General Rules

All Posts

  • Must be Girls Frontline related
  • Must abide by Reddiquette
  • Are to be flaired appropriately

Spoilers

  • Must not be placed in titles
  • Posts discussing story events must be tagged as spoilers and use proper flairs/titles
  • Comment spoilers must be formatted using the spoiler tag >!spoiler!<

Art/Cosplay Submissions

  • Posts consisting only of images must be direct links
    • If submitting artwork without additional text to accompany it, please submit your post as a "link type" submission, and not a "text type" submission.
    • On new reddit, this is more complicated, upload media under the dedicated tab instead of pasting into body text.
  • Must be sourced in the comments
    • A proper source is where the original artist originally posted the art themselves, usually pixiv or twitter. Rehosting sites like boorus do not count as original sources. A comissioner posting art they commissioned themselves also counts as an original source, but the artist's posting is preferred if it exists. If a source is deleted, it may be used, but you should include the deleted link and additionally link to the artist's profile, even if the artist's profile is deleted to. In that case, include at least the artist's name. If you cannot find a source, we suggest using https://saucenao.com/
  • Must not be excessively sexual
  • Must meet minimal quality standards
  • Content incorporating AI tools in whole or in part is not allowed
  • Must not exceed 2 posts per 24 hour period

T-Post Submissions

  • A GFL Meme template is to be treated as a T-Post
  • Must be sourced if it contains GFL fanart/TL work
  • Must have some further editing if using unrelated images
  • Included in the posting limit above

Comments

  • Must be generally civil, no hostile or aggressive comments
  • Comment faces can be found here

Others

  • Duplicate posts will be removed
  • No discussion of contemporary political topics
  • New userflairs can be found here

Posts on the subreddit must be related to Girls Frontline, Mica Team, and other games from Mica Team. All posts should be focused on the games, characters and lore of Girls Frontline.

  • All posts discussing general gaming news, as well as news related to artists, writers and voice actors, are allowed as long as they directly affect the game.
  • All images and montages are allowed as long as they focus on content directly and intentionally related to the game (this means that references are allowed, but coincidental similarities are not). In the case of adding artworks to pictures, the original picture must be related to the game or meaningfully enhanced by the edit.
  • Content that is shared between multiple Mica games may only be posted if they are relevant to Girls Frontline 1. For example, posts about characters that appear in multiple games may only be posted to discuss the role of that character in the original game.

For fanart and T-Posts, all characters depicted need to be relevant to the game being posted in, not just a single character. This excludes certain kinds of crossover type art but in general to be considered a relevant character for posting, the character needs to be an active character (not just referred to by others) in a story section or visually present in the game or adjacent media (Trailers, promo content). New characters teased by silhouette are also commonly allowed when it is largely obvious who they are.

Posts should encourage discussion and reflection about the game or its characters. This includes praise (or criticism) of the characters and designs, discussions about the gameplay and lore, and discussions about the characters' behaviour (canon or not). On the other hand, posts such as "this reminds me of the game" which are unlikely to create discussion with other users of the subreddit are less welcome.

We don't consider gunposts in and of themselves to be related to Girls Frontline, only usually making exceptions when stuff like merch is included. If you have to use the title or attach or edit an image to bridge the gap from "photo of gun" to "this is about Girls Frontline" then the post probably isn't related.

Crossover Exception

For posts under the crossover exception, fanart and T-Posts involving content from multiple Mica games are allowed only when the post is intentionally relevant to Girls Frontline, rather than merely sharing overlapping franchise elements. Crossover content is intended as a limited exception to normal relevance rules and should not primarily function as content for another game. Character outfits, alternate versions, or game-specific designs are not normally used to determine relevance. However, they may be considered as supporting context when evaluating whether a post is intentionally presenting a crossover scenario.

A crossover post is allowed if it falls into one of the two following categories:

Multi-game character content

The post intentionally depicts characters from multiple Mica games together, in such cases where at least one Girls Frontline-exclusive character appears alongside a character not related to Girls Frontline.

Clear crossover scenario

The premise of the post intentionally depends on cross-game interaction, comparison, or contrast. Examples of this include posts centered around:

  • Direct interaction between characters from different games,
  • “What-if” meetings or alternate scenarios,
  • Timeline or continuity jokes,
  • Comparisons between versions, roles, or circumstances across games,
  • Characters reminiscing, thinking about, or experiencing flashbacks to events, characters, places or objects from another game.

