If you're unsure if something is a spoiler, err on safety, and mark it! Click the "spoiler" button if you've created a post that may contain spoilers. * a) Titles should never contain spoilers. * b) Comments in non-spoiler posts or outside the spoiler context should use [Reddit's spoiler formatting](/r/ffxiv/wiki/flairs_spoilers_filters). * c) Posts about leaks and data mining should be spoiler tagged. * d) Spoiler posts must have a title containing `[Spoiler: x]` where `x` is the context. - Restricted types of content
* a) All content should be FFXIV-related and/or on-topic. * b) Repetitive posts [listed here](https://bit.ly/rffxivr4) are subject to removal. Questions on our [Definitive FAQ](http://bit.ly/rffxiv-df) belong **only** in the question megathread. * c) Belongs **only** in a more [relevant subreddit](http://bit.ly/rffxiv-r4). * d) Research and surveys must be specifically focused on FFXIV, and may only be posted after review and approval from the Moderation team. - Ensure screenshots are easily understood
The “clarity rule”—it can sometimes be difficult to identify what you’re trying to share in a screenshot, especially for newer players. This should be made clear in the post title, in the linked content itself (like circling in the screenshot), or as a comment. A post will be re-approved if a removed screenshot is later clarified via a comment by the poster. - Fanworks
* a) When posting content including discovered, commissioned, or other types of non-original content (non-OC) fanworks, the author/artist must be credited with their name(s) in the post title. * b) Art re-hosted against the permission of the artist may also be removed at the discretion of the moderators. * c) Art posts that advertise for profit within the Reddit post are prohibited. E.g. Links to Patreon, ko-fi, web stores, pricing information. - Don't spam
* a) Excessive self-promotion by an account with the sole purpose of advertising is prohibited and subject to removal at moderator discretion. Posters must be active on Reddit outside of their own content. * b) Blogspam about content (esp. FFXIV news, patch notes, interviews); original sources should be linked instead. * c) URL shorteners & referral/affiliate links, which are blocked by reddit.com filters and subject to removal. * d) Other content reasonably judged as spam. - Search before posting
Duplicate posts made within a short time frame dilute community discussion across multiple posts. Reposts are generally acceptable given enough time has passed. Official news posts are subject to removal under this rule, e.g. patch notes (including screenshots of patch notes) or server status updates. - No sexual NSFW content
Artistic nudity is allowed provided that it is tagged as NSFW. Some NSFW content is not allowed; * Hardcore / Porn style NSFW content * NSFW or suggestive content involving Lalafells or underage characters * NSFW game modifications - Misleading information
Misleading, incorrect, and false information is subject to correction or removal. When speculating or making assumptions, make it clear that what you are posting is not a fact. - Giveaways
Giveaways must be conducted on the basis that there are 'no strings attached'. This applies to both physical and digital goods. This means the people who enter the giveaway **must not** be required to follow/subscribe/share content on social media/media platforms, pay a fee, use a Recruit-a-Friend code, etc. Exemptions may be given by the moderation team for official giveaways and giveaways for donations to charitable organizations such as Extra Life or Child's Play on a case by case basis. - Incorrect post flair
Select "Incorrect post flair" when reporting a post to inform the moderation team about a post with an incorrect post flair. The poster should adjust the link flair as needed, but the moderator team can as well if necessary.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
