Sub for any gaming related content!

Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Thanks Reddit. I'll continue to not provide any content since I shredded everything pre-enshitification. (sh.itjust.works)

This just makes me angry. You need to write comments and get likes before you’re able to make posts. Most of the posts in that community could pass as boomer-Facebook-posts from what I’ve seen. The quality definitely went more downhill than Tony Hawk‘s Downhill Jam.

But I’ll post my question here: what’s your pre-apocalypse game gems?

But doesn’t this imply that Reddit itself would have to do something to prevent spamming those subreddits full of slurry?

I don't think so, no. Sure, Reddit made these controls available to mods, but the mods can decide to use them as they see fit.

Frankly, I don't think it's a bad rule. For a sub that big, they need pretty strict controls before a new user can post. Otherwise, they'd get flooded with spam.

If I sort by new, 2 of 3 most current posts are definitely below the quality of my post.

This might be due to me being drunk AF right now but I think my reading still works

Yeah, which means that you'd be able to build up the karma you need quickly.

Someone driving a car the day before getting their first license could be a better driver than some people who've had theirs for years! Lol
