Rules Clarifications Page

• Rules Clarification Page - 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 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.
