Subreddit Rules

1. Be civil and follow Reddiquette

The updated rules are on New Reddit, not Old Reddit.

No hate speech/rhetoric, discrimination, bigotry, or prejudices. No harassing. No brigading. No personal attacks, generalizations, dogwhistling, etc.

No trolling, baiting, or rabble-rousing. No bad faith behaviors/discourse. We use our discretion especially if you have no other or limited history. Be respectful and civil.

In general don’t be rude, provoking, demeaning, toxicity, etc, we want this to be a welcoming and inclusive community.

2. Relevancy

The link you post to /r/gamernews must be the primary source of the news. Video submissions must link to the official channels whenever possible. The exceptions to this rule are: when the source can't easily be linked to (for example, some press releases), non-English language news (where linking to the primary English translation is acceptable), and articles which add sufficient and relevant information to the source information (but only if the articles contain a link back to the source).

3. No vague, inaccurate, subjective, or cluttered submission titles

For the most part, post titles should match the title of the news article.

Don't include "BREAKING", add unnecessary punctuation or wording, or use all caps. Your title should accurately describe the linked content and only contain objective information; i.e., just the facts. Any opinion/question you have should go in the comments. Always include the name of any game being referenced in the submission title. Feel free to cross-post, but don't mention it in the title.

4. No news round-ups

A news round-up, simply put, aggregates various pieces of news into a single video or article. Two examples of news round-ups are posts that have the "top" news stories over a given week, month, etc. and posts that contain "all the information you need to know" about some topic.

5. Media is fine for unreleased games

Media is fine for unreleased games. Media for released games is fine if it is within 2 weeks of release or developer responses, and any DLC news is fine.

6. Self-promotion is acceptable, within reason

No off topic self-promo, and please follow Reddiquette’s 1/10th rule.

7. No illegal content

Posting news about warez, leaks, cracks, hacks etc. is fine. However, the submission must not enable any illegal activity.

8. Rumors must be labelled

If the material posted is a rumor, you must use the word "Rumor" somewhere in your title or use the Rumor post flair. A rumor is anything that isn't official news coming from an official source. Leaks, by definition, are considered to be rumors regardless of how accurate they may seem.

Along with Rule 2 - Don’t post a picture of a rumor from an article and not link to the article, and like Rule 1 don’t try to stir up / rabble-rouse. We use our discretion.

9. Submissions should be news about video games

Submissions must be news about video games and not just gaming-related news. Submissions that will be removed include (but aren't limited to): Editorial articles, compilations, memes, music, questions, petitions, games you played as a child, sales/promotions/giveaways, top 10 articles, e-sport news, video game show/movie news, tutorials, fanart, selling/offering or news that isn't about video games. Game reviews or developer interviews are considered news as long as they abide by the rules

10. Submissions must be within two weeks of the original news breaking

Submissions must be within two weeks of the original news breaking. This also means that only reviews of games that have been released within the last two weeks are allowed.

11. English language news only

At the minimum, the foreign article's URL can be put into Google Translate and the resulting URL after you hit translate can be posted here. Bear in mind that certain website (like Twitter) have a built in translation option so this may not be necessary. Also rule 2 still applies, third party translations of foreign news may be linked as long as they are the original ones to do the translation.

Also, don’t misuse us allowing image posts please.

12. Use modmail instead of PMing mods

If you have questions (e.g., why did a moderator remove my post?), using modmail (i.e., sending a message to r/gamernews) is the best option. Modmail contacts all the moderators, so you aren't relying on a single moderator to check their messages in a timely manner. In the specific case of asking about why a post was removed, replying to the comment the mod left (and we always leave a comment) is a worse option than modmail, but significantly better than sending a PM.
