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 · Promotions/giveaways typically require mod approval (the community enforces account-age/karma rules for giveaways); tournament posts are restricted by a rule that only allows posting ~1 hour before events.
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: news, discussion, showcase
Headline-first, short and factual for news (team signings, balance changes). Use first-person for longer opinion posts and discussions; link sources/screenshots. Typical length: one-line headline + brief body (a few paragraphs). Upvoted: timely roster/news, sourced clips, clear analysis; low-effort/uncleared promos risk removal without mod okay.
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/competitiveapex'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.
