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 · Use bracket tags ([WTS]/[WTT]/[FS]), include price and location, and attach clear photos—most listings expect local details and condition info.
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: showcase, question, discussion
Headline: start with bracket/tag ([WTS]/[WTT]/[FS]/For Sale) + item name. Write in first person, concise (title + 1–3 short paragraphs). Include condition, size/miles, price (or OBO), location, shipping or pickup details, and photos. Tone: informal, transactional; top posts reward clear specs and price. Avoid vague pitches or overt advertising — ask mods before posting commercial/self-promotional services.
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 October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/motoswap'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.