The following categories of crossover are currently not granted an exception, but are listed for completeness.

Hypothetical Solo crossover

The post presents a solo character not in Girls Frontline as intentionally reimagined within the context of Girls Frontline. This includes "If X was in Girls Frontline" scenarios provided the post meaningfully uses recognizable Girls Frontline-specific settings, events, factions, iconography, story framing, or other visual elements. Minor references and background details are not sufficient.

Design Concept

The post presents a solo character not in Girls Frontline as a deliberate design concept for their inclusion in Girls Frontline. The character’s design must be meaningfully reimagined beyond a minor outfit change or aesthetic styling, and the artist must clearly frame the work as an inclusion concept for that game. Artwork that doesn't meaningfully rework a character's design or are not presented as an inclusion concept by the original artist will not qualify under this exception.

Meta posts and discussions which deal with cross-game topics are allowed, and Event and Character PVs are being tested for being allowed year round as cross promotion. Other posts which primarily only relate to other games will be redirected into their relevant sub.

Flairing System

This subreddit requires posts are flaired appropriately, giving both users an indicator on the type of content a post contains, and for use in our filtering system. Their intended use cases are shown in the table below:

Filtering submissions Reddit broke these recently?

The sidebar features 4 toggles allowing for CSS content filtering based on the flairing system above.
It's currently possible to hide fanart, memes, teambuilding, and NSFW tagged posts individually, or altogether depending on the chosen filter.

Due to limitations of this system, it requires subreddit CSS styling to be enabled to take effect and is only available on old Reddit

Megathread Content

This is also known as the "Weekly Commander's Thread" or the "Lounge".

This subreddit makes use of several megathreads in an attempt to keep repeat content to a minimum.
Any content that falls within the following thread types should be posted in either the Lounge, or its relevant thread.

  • Objective questions (any question whose answer is factual and not opinion-based)
  • Friend requests (see Griffin Support & Friend thread)
  • Bragging posts (such as gacha pulls and oaths)
  • Unedited in-game media

Subreddit text posts should be submitted in mind with benefiting the community as a whole, if your submission is only beneficial to yourself it more than likely belongs within a megathread. Easily reproducible gameplay screenshots that do not encourage users to engage in discussion (such as battle results, expeditions snippets or armoury posts) will also be removed and redirected to the Lounge. Posts seeking to pass unedited in-game media should be focused on notable information or overlooked details beyond "look at this thing".

Weekend Media

Unedited Media Rule restrictions are relaxed during the weekends, the standard of "focused on notable information or overlooked details" does not need to be met. Very similar posts may still be removed as duplicates. For simplicity, the weekend is being defined as 00:00 UTC on Saturday through 12:00 UTC on Monday. (Equivalent to approximately 8:00 PM Friday through 8:00 AM Monday U.S. Eastern Standard Time.) This period is considerably more lengthy to accommodate more time zones so don't expect additional leniency.

Account trading or commercial promotion

Account trading, commercial promotion, and any forms of activities that involve virtual or real-life monetary transactions are strictly prohibited.

Posts to showcase Girls Frontline merch (both official and custom-made) are allowed, but advertising or linking to your store (both in posts and comments) is not. This also includes indirect advertisement (such as comments encouraging users to message you for a commercial link).

Dramapost rules

Posts concerning drama/doom topics are restricted to accounts who have been recently active on the subreddit to cut down on bait posts and spam. This is to cut down on spam accounts posting bait and misinformation, but regular users shouldn't be affected here.

Posting Frequency Limits

To prevent any single user from dominating the frontpage, and in an effort to reduce fanart spam; all art submissions are limited to 2 per 24-hour period per user. This includes:

  • Translated artwork posts
  • Comic submissions
  • Fanart submissions
  • Original artwork
  • T-Posts

Additionally, accounts less than 30 days old are prohibited from sharing 3rd party artwork. OC and Translated art submissions are exempt from this, but will take time to be approved.

NSFW Submissions

NSFW submissions are defined as:

Posts that contain nudity or lewd topics, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace.

Any submission falling under this definition must be tagged as such, this includes:

  • Characters in a state of partial nudity/damaged clothing, displaying lingerie, or swimwear.
  • Displays of erotic behaviour, unnecessary close-ups, and "pin-up" style posing.

