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 · Community heavily favors posts with primary sources/FOIA and original analysis — include documentation and links when possible.
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: news, discussion, data
Headline: factual, descriptive (often names law, report, FOIA batch, or question). Voice: mix of first-person investigative posts and third-person news links. Length: medium to long (detailed posts with excerpts or document links). Tone: sober, evidence-focused, investigative; top posts are primary-source driven (FOIA, docs, analysis) — original research and sourced reporting get upvoted; low-effort, sensational or unsourced claims get little traction or flagged.
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/uap'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.
