Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · External galleries, petition links and server/discord IDs appear in top posts — ask the mods before heavy self-promo or commercial links.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, news, discussion
Short, descriptive titles (often all-caps or bracketed like [Metro] or [M16A3]). Post in first person when sharing screenshots/videos/art; keep the body brief — a one- or two-sentence context or story and the media link. Tone is casual, nostalgic and enthusiastic. Top posts are high-quality screenshots, fan art, memorable clips, or community event notices; avoid blatant ads or spammy calls-to-action without asking mods.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/battlefield3's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