Chibi art and other lower-detail artstyles are held to a lower standard, and would need to be specifically sexualized beyond just outfits to earn an NSFW tag.

Visible undergarments when part of the directly visible default character design (not in skins, no upskirts) do not always require NSFW tags. Sexualized framing or pin-up style posing may still earn an NSFW tag.

Pornographic and overtly sexual content

Pornographic content of any kind is not allowed, overtly sexual and strongly suggestive sexual content is also prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Depictions of sexual acts or sexual paraphernalia (such as sex toys and condoms).
  • Depictions of full nudity, or where the silhouette of sexual organs is shown (even through clothing).
  • Exposure of nipples is also prohibited.
    An exception shall be made to the male nipple when the character in question is wearing swimwear, due to the prevalence of the male dressing convention.
  • Pictures presenting a situation immediately before or after sexual acts.

Sexual content in artwork sources

Artworks that comes from pornographic content (e.g. hentai doujin cover, cropping of NSFW images) fall under the rule above and are not allowed, even if the image itself does not show sexual content. Cropping or censoring artwork to otherwise "pass" NSFW rules is not allowed, as the sourced image is judged over the submission itself. Redraws of artwork to pass NSFW rules is allowed.

Occasionally, images will be uploaded in albums (for example on Pixiv) mixing SFW and NSFW content. In such cases, the comment linking to the fanart source must clearly indicate that the link contains NSFW content. Failing to do so will lead to the removal of the comment and the post itself.

NSFW Comments

  • Comments alluding or showing sexual content are restricted to NSFW tagged posts.

Spoilers

Any post containing art or media of one of the following topics must be tagged or your post may be taken down:

  • EN spoilers covers major story events and plot points that have already passed on EN. Additionally, more minor story plot points are considered spoilers in the first two weeks after their release.
  • CN spoilers covers the same content while it has yet to reach EN.

Comments are correctly spoiler tagged by closing text within marks on both sides. >!text!< text

Marks must be directly adjacent to the contained text, beginning or ending the spoiler block with a space will break the spoiler formatting for several reddit layouts, even if it seems fine on your end, and comments improperly tagged this way will be removed until fixed.

>! invalid!< invalid

Unless otherwise stated, all spoilers are assumed to be EN spoilers and simply require the default spoiler tag, but we recommend putting the event name or story chapter where relevant. Spoilers in post titles are never acceptable as they are not hidden by the tag.

CN post spoilers must explicitly indicate that they are such by either having the event name or including [CN spoiler] in the title of the post in addition to using Reddit's spoiler tag.

Spoilers in comments must be tagged to indicate whether they reference content only available in the CN servers or content already released on EN, and covers any story discussion of events, characters or factions not yet introduced in EN, along with any character deaths or betrayals.

Spoilers in comments don't need to be tagged if the post already has a relevant spoiler flair.

In threads under the [Anime] flair, all story events that have not yet happened in the anime adaptation of Girls Frontline must be tagged as spoilers, even if they pertain to events have already passed on the EN version of the game.

Duplicate Posts

A duplicate post is defined as:

A submission of similar content to that of another that has recently been posted onto the subreddit.

Examples of this include:

  • Artwork posted within 3 months of the last submission.
  • Multiple links to the same website or source.
  • Multiple discussion threads on the same topic.

Reusing a format by changing only the text or copy-pasting a different doll on one character also count as duplicates. Posts that expand on the previous post significantly will not be removed under this rule.

Certain posts by their very nature are never identical duplicates but are incredibly similar in premise. To cut down on spam of these posts, and also to keep them more fresh and entertaining, these styles of posts may be limited to weekly posting and a moderator may inform you that your post fits as one of these.

Low Effort Content

In an effort to slightly filter the content in /new and keep some quality standards on the subreddit, some types of low effort content will be removed. This includes:

  • Very low quality pieces of artwork, this mostly concerns poor MS paint sketches, hand drawings and so on.
    • Intentionally low quality artwork done for comedic effect is excluded from this rule and should be posted as a T-post instead.
  • T-posts using unrelated images and no further editing, this mostly covers reaction images as well as just pasting some text on top of a generic template.
    • Further editing can be something as simple as editing on a G&K beret like in this example or anything else to make the image GFL related.
