How to show up here without getting banned
- Don't post about your product. Answer questions in the comments with real expertise instead. People who find your answers useful check your profile, so say what you do there.
- Read the sidebar and pinned posts. Moderators often add rules there, and rules change. Check r/CRM's before your first post.
- Build a history first. Comment helpfully on r/CRM for a few weeks before you post. Accounts that only ever promote get filtered.
- Say you made it. When you mention your own product, disclose it. Hidden promotion is the quickest way to a ban.
