Hello fellow ScA ! It’s Uju here again to share with you all another PSA.
Anyways, as we continue to get bigger the issue I’m about to address will continue to happen. So I’m here to clear some things up as well as make it known to you all our stance on advertising.
Advertising on this amino is NOT allowed!
We’ve clearly stated it in our guidelines but I’ll let it be known again. You are not allowed to /promote your amino on this amino. It’s against our guidelines and not following them, can ultimately lead to a ban. Read our guidelines here.
When is advertising okay?
We allow you to promote your amino, personal social media in a few cases:
- Ask for permission first, this is pretty straightforward and the best way to go about promo for your amino. Message me or anyone else on the staff team asking if you can promote your amino on here. Then wait for us to get back to you on our final decision.
- For personal s like your Instagram and so on it’s best to leave it on your profile bio. If you include it in any blog it must not be the main focus of the blog. The staff team has all rights to disable blogs we deem to go against our guidelines. We will you and let you know why we disabled it and if there’s anything you can do to get it re-enabled again.
When is advertising NOT okay?
The following things are not allowed:
- Messaging links to your amino without the permission of any staff member. Please report these types of messages immediately.
- Making posts with links to your amino without permission from the staff team.
- Lying that you have the permission of the staff to when you do not.
- Posting links in the public chats or message walls, again, without permission from the staff team.
What I’m saying is that you need permission to be able to promote/ your amino on here.
What happens if you without permission?
1st time: warning ; 2nd time: strike ; 3rd time: ban. In some cases the ban will come a lot sooner, we look at everything on a case by case basis. So to avoid the possibility of being banned from this amino all you have to do is follow our guidelines.
How to get permission to
It’s very simple, all you have to do is send a private message to any staff member and explain what your amino is about and why you’d like to on here. We won’t guarantee that we will accept your request but here are something that can increase your chances:
- Being an active member of the community (high level/post frequently/active in our chats)
- Your amino shares similar themes/topic to this amino (e.g a beauty amino, health amino)
- Have never received a strike from us or amino or has multiple warnings
- Have an amino with an established staff team & guidelines (brand new aminos will have a high chance of being denied, please take time to build your amino and have a good system in how is being run)
What to do if you see/know someone advertising without our permission, simply report them to us. Alternatively you can take screenshots and send those to us + a link their profile.

Is it okay if someone is recommending a brand to you?
Yup, as long they don’t have any brand affiliation they aren’t disclosing. Product recommendations are fine
