strict — no promo (1/10) · tone: Direct, fact-focused, and legally rigorous—people ask specific questions and expect cited legal reasoning, not sympathy or anecdotes.

Can you promote in r/legaladvice?

Strict: this community removes promotional content on sight. Contribute value only; pitching here risks removal and a subreddit ban.

r/legaladvice is a high-moderation, legally-focused community that aggressively rejects anecdotes, off-topic comments, and self-promotion; users post real problems (tenant disputes, insurance claims, family theft, labor violations) seeking jurisdiction-specific legal reasoning, not emotional validation. The community rewards concrete fact-patterns and follow-ups showing legal progress; mods enforce strict topicality rules with permanent bans.

• DO include your location/jurisdiction in title or first line [STATE]
• DO state facts clearly and chronologically
• DO ask a specific legal question, not for sympathy
• DO mention if you already consulted a lawyer
• DON'T include anecdotal or off-topic commentary—mods enforce this strictly with permanent bans
• DON'T ask for general life advice or emotional support
• DON'T solicit anecdotes from others ('has this happened to you?')
• DON'T promote services, products, or yourself
• DON'T post updates that lack legal substance
