If the deal is occupationally restricted, at a minimum it must allow veterans (Retired only is not allowed) or else it should not be posted.

- Dealers are allowed, but have additional restrictions in addition to those outlined above in "Posting Rules". Failure to adhere to these will result in a ban from the subreddit.

- Deleting a post does not affect this restriction. 5 days is 5 days. You will be banned for circumventing this rule. Send the modteam a message to ask if reposting in your situation is allowed. We enforce this rule heavily to ensure all dealers are treated the same.
- The 5 day rule does not count for other legitimate users posting a link to the site. As long as the dealer account only posts once every 5 days it is allowed.

- This subreddit has standards for its deals and as such, certain websites do not meet these standards for various reasons. If you're posting a deal and the automod tells you it is a blocked URL please visit the Blacklist Websites wiki for a comprehensive list.
