community is for social media professionals to discuss strategies and industry-related topics.

  2. Be civil

    We don't have to all agree with each other but we should engage in civil discussion. We all want to learn. Don't personally attack anyone.

  3. Don't be lazy

    When posting for help, sharing ideas, or asking questions, provide comprehensive details and context to ensure your post is clear and meaningful to other readers.

  4. Enhance link shares with commentary

    While linking to external articles is valuable, please include your own commentary, context, or analysis to foster meaningful discussion within our community.

  5. This is not a help desk

    This is not a help desk! We cannot get you verified. We don’t know why your channel was removed. No, we cannot directly connect you to someone at Facebook. Please reach out to platforms directly to so

  6. Self-Promotion

    While we appreciate your passion, please refrain from unsolicited self-promotion or driving traffic to personal channels.

  7. Spam/advertising or click bait

    Spam = ban. This is your first and final warning.

  8. No buying or selling accounts, likes, engagements etc.

    Don't do it. We have a zero-tolerance policy.

  9. No posting petitions or surveys

    Everyone wants data or signatures, but are social media professionals really the people that you are targeting? If you think you are an exception to the rule, please shoot our mod team a DM with furth

  10. No job postings

    We know you want a piece of all the talent on this sub but don't post your job openings outside of dedicated stickies.

  11. No memes, screenshots or comics

    Your memes are not welcome here even if they are funny.

  12. All posts need a flair

    When adding a new post, you need to flair said post before submitting it.
