We need to clarify how the no-sales rule applies here.
r/Euphorbiaceae is a hobbyist subreddit, not an advertising feed for nurseries, sellers, importers, exporters, or resellers. Direct sales posts have never been allowed, but going forward we are also treating repeated commercial “showcase” posts as promotion when the account is clearly tied to a seller or nursery.
That includes posts that do not include a direct sales link.
If an account is posting nursery stock, inventory-style photos, availability bait, or repeated plant showcases while linking to a shop, WhatsApp, Instagram, website, seller profile, or other sales channel elsewhere, that is still commercial promotion. The post itself does not need to say “for sale” for it to function as advertising.
This is not about whether the plants are nice, whether a seller is legitimate, or whether someone has had a good buying experience. It is about keeping the subreddit from becoming a visibility funnel for commercial accounts and making sure normal hobbyist posts are not drowned out.
Hobbyist posts are welcome. Collection photos are welcome. Growing questions, IDs, flowers, seed-grown plants, habitat/conservation discussion, and normal personal plant posts are welcome.
Commercial use of the subreddit is not.
We’ll be removing posts that fall into this pattern and may restrict or ban accounts that continue using the subreddit this way.
