<b>This week on Reddit marketing: getting mods on your side first</b>

The quiet skill nobody teaches — talking to moderators before you post.

— [Tactic] Modmail the team to ask if your post type is allowed; a yes is near-immunity from removal (r/ModSupport)
— [Case] A vendor offered the sub a free AMA and a giveaway, and earned a recurring 'approved partner' flair (r/Entrepreneur)
— [Rule-change] Some subs run an 'approved submitter' list that bypasses link filters entirely (r/modhelp)
— [Tactic] Never argue a removal in public comments — it tanks goodwill; take it to modmail calmly (r/AskModerators)
— [Tool] The mod-log transparency some subs publish, so you can see what gets removed and why (r/modnews)

Editor's pick: the approved-submitter list — the closest thing to a legitimate fast-pass on Reddit, and almost nobody asks for it.
