reddit-comment-safety

Use on every brand-adjacent comment before it posts. Produces a pass / fix / skip verdict per comment. Reddit's spam systems and moderators punish patterns, not just individual posts — safety is a per-comment discipline.

The six-point check

1. subreddit rules — complies with that community's stated rules
2. self-promotion — respects the sub's self-promo policy
3. relevance — responds to what the post actually says, not to a keyword
4. authenticity — no spam patterns or robotic signals
5. tone — matches how that community talks
6. safety flags — nothing that trips Reddit's spam filters

Natural-mention mode

Where a community restricts self-promotion: strip or minimize product references, drop external links entirely, and lead with expertise — answer the question fully; the brand earns at most a passing mention. Value first is the only mode that survives in restricted communities.

Two strikes, then skip

A comment that fails the check gets one rewrite against the specific failure. If the rewrite fails again, skip the opportunity entirely. A skipped comment costs nothing; a removed one costs account standing. Never force a third attempt.
