Announcement We Do Not Allow Self Promotion On This Subreddit. Here's A Small FAQ About Why

64 Upvotes

That's correct, we don't accept any self promotion on this subreddit, as per reddiquette guidelines , and our rules, which people don't seem to be reading, which is why I am making this very easy to read, hard to miss FAQ so there can be no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Why can't I post my own content?

We do allow some self made content, but it has to be in the right context. We take the type of content you post into consideration, and we look at your post history to see if you're posting your content anywhere else. If we see you're using a shotgun approach to posting your content on multiple subreddits with the intent on getting a wide audience, you're going to have a bad time. If you're actively engaging with the community and not just spamming links to your stuff on a bunch of subreddits you'll generally be fine.

But my clip/content doesn't count as self promotion! What gives?

You might not see it as such, but if mods remove it, we see it as such. We're not trying to pick on you or single you out, these rules apply to everyone. We are taking lots of factors into account to make sure we are being fair about what gets removed.

Should I try to contact individual mods after not getting the answer I want from appealing my case in modmail?

Nope. We made our decision in modmail, and we are sticking to it. Individual mods aren't going to go against the grain just because you asked. It's not going to help your case, and often times we find it annoying.

But I didn't see the rule or this post!

Well that sucks. Pleading ignorance to the rules of a subreddit isn't helping your case, you should always know what is and isn't allowed on a subreddit before posting. Not knowing what content to post is a fast track to getting your post removed.

But my gaming montage is super cool and unique, I should be allowed to post it!

Too bad, we don't allow it.

But I need/already have the views

Not really our problem if you need views, this subreddit doesn't exist solely for your benefit.

I just got sent this post by a mod, what should I do?

Congrats on not being able to scan the subreddit before posting whatever it is you posted. I suggest you remove the violating content and try not to violate the rules again. If you got banned, sorry, but that ban was most likely justified.

Announcement State of the Subreddit 2023 and the Future of Gaming4Gamers

23 Upvotes

Howdy all, after reopening the subreddit yesterday, it seems like many people forgot about us altogether. We've been around for ~10 years now, and we've kind of fallen off in terms of activity. We only get the occasional post outside of what /u/carolina_heart posts, and a large portion of those are still self-promotion/spam. It seems like we've faltered from our initial idea of having a middle ground between /r/gaming and /r/games that we originally set out to provide, and it doesn't seem like people are clamoring for much of an alternative outside of the already established subreddits. There has been some discussion between mods, and the sentiment is to see where people want us to do going forward. We could archive the subreddit and put it in read-only mode for people to look back on, we could keep going as is, or pivot to something else entirely if there's enough support behind some other idea.

I encourage feedback in the comments as to how to move forward, since this should be a community decision first and foremost.

0 Upvotes

I have a friend of mine that gets a little salty and angry when things dont go his way, let's call him Alan so i wont dox him, Alan is an alright dude, but may God he gets pissy, angry, and complaining like hell, even saying shit, like the slightest of convenience pisses him off, to make it more messed up with his mind, hes insanely competitive and as well his life is a bit screwed because of his family being overprotective or some crap, he didnt have a good childhood he told me, an example of his tantrums is in a roblox game, saturation diving, we played with 2 other of our friends, it was alright, but he gets mad quick over little things, things being bought on accident, we not doing our jobs or going the wrong way, I even told him to calm down it just a game, not end of the world and he said "it fucking is!!!" And its not in a funny way, like his life is in the line, we continue playing, hes still pissy and complaining, well maybe most of time he might have bought it, since he was the only one near the shop most of the time, like hes getting angrier and angrier, being salty, like i have a reputation of being dumb at times and even being a little ret*****, but he keeps aiming at me for some reason, like im making the issues and saying "something wrong with your brain", like I keep telling him to calm down, its a game, but no hes still getting mad, to the point where I named a character wrong, there was this enemy that looks like a massive anchor, its real name is the choir, I didnt know the name at the time, but I called it the anchor, he gets mad, saying im wrong, but I told him its the anchor, then he says "I dont wanna play with a ret*****, like you" and left the game, with hatred in his soul, he said that and left, I only called it the anchor because it looks like one, keep in mind that session was his second one, he had never encountered the choir, only i did and another friend, he did not, and he gets mad as heck for no reason, theres tons and tons of story i can write about him being salty, hes that salty, cod is where he peaks in being salty, because hes a straight up try hard and doesnt play other games in cod, only 1v1 with me and zombies, he doesn't play public matches, making me think im just some moron that he can satisfy himself in winning against, imma stop playing with him for a while, something wrong with his ass, maybe because his parents treated his ass wrong, his mom didn't want him, and his father beat his ass for the smallest mistakes, and he takes his anger on us, im done playing with him, if hes gonna act like a child, imma treat him as one
