This includes excessive posting of the same content or irrelevant advertisements, or any form of disruptive self-promotion. Respect the community by contributing meaningful, valuable content that aligns with our mission.
If you have a business or service, please note that the appropriate channel for promotion is currently being developed and will be announced by Animaat in the near future. Once these channels are introduced, transparency in all promotional content will be crucial.
