##Rules

# 1. The Golden Rule
This subreddit is meant to be a comfortable environment to bond over all things Metroid. **Don't be mean, hurtful, or vulgar towards your fellow redditor**; *be excellent to each other*. **Do not** harass, or intentionally troll each other. We encourage all members to engage in thoughtful discussion, and to avoid partaking in echo chambers. *Participating in flame wars will see action taken at moderator discretion*.

# 2. Submissions must directly pertain to Metroid
Our community is dedicated to all things Metroid; *make sure your submissions follow suit*. Stay on topic and avoid using vague references in your submission or title. *Any content not directly related to Metroid will be removed*. A cute title or text over an image is **not enough to be considered relevant.** Neither are look-alikes that are otherwise unrelated. Keep your submissions on point.

# 3. No low-effort posts
Do not post submissions or comments with little to no effort. This includes, but is not limited to:

* Redundant/reposted content
* Intentionally misleading or click-bait titles
* Poor context in the title ("MFW Ridley dies", "I'm stuck help plz!")
* Nondescriptive media
* Posts that are easily searchable ("I'm stuck in Green Brinstar")
* Straw polls
* Threads dedicated to ranting
* Screenshots with little context that generate poor discussion ("just beat ZM!!")
* Low quality images
* Tierlists

# 4. All artwork requires attribution
It's our belief that *all* artists should get the credit they deserve. When posting someone else's artwork, *include name attribution in the title* and, if possible, a link to the original source in the replies. *Failing to provide attribution will result in your submission being removed*.

As a result of this requirement, **AI-generated artwork is also banned**, as it's impossible to provide attribution to the artists whose art was used to train the model.

# 5. Don't share emulators or ROMs
Discussion of emulation and hacks is allowed, *but keep it simply at that*. Sharing or asking for roms or emulators **will get you banned**, *as will advocating for piracy in general.* Please do not give specific information on ROM manipulation, patching, etc. If you must know how, a Google search will be sufficient.

# 6. Tag any and all spoilers
Tag *all* spoilers using the following formatting without spaces: > ! This is a spoiler. ! < 

For example: 

>!Metroid is inspired by Alien.!<

>!Ridley dies at the end.!<

>!Other M is a video game.!<

New Metroid games tend to be far and few between. *Don't ruin the surprises they may have for others*.

# 7. No NSFW content
Pornography and R34 content is **not** permitted and will result in a permaban. Content that is more lurid than typical in-game imagery but does not fall into the prior categories **must** be NSFW tagged, but is otherwise permitted. The line for this rule is drawn *well* before nudity - you're on a Nintendo game subreddit, so please keep your content on point.

# 8. Limit self-promotion
Don't spam the subreddit with your media. Self-promotion should require careful consideration as well as being consistently well recieved by others within the community. Limit let's plays to a single episode or speedruns to once in a while. Links to your own content should account for about **10% of your total combined submissions and comments,** *not including comments on your own submissions*. 

# 9. Armorless cosplay must be both OC and posted in moderation
**Any cosplay without armor must be OC!** Please refer to Rule 8 and post in moderation. *Excessive amounts of submissions will be removed and action handled at moderator discretion*. 

# 10. Rule of Moderator Discretion
The r/Metroid moderators reserve the right to remove content or ban users as necessary if it ruins the experience of others. Any content that lowers the subreddit experience *can and will be removed*. Being ignorant of the rules nor disagreeing with them is not an excuse. *Breaking the rules in response to someone else* ***also*** *breaking the rules is inexcusable.*

# 11. Leak/Rumor Discussion
The Metroid community is prone to numerous fake leaks and rumors. To prevent the spread of misinformation and potential spoilers while still allowing open discussion, *leaks and rumors* **must** *be discussed in dedicated megathreads* posted by the r/Metroid moderators. *Posts pertaining to leaks or rumors outside of these megathreads will be removed.*
