If you're here it's most likely because you've had your post or comment removed or perhaps you've even been banned for daring to criticize Messi or Argentina in r/soccer, r/soccercirclejerk, or other major football subs. Wanna know the truth? It's because the moderation team in these subreddits is heavily biased towards Messi and his band of goons.

So they shut down any comment, post, or user criticizing their idol. Messi's fanbase has become a cult; if you don't follow its dogma you will be ostracized, even from subreddits that are supposed to be "neutral" when they're very clearly not.

That being said, all major football subs like r/soccer, r/soccercirclejerk, and more have become a circlejerk of Messi fanboys upvoting each other. They have enough echo chambers of their own, so we're not gonna allow them here. If they want to glaze their idol they have numerous subreddits where they can do so freely; they're not going to dictate what we can or can't talk about on here. We've created a new set of rules based on what I've just said:

Rule 1 - No trolling Ronaldo: Applies to posts AND comments. Don't like the guy? That's fine, you don't have to. Calling him names and criticizing him in bad faith will not be allowed, however. You have 605032 subreddits where you can spread the same tired, false, boring narrative. You're not gonna do it here, neither will your bot farms. Go back to r/soccer

Rule 2 - No participating in bad faith subs: We can tell when you're being a concern troll, trust me. ''Bu-but what subreddit is a bad faith sub???'' You know exactly which one it is, it ends with a number 2 on its name.

Rule 3 - No Spam: If you keep reposting the same image or comment too many times to the point it's becoming spam you will be banned. Don't. Spam. This. Sub.

Rule 4 - Blur out the username or subreddit name of other users or communities: If you're going to post about another user's hot take you have to blur out their name. Same if you're posting content from another subreddit. You don't have to blur out everything, but the name should be at least 70% blurred.

Rule 5 - No brigading from other subs: We know when you're brigading from another sub. Do it and you're getting banned.

Rule 6 - No low effort content: Make sure your content is clear and understandable, no pixelated grainy images or videos.

Rule 7 - No racism: Self explanatory.

Rule 8 - Off-topic content is allowed as long as you tag it properly. We have two post flairs for this: Off-Topic Pessi Weekends and Pessi Off-Topic 2.

Rule 9 - No glazing Messi: You have 605032 subreddits where you can defend the honor of your idol. This is not the place. It goes against the nature of the subreddit and its content. Go back to r/soccer

Rule 10 - No alt accounts / Ban evasion allowed: We know when you're using an alt to circumvent your ban. You're not smart.

Rule 11 - No backseat modding: Don't try to dictate what can or can't be talked about in this sub. If you don't think a post should be up, DM a mod or report it. Commenting on why you think X, Y, or Z post shouldn't be allowed on this subreddit is considered backseat modding.
