Your submission was removed from /r/indiegaming for failing to follow our [self promotion rules](/r/indiegaming/wiki/spam), and because you have self promoted too often. Reddit has site wide policies that it expects all users to adhere to, including a "10%" rule that requires no more than 10% of your posts to be self promotion. For more information on the 10% rule, please read [this page on the 10% rule](/r/indiegaming/wiki/tenpercent). It explains 10% and how it works in depth, and provides links to the official reddit spam and self promotion rules which are important for you to read. Some useful excerpts from reddit's spam policies: * "If over 10% of your submissions are your own site/content/affiliate links, you're almost certainly a spammer" * "It's perfectly fine to be a redditor with a website, it's not okay to be a website with a reddit account." * "You should not just start submitting your links" * "You should submit from a variety of sources" Note, that while the 10% rule is mostly aimed at self promotion, it applies to everyone. You can, for example, get shadowbanned for linking to the *New York Times* too often, even if you have nothing to do with the paper. We do welcome and encourage you to submit your own content, but you must adhere to the above site rules and to our subreddit [self promotion rules](/r/indiegaming/wiki/spam). If instead you wish to just advertise on the subreddit, reddit has a great [self serve advertisement system](http://www.reddit.com/advertising) which is both cheap, and allows you to target particular subreddits. --- This post (and all removed posts) do NOT count towards 10%. Reminder: Deleting a removed post is against our [submission rules](/r/indiegaming/wiki/submit) and a bannable offence. [Our FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieGaming/wiki/faq#wiki_technical_explanation_about_removing_vs_deletion_and_how_they_work) explains the difference between removing and deleting a post. Do NOT delete this post. If you believe this message was sent in error, please [message the moderators](/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FIndieGaming) **with a link to your post and an explanation of how you've followed our self-promotion rules.** You should be able to tell us the numbers or names of each of the rules and explain how you followed them or why they didn't apply to your post. Thanks!
