All 5 rules of r/StopGaming
- Don't be a dick.
This is a catchall for bad behavior. Use your best judgement. Don't be unnecessarily rude to anyone. Don't talk about how amazing a game or games are. Don't try to persuade people not to quit. - Don't beg.
Don't ask for anyone's Steam account, games, or anything else here. - Don't get rid of your stuff here.
Don't try to get rid of your accounts, computers, or anything else here. We're not craigslist. - Don’t justify or rationalize gaming.
This forum is for people who identify as gaming addicts, for whom gaming has become a self-destructive habit. We have justified our own gaming habits for far too long already. - No relationship or parenting advice.
StopGaming allows posts from partners and family members who are affected by the gaming behavior of their loved ones. However, this is not a relationship or parenting advice forum so please refrain from such discussion. Share your personal, relevant experience but do not give advice.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
