What its rules say about AI and bots
Properly source fan art
Artists deserve their credit - some of them actually depend on it financially. If you did not make the art and want to post it, you must make a link post. Consistently breaking this rule could result in a ban from the subreddit. Posting pay-walled content is never allowed on this subreddit. For more specifics on “Sourcing fan-art”, please check the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/wiki/index/sourcing_fan-art) or contact us in Modmail. Under no circumstances is any AI content allowed.
All 14 rules of r/splatoon
- Follow Reddiquette
At its core, follow the Golden Rule. If you need more guidance, Reddit has compiled the Reddiquette, which all subreddits are required to adhere to. You may review it [here](https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette) - No NSFW content
Images, text, or links depicting nudity, sexual scenes (including cropped), horiffic injury, etc is grounds for immediate ban. Swim suits and the like are usually ok, but images containing obvious sex references are not. Comments that are nsfw are also subject to removal and/or ban pending mod review. - Posts must be directly related to Splatoon
We are a Splatoon-first subreddit. We occasionally get Switch related questions, more general Nintendo posts, posts about members of the community, with varying levels of relation to Splatoon. Those that have strong ties to the game will likely not be removed, but the majority of these kinds of posts are subject to removal. You should be able to see the relation without requiring an explanation. Memes and conversations from outside the subreddit but still related are at a moderators discretion - Make use of spoilers where appropriate
Not everyone will get a chance to see everything on day 1. Don't ruin it for your friends. Any unreleased datamined or permanent story events must have the spoiler tag. Splatfest results must be spoilered for 1 day after they’re released. Official trailers or news posts by Nintendo are not required to be spoilered. - Low effort posts
Posts with little effort put into them are not allowed. These include but are not limited to: Asking a discussion question with no discussion from OP, images with one sentence. Photoshoots with no external editing (rate my inkling), Lockers with no clear set theme (rate my locker). For more specifics on “Low effort posts”, please check the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/wiki/index/low_effort_posts) or contact us. - Lazy posts, salty posts and reposts.
Please do not create 'lazy' posts. A lazy post includes: Questions with an image added for visibility, common post trends copied from other subreddits, reaction images/gifs, game screenshots with no explanations A rant/salty post is a post that offers no constructive criticism about the game at all and is just for complaining. A repost is an identical post within the last 6 months, or a similarly posted format recently. - 5b. Fist bumps, 100x battles
In splatfests, and regular gameplay, posting screenshots of your inkling fist bumping or winning a 10x or 100x battle are not allowed. Please share these in the live splatfest chats. - No malicious hacking or breaking Nintendo's TOS
Posting the results of local mods is usually fine, but content that shows you either know how to hack online play or breaks Nintendo's Terms of Service is strictly forbidden and depending on severity may result in immediate ban. - Use the Discord for match searching
Discord is a much easier platform for finding people to play with quickly. https://discord.gg/rsplatoon If you would prefer to find people on the subreddit and are ok with the slower response times, we do have weekly pinned posts you can post your friend code to and search for matches there. Posts only looking for games may be removed by a moderator. You are allowed to post your friend group or discord server invites on the subreddit, just don’t spam them. - No heavy topics
This is an international gaming subreddit. Political topics are polarizing, and to some, completely irrelevant. They are also off-topic. Keep politics out of r/Splatoon. Further, discussing mental illness, very dark content and references, and excessively spicy content is prohibited on this subreddit. - Properly source fan art
Artists deserve their credit - some of them actually depend on it financially. If you did not make the art and want to post it, you must make a link post. Consistently breaking this rule could result in a ban from the subreddit. Posting pay-walled content is never allowed on this subreddit. For more specifics on “Sourcing fan-art”, please check the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/wiki/index/sourcing_fan-art) or contact us in Modmail. Under no circumstances is any AI content allowed. - Remember that mod mail exists
Got a question about the rules? Need help? Reach out in mod mail! We’re here to help. You can send a mod mail at [https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/splatoon](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/splatoon) - Soft Account requirements
If your account is younger than a day, your posts will be flagged for review. Additionally, there are other criteria we have in place in order to catch spam that will flag posts. If your post is flagged, don't panic! A mod will review it shortly. This applies to comments as well as posts. - Link directly to sources.
Please link to the source if you are sharing official news, merch, data, artwork etc. Not just a screenshot. If you are sharing splatfest results, please post the full ingame results (not the app) and make sure it is spoilered.
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.
