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 · Must include a properly formatted Location line; comments that don’t answer the legal question can get you banned; no donations/paid solicitation allowed.
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: question, story, discussion
Headline: short plain-English summary of the legal problem. Body: first-person, detailed timeline and facts, and a clear single legal question. Always include jurisdiction formatted exactly as “Location: City, State/Country” in the post body. Typical length: long (several paragraphs). Tone: factual, specific, non‑accusatory. Upvoted: clear facts + jurisdiction + concrete legal question. Removed/banned: posts/comments that are purely anecdotal, off‑topic, solicitations, or comments that don’t answer the legal question.
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/legaladvice'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.
