Message the mods before posting a blog. Any unapproved blog will be removed. Please be aware, the reddit admins tend to ShadowBan users that make multiple blog postings or spam. That is outside of the mods control.
By consensus the /r/Epilepsy community has decided to disallow individual fundraising appeals. See /r/Assistance, /r/GoFundMe, /r/CrowdFunding, or /r/KickStarter, or other sub-reddits that can help.
Mods reserve the right to remove content or restrict users' posting privileges as necessary if it is deemed detrimental to the subreddit or to the experience of others.
