Reminder about #self-promo topics

Hi Ribblrs! :wave:
We’ve noticed an increase in self-promo topics and flagged posts recently, so we’re introducing a few adjustments to help keep things running smoothly.


Quick Reminder of Our Community Guidelines

You’re welcome to share up to one self-promo topic per week, which can include (but isn’t limited to) announcements like pattern releases, shop discounts, or giveaways. Feel free to update that single topic (including its title) as many times as you like.

Additionally, please remember that self-promo posts linking to or asking users to click through to external websites aren’t allowed.

This rule exists for two important reasons:

  1. To keep our community a meaningful space for genuine conversations—not just promotions.
  2. To ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to showcase their work and shine on Ribblr.

While honest mistakes are totally fine, repeated violations will be treated as abuse.


New Adjustments

Starting today, when you share a topic with self-promo, we’ll show you a reminder to check if you’ve already posted one this week.

You can easily check this by heading to your profile and clicking on your topics. It is your responsibility to check that. Your account may be affected if you fail to check and comply with the above.

We’re also exploring other options to make these reminders even more helpful.


We Need Your Help!

We kindly ask for your continued support in keeping our lovely community tidy and thriving. Please follow our Community Guidelines, gently remind others of them when needed, or flag posts that may require attention.

@regulars: As members who’ve earned higher community levels through active participation, you play a vital role in keeping our community informed and welcoming. Your help in educating others about what is and isn’t allowed is greatly appreciated.


Thank you :pray:

Your contributions make Ribblr the inspiring and supportive space it is!

Is there any way you could add the tags for us? Like, if I am sharing a pattern from my shop, add a self promo tag. Or, if I want a pattern suggestion, or a yarn use suggestion, or I’m bored tag. I might not remember the self promo tag so thanks to those that add it for me.

Thank you! This will really help me out since I often Cant find my old topics (since they get buried in notifications from my tester calls :sob:) I know I have been guilty of posting way to many self promo topics in the course of a week so this will definitely help me out! (I’m sorry about the last self promo topic I posted a day after the other because I was trying to put it in the same post but apparently it didn’t work the way I thought! :sweat_smile::joy:)

I know in excel there are formulas that you can do. So “if” and “then”. “If” the link posted is the same as the shop owner “then” tag it with “self promo”.
