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 · The sub uses professional flair/verification—be prepared to verify credentials for expert claims, and posts asking to ID remains or how to commit crimes will be removed.
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, showcase
Headline: short, descriptive question or case-summary. Use first person for questions/requests and concise third-person for case writeups. Typical length: short posts with a few paragraphs (200–800 words); include photos/data when relevant. Tone: professional, technical, evidence-focused. Upvoted: practical career advice, method questions, case studies, job/webinar announcements, clear images. Removed: speculation, identifying remains, legal advice, instructions to commit crimes.
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/forensics'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.
