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 · Video posts are banned; do NOT link to external selling sites (eBay, Amazon, NintendoAge); mods reserve right to remove and may ban on first offense.
Links
Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, story, discussion
Headline: short, punchy (e.g., “Garage Sale Haul!!!”, “Rate my collection”); write in first person, casual and excited. Post length: short caption + clear photos/albums. Tone: friendly, celebratory, hobby-focused. What gets upvoted: high-quality pics of finds/collections, interesting backstories. What gets removed: sales/affiliate links, low-effort posts, videos, overt self-promotion.
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/gamecollecting'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.
