Pitching a mod for permission: the modmail script

Pitching a mod for permission: the modmail script
This week on Reddit marketing: how to ask mods for promo permission without getting ignored or banned.
—
[Tactic] Lead with the value, bury the ask — a r/modhelp thread shows mods approve far more requests that offer free value to the sub first.

[Case] A marketer in r/marketing shares a 4-line modmail that got a yes: who they are, what they'd post, why it helps the sub, and a clear opt-out.
—
[Rule-change] Use modmail, never DM individual mods — r/ModSupport notes DMing one mod is treated as evasion of the team.
—
[Tool] The sub's mod list page to confirm the team is active before you write.

Editor's pick: the 4-line modmail from r/marketing. It's the cleanest template for turning a cold ask into approved promo.
