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.

Eh I thought it was amusing, plus you never know what was actually happening here. I have been to multiple Sea World shows and the trainers often are in and out of the water while the whales are jumping, nothing horrid, just the show.

Amusing or not, it violates the rules, see the sidebar?

Umm yeah, he tied it into gaming, I still dont see the issue. You are not a mod, chill lol. Its reddit, and amusing, relax. =)

[–]Thorse 0 points1 point ago

He tied it to gaming via text. And you're right, I'm not a mod. Just some guy trying to keep the post quality not shit. This is on the fence, but if this is ok but it's that attitude that shat up this place over the years. Last night I saw some guy take the S out of a STAIRS sign and just put in an AL at the front so it said ALTAIRS. That was it. Shit like that doesn't need to be posted. This belongs on r/pokemon or r/funny, not here.

All I am going to say is calm yourself my friend. There are over a million subscribers to r/gaming so you can not police them all. Enjoy the good ones, ignore the bad. It will be ok =)

That's where I choose to disagree. I'm trying to police them all and it's slowly working. The posts in NEW are slowing down. There are fewer and fewer bad posts and people who just look and move on are downvoting the ones they don't like. The silent majority are finally starting to voice their opinions. We are slowly dragging this subreddit back from its circlejerking memetic hole back to where it was. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than this.
