##Rules:

1. **Be kind or Get Yeeted.**  Keep the discussion civil and light, or your submission/comment will be removed. Don't instigate drama or troll. Don't be overly hostile or rude to other users.  Don't gatekeep. Every example listed in this rule is an immediately bannable offense without warning, but this is not an exhaustive list. Examples of content not allowed include but are not limited to: insults, hrassment, name calling, or trolling; abuse of the report button because you do not like a post, a rule, an OP, or a mod; 'Baiting' other users in to insults via trolling; Being overly negative, condescending, argumentative, or mocking; Slurs or insults of any kind; Politics.  At all.  (This is a video game sub, for crying out loud...)

2. **No Photos of Boxes/Unboxing, no Screenshots of Order/Ship Emails.**
You CAN show off your deck (any time)!! Please flair these posts as "Deck Flex," and try to make your post engaging for others. Show your deck in a unique setting, get creative with the photo, or add a funny/interesting caption.  *Remember:* Everyone is excited about their deck! But no one wants to see your confirmation email, shipping tracker, turned-off deck on a table, or a box literally ever.  But if you don't like this rule, please feel free to *suggest other ideas* rather than trolling the sub through harassing and ridiculous reports).  **Make it fun!** However, the mod team reserves the right to remove Deck Flex posts at their discretion or change this rule at any time.

3. **Posts must be about or related to the Steam Deck**  Posts must be on-topic and relevant to the Steam Deck (not just vaguely or tangentially related).

4. **No buying, selling, trading, begging, giveaways or crowd-funding.** We also do not allow non-reputable stores, auction sites and keyshops. If you want to hold a giveaway, please contact the mod-team first.

5. **No links/discussion of illegal, copyrighted or pirated content** Please do not discuss where to get, ask for, or share links to illegal, copyrighted or pirated content.  This includes discussion of "grey area" posts like ROMs and cracked software.  The *only* exception that will be made will be for abandonware.


6. **Keep self-promotion under 20% of your posts, and special rules for businesses selling accessories.**  Please ensure self-promotion is no more than 20% of your contributions. Your first post in the sub may not be self-promotional in nature.  Generic let's plays content is not allowed.  *For businesses selling accessories:* please contact the mod team before making a post otherwise your post will be removed. We will confirm our rules to you, which you'll need to accept to advertise at all here. Do note we require a minimum level of establishment, which is 10+ positive reviews/feedback within the last year as a seller, at the mod team's discretion.

7. **No impersonation, claiming to have "insider knowledge", or posting intentional misinformation.**  Please do not impersonate another entity, claim to have insider knowledge when you do not, or provide intentional misinformation.

8. **Posts related to FedEx / GLS, or shipping, must use the Shipping Megathread**  If your post is about shipping, FedEx, or GLS, you need to use the Shipping Megathread stickied at the top of the feed.

9. **Do not attempt to obfuscate your submission to bypass filtering** We implement a variety of different automated filters to ensure that the rules are enforced effectively and fairly. Please do not try to obfuscate your submissions to avoid filters.

10. **No Abusing the report button!!**  Please don't report posts just because you don't like them, that's what downvotes are for. Reports are for posts that break sub or Reddit's rules and need immediate mod attention, not just because "I don't like this post" or "I don't think this topic belongs here."  Reports are used to analyze sub content, tell mods if there are toxic users or posts that some may find insulting or offensive. Please don't indiscriminately report everything, use discretion and good judgement when reporting.  People being abusive in their report messages, reporting posts that do not even break the rules, or excessively reporting posts will be reported to Reddit admins, as this kind of behavior is against Reddit's ToS. 
 *If you want to see different content here, don't just complain and report everything, and do not harass and gatekeep everyone.  You could try posting content you would enjoy instead... just a thought.*
