I'm trying to tackle Reddit, and getting nowhere. Apart from the fact that it's complete chaos, they don't operate like any other forum I've ever seen.
I've had one sign-up that immediately got me a shadow-ban for no apparent reason, and one where my posts just don't show up.
I've send pleas for help to mods, with no replies.
They don't seem to have anything like a standard help forum.
Is there any place that has a basic list of instructions

I think he's referring to Reddit.
Jump to PostThere are so many SubReddits on Reddit. If you're using each one of them, make sure to check out the rules and regulations of them. If you don't, they will keep suspending your account before Reddit will outrightly give you a permanent ban.

Reddit is quite the place so if you post anything promotional even if it's just your web page on How To Silly Walk you'll get the boot.
And then there's KARMA which isn't a given and might be tough to accrue.
What did you post?

Start with small Subreddits. Don't go for big one's from the start. Big One's have filters, when you publish from a new account. Your post won't get published unless the mods approve it.

I can't even figure out how to reply here. I haven't posted in a long time, and this looks less user-friendly than it used to be. Why don't I see something that lets me reply to a particular person?
Rproffitt, I can even figure out what karma is. Or flair. Seems to me like proof that it's a horrible web site if they refuse to use standard terminology but won't explain their own jargon.

Not only does that sound annoying, but it sounds a bit like the reason why I created DaniWeb in the first place.
Basically DaniWeb was founded out of my frustration that there were sooo many niche forums out at the time, and I felt like just to put a website together, I had to use JustLinux.com to learn about the OS, WebHostingTalk.com to learn how to host it, PHPFreaks.com to learn about the php side, DBForums.com for the database side, SitePointForums.com and WebmasterWorld.com for the marketing and SEO. Every community has its own set of rules and nuances, and I wanted to create one unified place where you can learn about all of the technologies you use together in a consistent environment with the same community culture and familiar faces.
