Can I as a Vendor Advertise Here ??

I want to make a post offering my products, I know theres Sunday and Wednesday for that, but I read this on the sites rules:

Vendors are limited to advertisements in specified threads

To make the subreddit less cluttered and advertisement-oriented, Wednesday and Sunday threads will be posted by Automoderator, for vendors to advertise on. The total time the threads will be live is posted on the sidebar /u/AutoModerator chart. Anything more frequent should be posted in /r/DarkNetDeals, one per 48 hours.

And to my understanding it says that its ok to post every 48 hours, is that correct ?? or is that what I want to understand ??

There has been changes more recently; last I remember you could advertise by post like this, once a week or month, somewhere along those lines.

Well, I'm not a mod, but you probably needn't worry about it. here you can see a post from another new vendor, 40 minutes before yours. If you're offering any holiday specials, there's a recent post for vendors presenting a nice plug opportunity here. Do what's right in your heart. I can't see how it'd be a problem unless you're making multiple/duplicate posts. Cheers!

Only in the Sunday or Wednesday threads. You can post in the darknet deals sub once every 48 hours (it's a separate subreddit).

You can post giveaways here, just message the mods first.

In the stickied threads you should also post in the correct category, e.g. CANNABIS.

Edit: I know it is kind of confusing, the last time we changed the rules regarding vendor ads was around two months ago. We don't want this sub to be used by vendors as an advertising platform and just seen as a way to make money.

However, we want to help new vendors get started and encourage good vendors, which is why we allow contests and giveaways as their own post. Meaningful discussions will always come first. We also don't want to do anything that would get this sub shut down.

If anyone has suggestions for how we can improve the current system, the mods are always open to hearing them.

I'm a mod so I can help clarify.

First I apologize as we have had rule changed but not done all the work needed to correct everything in far and wiki. We are working. On it.

All ads are to be placed in the tub day and Wednesday threads. They have to be descriptive and they must contain a link to a .onion

We don't allow vendors to start threads wit one exception - if they are giving away free product. Not buy one get one free or the like, but new vendors often offer samples for reviews. You have to message the mod team for permission first just so we all know what's up.

There is a dying sub called /darknetdeals where we used to allow add every 72 hours. We tried complaining them to a thread here, but that was when we had 8000 members and now we have 35k. The sub still exists but really nobody uses it anymore.

Ads and sourcing are tricky with reedit tos. So we have to make sure they all stay in those two threads so we can monitor then closely.

Of course vendors post ads without reading the rules, and people post sourcing questions, and we don't catch them quickly. But they are forbidden. We remove them when we see them but there are only so many mods and we are volunteers. Please report ads and sourcing questions when you see them as we will catch them sooner. It's a huge help.

The new system is now about a month old and seems to be working really well. Vendors used to only be allowed one ad a month, so two a week is great. It's picking up steam and the only complaints we have gotten are from people wanting to post sourcing posts because they NEED to know who has domestic whatever by tomorrow.

The Sunday and Wednesday ads have categories and you may post in any that you have product in. So if you sell meth and H, you can post in stone and opiates both.

We also encourage discussion of vendors in these threads, since they are also where ALL sourcing questions go. But if you had a stellar experience with a vendor - please feel free to plug the vendor even if nobody asks. Those threads are intended to be the place for people to go find products, sales, deals, info... It's been going we'll and I expect them to continue to grow.

What people need to remember is we are a social community. We are not an ad platform. Think of vendor ads as commercials in your. Favorite tv show. Two threads a week is plenty for people to find sales, and nobody is going to die is they can't wait a few days to find out who has the cheapest QP to Beligum. We really want vendors and buyers to reach each other, but this isn't the purpose of this sub.

Please don't be shy to message the mods, ever. We are all very friendly and very happy to help people understand the rules.

Welcome aboard! Last note - we love vendors who are active here. But please blend into the community. We don't allow ads in other threads, such as someone discussing a drug and a vendor pops in to advertise. We remove those and ban repeat offenders.

Consider this a discussion forum and use your best judgement about what is appropriate. We don't allow vendor battles; we don't allow shilling or general shenanigans. We have few issues or drama and hope to stay that way.

Good luck!
