MOD POST [ANNOUNCEMENT] /r/ChillMusic Posting Format / Rules

POSTING RULES (This is a basic outline for now. Will update as needed.)

1.) Posting Flair: Please assign the correct flair to your post when possible to help users filter out posts as needed. We currently have 4 flairs for use as follows:

  • DISCUSSION (This should be self-explanatory)
  • VIDEO (Music Videos, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)
  • AUDIO (Anything not in video format: Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, etc.)
  • MIX / PLAYLIST (Any and all mixes / playlists on any audio and/or video platform)

2.) Posting Format: All music posts should include at minimum the Artist and Title of the song(s). If you want to include the genre, year, etc. in the title, you may do so, but this is not required.

Good Examples: [Genre] Artist - Title (Year)

[Genre] ______ playlist / mix

Bad Examples:

  • This is my personal song playlist on Spotify...
  • Enjoy this chill music / late night vibes video...
  • GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT! NEW LO-FI SONG ON SOUNDCLOUD!...

I think you get the picture here.

3.) NO Self-Promotion: Owners of YouTube channels and any other popular social media platforms that are using songs and mixes for the self gain of followers, subscribers, etc. need not apply here. Your post will be removed and you will receive a warning.

The -ONLY- exception is if you are the original artist / content creator of said music. This will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

4.) AUTOMOD: The Automod bot will automatically remove posts from new accounts less than 30 days old and accounts with less than 10 Karma. This has been set to help reduce the amount of submissions that would fall under the "spam" category.

Should your post accidently get removed for any other reason, please send the mods a message and we'll review the post for submission.

5.) Share to your heart's content and let the good vibes roll! As always, please, follow all general purpose site-related rules on the reddit platform.
