Welcome, r/nba refugees. This is a subreddit for serious basketball discussion. We are still setting up the subreddit.

#General Rules

**Keep it civil.** Do not insult other users. Do not name call, condescend, or belittle others. Please do not refer mockingly to /r/nba and its users. Speak with others how you would like to be spoken with.

**Submit high quality content.** This subreddit is for high quality discussion of the NBA, past, present, and near future. Low effort content, including jokes, memes, fanbase attacks, or shitposts will be removed as the moderators see fit.

**This is a discussion subreddit.** Support claims with substantiated arguments. Proofs from trusted NBA reporters, databases (e.g. Basketball Reference), and your own statistical analyses should be provided when it strengthens your point. Unless it is undeniable fact, the burden of proof falls upon the person making the claim.

**Vote** based on whether the post or comment appears to meet the standards for quality you expect from a discussion subreddit. Don't downvote just because you disagree.

**No spam.** This includes your youtube video, website, blog, or twitter.

#Comment Rules

**Attack the argument, not the person.** Politely disagree when appropriate. Accept and acknowledge if you cannot maintain your original argument.

**Most arguments cannot be deconstructed in one sentence.** For top-level comments, your comment must be at least 150 characters. All other comments must be at least 30 characters.

#Submission Rules

**Present descriptive, clear, and concise titles.** Asking a well-defined question is a good way to start.

**Present your own argument.** A leading question can be effective, but if you wish to discuss a stance, make it clear where you stand so commenters can address that directly.

**Posts essentially equivalent to “Thoughts?” or “Discuss”** are low effort and those posts will be removed.

**Post enough content to provide a jumping-off point.** The minimum number of characters needed for a post to not be filtered is 300 characters.

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to [contact us via modmail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/NBATalk).

Please report content that breaks the rules. We check every one, whether it seems like we do or not.
