When publishing replies on Reddit / social platforms from the Reno Stars account, do NOT include any version of "We do X at Reno Stars", "happy to help", "feel free to reach out", or any closing CTA — even soft ones.

**Why:** The user flagged this on 2026-04-07 after reviewing the social-media-engage drafts: "please dont be like we are advertising". The Reno Stars username on the account already attributes the comment — anyone who finds the advice useful can click through. Adding a CTA makes every reply read as marketing, which hurts trust on Reddit specifically and undermines the whole engagement strategy.

**How to apply:**
- Strip CTAs from all drafts before publishing, even if the cron prompt's `prompts/social-media-engage.md` says soft mentions are okay. The user's preference overrides the prompt.
- Also update `prompts/social-media-engage.md` to remove the "Only mention Reno Stars at the END, naturally" guidance and replace with "No CTAs or company mentions — just helpful advice" the next time it comes up.
- This applies across all platforms (Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Xiaohongshu) — not Reddit-specific.
