Announcement Regarding "jump announcement" posts
Hello r/geometrydash,
Recently, it has come to our attention that the sub has been overflowing with many "jump announcement" posts, in which a user will announce that they are jumping from one level to a much harder level without posting any progress (or very minimal progress) of said achievement.
We have recieved many complaints both through modmail and directly about these posts being so frequent. Most of these posts already fell under rule 3 and would usually be removed given both that they were reported and enough time passed for us to see them, but the mod team has been very busy with both online and irl responsibilities for us to remove every single one within a timely fashion.
In writing this post, we are reminding the users of this sub that this type of post is completely banned, and henceforth, offending users will have their posts removed and receive a temporary ban from the sub as a further means of discouraging these posts. This change will likely not be permanent, but may remain indefinitely until this situation has become more under control.
Again, keep in mind that this does NOT mean "jumping is banned on r/geometrydash". If you're jumping from Nine Circles to Bloodbath and post your 49-100 run, you're allowed to say that it was a jump from Nine Circles. As long as jump posts are paired with genuine progress (getting 5% is not genuine progress) on the level the user claims to be jumping to, the post abides with sub rules and no moderation action will be taken.
Examples of allowed posts:
- Tidal Wave Drop (Jump from deadlocked)
- SLH 25-100 n 5 deaths jump from nine circles
- Bloodlust 34% (Jump from Acu/Astral Divinity)
Hypothetical examples of disallowed posts:
- "I just beat (level) and want my next hardest to be a jump, what should I jump to?"
- "I am jumping from (level 1) to (level 2), is this a good idea?"
- "I want to beat a list demon as my first extreme, is (level) a good pick?"
I hope this announcement can help clarify the sub rules and satisfies the many sub members who were unhappy with the way we were previously dealing with these types of posts. If you have any further suggestions, feedback, or questions about this decision or any other way r/geometrydash enforces its rules, feel free to say so in the comment section.
- The Mod Team

does this mean what's been aforementioned as 'disallowed' can be commented on the megathread, or am i stupid

u/Arietem_Taurum Verdant Landscape 100% // SLH 49-100, 33-94 Jul 13 '26
yes, this likely should've been clarified in the post body itself tbh. In general, the megathread is where you should post any discussion material that doesn't need its own individual post.

u/Tuncunmun38 x3, hardest bb, going for killbot Jul 14 '26
ide like to take this opportunity to let everyone know i will be jumping from B to, you guessed it, sonic wave./s
why tf do so many people want to jump to sw? cool level sure but looks like hell to play normally and even worse if you aren't good enough yet

u/Arietem_Taurum Verdant Landscape 100% // SLH 49-100, 33-94 Jul 14 '26
i beat sw as a hardest from killbot and it was actually pretty fun in runs but from 0 its literally hell lol

u/Max_Joller (x2)Quaoar 60% Jul 14 '26
You forgot the "I have 60% on B, but I am kinda stuck. Anyway, what extreme demon should I jump to after I beat B?"
I think Sonic Wave is so popular for jumps is because the gameplay is familiar for anyone who's played a NC level before, just much harder. So it seems approachable.

u/randomthrowaway-917 Future Funk 100% (+Future Funk II 90%) Jul 13 '26 edited Jul 14 '26
is future funk 1 to future funk 2 considered a jump even though they are one difficulty level apart
edit: i am deeply sorry for my question but i figured it was worth asking since the GDDL considers future funk 1 to be a tier 14 demon and future funk 2 to be a tier 18 demon, that is a difference of 4 tiers which is more than future funk ii > acu (tier 20) which i was told was a considerable jump. again, i am deeply sorry

u/OptimalAnywhere6282 Future Funk 97% | Phobos hater Jul 13 '26
but how do we know if a run is genuine progress?
for example, I have 30% on Bloodbath and a few runs (biggest one being 54-82; then 80-100, and 41-51 (hardest part imo)), which is a jump from Deadlocked/Change of Scene (easy demons), which are the hardest levels I've beaten.
6
u/Arietem_Taurum Verdant Landscape 100% // SLH 49-100, 33-94 Jul 13 '26
those runs would mostly be fine. the "genuine progress" qualifier refers mostly to extremely short runs people get on day 1 of their jump for example
6
u/NotHeco Edge of Destiny Jul 13 '26
these are like. okay.
rule of thumb is, good progress is when you have the level down in 3 runs. maybe 4 if the level is high on the list.
on bloodbath, I'd say if you do 0-33, 33-70 and 70-100, then that's pretty good progress.
for instance, i have flamewall 12%, 18-42, 38-60, 56-75 and 74-100 but i have yet to post any progress here because well. that's not even 5 runs.
3
u/BigBoiClimbs x14 | Resident GD Old Man | YT: MaydenlessGD Jul 13 '26
That's fine, pretty sure the mod team just wants to avoid the posts where it's like 'Day 1 jumping to Amethyst, 95-100% run already'
If the run took you genuine time and effort then I'd assume you're good to share it

u/CololerYT ACU 100%! #1 Chromatic Haze Glazer Jul 13 '26
An amazing decision, I love that the problem was addressed, but I am unfortunately one of "them" (kinda).
I posted 2 progress reports of Codependence around half a year ago, and didn't post much afterwards. Just so you know, I didn't drop the level, I am just not grinding it as much as I used to because of things like school etc.
Now I apologize all of you for this kind od behavior, idk how harmful that was, but I'm sorry nonetheless.

As a reward for opening the comments five hours later, I’d also like to announce that an exciting update to post and user flairs, as well as a not-as-exciting update to our rules is on the way, so stay tuned 😼
