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 · A promotional post appeared in top posts — if you plan to promote, get moderator approval or expect scrutiny.

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: question, discussion, data

Short, direct headlines that state the problem or question (often 'Question of the Day' or role-specific: RBT/BCBA). Write in first person for experience posts, neutral/clinical for technical posts. Typical length: brief title + 2–6 paragraph excerpt. Tone: professional, practical, evidence-minded; posts that share concrete data, clinical examples, or useful resources are upvoted. Avoid blatant ads unless explicitly approved by 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/behavioranalysis'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.
