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.
- Flair your post. The rules ask for it: “Please flair your post in the correct topic to make searching for posts easier.”
- Skip the surveys. They're not allowed: “DO NOT post any job requests soliciting or recruiting, free work exchanges or survey requests for new projects or college work.”
- Read the sidebar and pinned posts. Moderators often add rules there, and rules change. Check r/UI_Design's before your first post.
