Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

That doesn't sound like a Reddit problem. It's a rule set up by the mods of the sub. And imo, not a bad rule for such a large sub
And I'm not defending Reddit, which I've stopped using when the API changes happened, after using it for maybe a decade. Just pointing the blame in the right direction.
But doesn’t this imply that Reddit itself would have to do something to prevent spamming those subreddits full of slurry?
I don't think so, no. Sure, Reddit made these controls available to mods, but the mods can decide to use them as they see fit.
Frankly, I don't think it's a bad rule. For a sub that big, they need pretty strict controls before a new user can post. Otherwise, they'd get flooded with spam.
If I sort by new, 2 of 3 most current posts are definitely below the quality of my post.
This might be due to me being drunk AF right now but I think my reading still works
Yeah, which means that you'd be able to build up the karma you need quickly.
Someone driving a car the day before getting their first license could be a better driver than some people who've had theirs for years! Lol
