Good evening Keepers,

The mod team has reviewed the sub activity recently, and here are the issues we would like to outline, and how we intend to address them.

Videos

It is probably no surprise to anyone that there's a number of low-effort videos floating around. The definition of low effort videos is videos that are not descriptive, not helpful, not entertaining, and otherwise low effort content in one way or another. They have been popping up quite recently as well, and so the mod team has come up with some solutions to tackle them:

1. Videos must be descriptive

We are not limiting users to posting videos, but we ask that users include a description to their video - either in the form of posting the video link in a self-text post, or if you post it as a link, to include a descriptively written comment about what the video is about. These are mainly targeted at videos of long/difficult boss fights, as they can be quite long-winded without any description. We believe that you should make it fair for your user to know what to expect from your video.

2. Users are required to have at least 50 comment karma before posting videos

This check was included to ensure that people who post videos are actual contributor to the sub, and are not just looking to dump their videos onto our sub for the purpose of growing their channel, or racking up view counts. We don't limit you to post your video content, but you should at least give back to the community if you want the community to do something for you.

Self-promotion content

Somewhat related to the above point about videos. Please refrain from advertising a paid service on our sub. It goes without saying that this goes against the rule of Reddit itself.

Post Titles and Language

This is a very minor issue, but we ask that users keep their post titles to only English or Japanese. The community here are mainly English speaking players, and so it makes no sense to include languages that exclude the user base (i.e. Italian, Spanish, etc.). We are allowing Japanese for the sole purpose of allowing easier communication for the JP players.

Backseat Modding

Otherwise known as mini-modding. This isn't very apparent behaviour, but we have seen some users who have decided to tell off other users by telling them to post in megathreads and stuff. We would like to remind users that deletion of posts is up to the sole discretion of the moderation team. If you feel that a post should not be allowed, please use the report feature or use the modmail feature to grab the attention of a moderator, but please do not take things into your own hands, and tell other users what to do. We will be actively removing comments that exhibit backseat modding, as well as issuing bans in the case of repeat offenders.

Backseat modding serves no purpose except causing a flame war that devolves into name calling and generally useless discussions.

Thank you for your time and attention. Happy Record Keeping everyone!
