>In their discussion with the mods they mention "site-wide rules" which makes me think they don't understand that the mods of each reddit make their own rules.

They're referring to the 10% guideline that many subreddits follow:

You should submit from a variety of sources (a general rule of thumb is that 10% or less of your posting and conversation should link to your own content), talk to people in the comments (and not just on your own links), and generally be a good member of the community.
