There are NO exceptions to the rule if you have no prior non-promotional participation in the subreddit
- Evaluation requests are not allowed on the subreddit front page. To request critiques of your audio, music, video, demo, or site, use the comments section of the "Evaluation and Critique Request" sticky post.
- Seeking work posts are not allowed on the subreddit front page. Use the comment section of the "Self-Promotion Safe Zone" or "Help Wanted" sticky posts.
