Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

So jerking about Valve and Gaben is OK but talking about the jerkers is not OK? IIRC ranting about some DJ concert was on the frontpage few days ago. This subreddit is going total clusterfuck

[–]alextansden 0 points1 point ago

"Going" total clusterfuck implies that /r/gaming isn't already an unmoderated clusterfuck. A great majority of the posts that make it to the front page don't meet the subreddit's posting requirements and the rest are usually Gaben/IHateEA/DAERemember/[fixed][fixed][fixed] circlejerks.

How does something get to the front page? Upvotes right? How does something stay off the front page? Downvotes right? People usually downvote when they don't like something and upvote when they like it. So if it is on the front page and has more upvotes than downvotes, what does that tell you? I'm not a rocket veterinarian or anything but I can easily tell that, that means the majority of the subreddit likes that post. We have a public moderating system consisting of a board made up of redditors and when something gets posted we all take a vote and when the majority vote approves, the item makes it to the front page and when the majority vote disapproves, it doesn't make it to the front page. If the majority of the subreddit likes the thing that OP posted then maybe the "bio" of /r/gaming needs to be changed. Maybe the problem is that the statement that "pastanat" copy and pasted needs to be put under Submission Rules or Posting Rules instead of its current area so that people will know not to post it. Again I'm not a rocket gynecologist, but from what I can tell the moderators are just here to keep out the spammers and keep out the posts of illegal and straight up stupid shit.

The submission itself is not related to gaming other than through the title.

[–]V2Blast[M] -1 points0 points ago

Correct.

Wow what an original gif! You reposting loser!

[–]pikachuuuuu 0 points1 point ago

Every comment you've made is just bitching at people for reposting...do you not have anything better to do with your time?

[–]R3POST 1 point2 points ago

This is the account I use to let people know they're reposting.

[–]pikachuuuuu 1 point2 points ago

Oh wow, I didn't realise that.

If people are reposting they either don't realise it (and probably don't care to do anything about it) or don't care so what good is pointing it out? As I asked, do you not have anything better to do with your time?

I think he's trying to be funny.
