Got my gardening forum account locked for posting a picture of my tomato plants with a specific fertilizer brand name visible

After my account got flagged for 'promotion' because the bag of 'GrowRight 10-10-10' was in the shot, I realized the trick was to just describe the NPK ratio numbers instead of ever saying the brand, and my next post asking about 'a 10-10-10 mix' got tons of helpful replies with zero moderation.

Yeah, that's the move. I've started just calling things by their generic type, like "water soluble 20-20-20" or "a slow release pellet." It gets the exact same info across without tripping any filters. The bots just scan for trademarked names.
