What r/salesforce is
This is an unofficial (no salesforce sponsorship) forum to discuss getting certified and building on salesforce platforms (force.com, heroku, exacttarget, slack, etc.)
Salesforce ecosystem vendors that are comfortable publishing their price and saying who they are.
Can a brand post in r/salesforce?
Rule 2, Product/Service Transparency, says you must add a disclaimer if you have a commercial interest in a product you link, and that if you link to a product or service, full product pricing must be shared as well. An AppExchange vendor can work with that, but a pitch without pricing is not allowed. Rule 9 bans spam. Job posts go in the sticky thread with a salary range and an application link, and you can't ask people to send a PM. AI-generated posts that read as generic output are banned, and users are asked not to delete a question after it gets answered.
What works
- Answering practical questions and describing what you tried, which rule 6 asks of askers
- Disclosing a commercial interest whenever you link a product
- Sharing full pricing when you link a product, as rule 2 requires
- Reading threads for what customers and consultants say about the platform, such as the top posts about how Salesforce is perceived
What gets removed
- Linking a product without a disclaimer or pricing
- Spam and cert or coupon begging
- Generic AI-written posts and comments
- Recruiter-style job posts outside the sticky thread, or posts asking for PMs
The rules, summarised
- 1. No dumps/cheaters allowed
If you're using dumps, you are cheating on the test. Offering or asking for dumps will result in a ban.
- 2. Product/Service Transparency
A disclaimer is required if you have a commercial interest in a product you link, and full product pricing must be shared when you link to a product or service.
- 3. Job Rules
1. Use the sticky hiring post and follow format from the post 2. Hiring posts require job application link and salary range. 3. We are not allowed to ask people to just send a PM because there are too many recruiters reselling resumes.
- 4. No AI-Generated Posts/Comments
AI to fix broken English is fine, but it's not allowed to make posts that: 1. Reads like generic AI output (high-level, vague, no specifics) 2. Repeats common advice without adding value.
- 5. If you post a question, don't delete it after you get your answer
We've had an increase lately in people posting a question then deleting the post after they get an answer. Doing this will result in a ban.
- 6. When asking for help please describe what you tried
Did you google it first? It duplicates effort to ask for help and not describe what you tried or researched because people will spend time suggesting things you already tried.
- 7. No cert / coupon begging
The rule has a title only, with no further text on Reddit.
- 8. See sticky posts before asking questions about getting started
The rule has a title only, with no further text on Reddit.
- 9. No spam
The rule has a title only, with no further text on Reddit.
