##Rules Clarifications Page


- [Rules Clarification Page](https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/wiki/rules) - This page has a thorough write up of each of our subreddit's rules with explanations and more to keep in mind. 

- Reposts will also be removed or consolidated together to avoid cluttering, in most cases.

- If your post disappears, please [contact the moderators in modmail](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FJRPG) to see if it got caught in the spam filter or for other questions or concerns.

---
##Read the Rules Before Posting
(**Hover your mouse over a rule to read the full description**)
 
###Rule 1. No excessive promotion or self-promotion

- We only allow promoting content (yours or someone else’s) if you have been actively participating in the last 2 months before the post with worthwhile comment on other users' threads, and limit yourself to 1 per 7 days.
- Let’s play/stream posts are not allowed.
- **If you are a developer, follow the next rule instead**
- Users who don't fulfill this requirement may use the Weekly Media Thread.

###Rule 2. Developer/publisher posts

- If you are a developer or publisher occasionally sharing a notable new about your game (announcement, release, AMA, etc.) you can post it; but excessively posting about the same project or only sharing minor updates about it is subject to removal.
- It must be a text post with a proper description about the game and include any necessary official links.
- If you are unsure if your post will be allowed or not, please contact the mod team via modmail. You can also use the Weekly Media Thread.

###Rule 3. No untagged spoilers

- Use spoiler tags if needed (important events/twists/bosses/etc).

- Posts tagged as Spoiler that do not say the game name(s) in the title must still use spoiler tags in the body of the post.

- Comments containing spoilers must specify the game being spoiled outside of the hidden spoiler text.

- To tag, use the "!" button on New Reddit, or use >! and !< marks like:

        >!X kills Y!<

- (Do not put a "space" next to the "!" mark as it breaks on Old Reddit.)

- This appears as >!X kills Y!<, for example.

###Rule 4. No off-topic posts

- Content should be related to Japanese Role Playing Video Games. Unrelated content will be removed.

- The only exception are news and discussion posts about sequels, spin-offs or other media that isn’t JRPG but whose story is directly related to a JRPG, but only to discuss about their story in relation to the JRPG (e.g.: news about an anime adaptation or a sequel that isn’t a JRPG but continues the story is allowed, but not gameplay questions or a character being added to a crossover title).

###Rule 5. Rules for game recommendation type posts

- Posts asking for games must include a description with at least 300 characters (letters, not words). They also must list the desired platform, past played/enjoyed games, and desired aspects (combat style, subgenre, setting...).
- Common requests (e.g.: “best game in X console”, “games with female protagonist”, “mature JRPGs”, “turn-based games”) should go in /r/gamingsuggestions or our weekly suggestion thread. Check out our wiki for lists of common recommendations.

###Rule 6. No low-effort posts

- No low-effort threads (one line questions, one poll, one image, etc.) without proper context/elaboration. This includes memes & funny videos. You can resubmit as a text post with the image, poll, etc. and proper details/context to elaborate on it or use the Weekly threads.

- Common questions (e.g.: "which game in X series should I play first?", "how many games are there in X series?") should be posted in the dedicated weekly thread. 

- Buying/selling threads can go to r/GameSale.

- Asking "**What is a JRPG**" or some variation of this question.

###Rule 7. Be civil and don't use personal attacks against other redditors.

- Be civil. Personal attacks, insults, harassment or such behavior to other users is not tolerated. 

- Follow Reddit's Official Content Policy, esp. Rule 1: Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

###Rule 8. Only notable news for gacha/mobile/MMO games

- News about gacha/mobile/MMO games should be limited to major updates (for example: the announcement or release of a new game or an expansion). Minor updates (for example: a minor patch, the release of a new character or a seasonal event) should be posted in r/gachagaming, r/mobilegaming or the specific game subreddit.

- Discussion about these kind of games is allowed.
