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 · Moderated by GovWin/Deltek staff — spammy AI/app pitches are actively policed, DM mods if unsure.
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: discussion, showcase, news
Headline: specific and utilitarian (e.g., 'CMMC update', 'I built a SAM.gov tracker', 'Go/No-Go framework'). Post in first person for case studies/questions; 200–800 words typical. Tone: professional, practical, slightly informal. Upvotes reward actionable news, templates, frameworks, real past-performance stories and honest questions; obvious AI/app sales pitches get called out or removed.
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/govcon'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.
