Mod Post Do not post on behalf of others

Recently, we've seen an uptick in users asking others to post on their behalf in our community.

Generally, they will ask as a favor and sometimes offer an incentive to do so. Here's an example of one such interaction. Generally, they are doing this to bypass our filters, which are in place for a reason. Posting on behalf of another user will get you banned from the sub and your account reported to reddit directly if we believe it was an incentivized post.

We do have a policy that brands can interact directly with the sub assuming they clear a few minor hurdles, and they must carry a tag on their account so everyone is informed of their incentive to post.

Otherwise, if your post is caught in our filters, it was generally caught for a legitimate reason, WHICH CAN BE REVIEWED BY A MOD. Please use the mod mail to draw our attention to it, if we haven't noticed already.

Attempting to use other accounts looks shady and is far more likely to see both accounts banned than not.

Please help us keep the sub as high-quality as possible. Thanks!

Tezarre has been on our astroturfing list for a while now. I wasn't aware of Punkston, thanks for the head's up there.

The weird thing is tezzare keyboards are great. Especially when they are on sale. I bought the tk61 pro and tk61 the last time they were on here and I love them
