Civcraft2Import:Rules/subreddit

= Subreddit Rules and Guidlines
=

1. Posts must be directly or reasonably tangentially Civcraft related. Off topic posts must be posted in the weekly discussion thread.

As a general guideline, Posts must have a direct relation to players, in-game events or the political aspect of the game. Meta posts about game rules and game mechanics are permitted as well. It is recommended to use text posts in favor of link posts. For all other posts, please use the weekly discussion thread. It is usually posted on Sunday and pinned to the top of the subreddit.

Examples of posts that should be submitted directly to the subreddit:


 * Diplomatic events such as declarations of war and peace treaties
 * Invitations to political events such as an Internationale
 * Building showcases
 * Propaganda
 * Bounties and claims posts
 * Business advertisements (trade posts belong to /r/civcraftexchange or similar services)

Examples of posts that belong in the weekly discussion thread:


 * Selfie threads
 * Posts about games other than civcraft
 * Invitations to community events that are not tied to an ingame event
 * Movie threads
 * Posts about IRL politics

2. Remember to follow [reddit's rules](https://www.reddit.com/rules), the subreddit is hosted on reddit's servers after all.

The Civcraft Administration has no control over Reddit’s servers and only has limited policing capabilities on the subreddit. There is a limit to what we can do and we encourage users to make use of our forums which are more policable.

3. Label NSFW posts as NSFW.

Posts that fail to do this will be removed. The moderators will not tag your posts for you unless the content is particuarly questionable and if this is the case you will recieve a warning. Always play it safe and tag potentially NSFW posts and comments as NSFW.

4. Posts that are spam, i.e. posts containing no relevant content, will be marked as spam. Posts colloquially known as “shitposts” may be treated as spam depending on the amount of effort and/or “quality” present in said posts.

Examples for Spam/shitposts:


 * Non-Civcraft related PvP videos
 * Posts asking to reset the map
 * Image macros
 * Posts asking to be unbanned
 * Witchhunts
 * Statements of one-person-nations about international diplomacy
 * Pictures with one word titles
 * Memes

The moderators get to decide what is or is not a shitpost and if it should or should not be removed.

5. Harrasment of any kind on the subreddit is punishable by all-service bans. This includes doxxing and slurs, however, the former will be treated much harsher than the latter.

You are playing a game. Act like it. Homophopbic, racist, and xenophobic slurs and language will be removed. If the usage is aforementioned language is habitual then the user will be warned and potentially banned.

6. Posts marked [Serious] by either a tag or flair will be moderated to stay on-topic however on-topic jokes are permitted if they encourage thoughtful discussion.

[Serious] posts are meant to encourage a constructive discussion about issues of relatively big importance, that would otherwise be drowned in a flood of joke comments. This also means that posts marked with that tag are held to a higher standard, and shitposts marked with a [Serious] tag will always be removed.

7. No throwaway accounts. No reddit alts. Accounts posting in-game info must be associated with an in-game account. New posters may be requested to verfiy this in modmail and/or asked to include their in-game name in their Reddit flair.

We allow one reddit account per person. If you have a reddit alt, do not use it on /r/civcraft.

If you see a rule violation, do not complain about it on the subreddit, report it. You would be surprised how often there are comments like “why don’t the mods remove this” on a rule violation that has never been reported. The moderators are active, but they will not see and check every single post within the first few hours of it being posted. If it is a serious violation of the rules please report it using modmail and not just reddit’s own reporting system. Reddit’s reporting system only functions as a quick check for moderators and is not useful for investigation purposes.

Violations of reddit's rules should be reported by messaging /r/reddit.com.
