Ban risk
High
Best time to post

The rules, in plain English

The Club explicitly prohibits direct or indirect promotion of commercial testing tools, services, or training. If your product is testing-related, don't post it as a launch — instead contribute real expertise in discussions and let a genuinely helpful profile do the work; overt promotion is removed.

How to post here safely

Do
  • Frame the post around a genuine discussion, question, or the craft story.
  • Disclose that it's your product and participate in the comments.
Don't
  • Don't open a thread that's purely a launch pitch — many forums ban liberally.
