Myth: "Links are always safer in comments than posts"

Myth: "Links are always safer in comments than posts"
This week on Reddit marketing, a half-truth that gets accounts filtered:

— [Rule-change] AutoMod scans comments too; dropping the same URL across many comment threads is a stronger spam signal than one disclosed post, per spam-rule examples on r/AutoModerator.
— [Tactic] Comment links work when they answer a specific question and aren't repeated; pattern-matching the same link is what trips filters, not the comment format itself.
— [Case] A user on r/modhelp got domain-banned sitewide after seeding identical comment links across a dozen threads in an afternoon.

Editor's pick: it's repetition, not placement, that flags you — one genuinely helpful comment link beats ten copy-pasted ones every time.
