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 · Subreddit appears archived/low-activity with posts auto-archived after 6 months — contact moderators before any self-promotion.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: discussion, data, news
Headline: concise research topic or question. Write in a neutral/third-person, evidence-first voice. Typical length: medium to long (detailed summaries, links to papers, methods). Tone: clinical and citation-heavy. Upvoted: clear data, systematic reviews, reproducible methods, novel insights. Removed/downvoted: personal medical advice, anecdotal rants, or overt product pitches — ask mods before promoting anything.
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 July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/epilepsyresearch'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.
