Hey everyone. Just a quick update regarding our submission guidelines: rule #2 has been added and we'd appreciate it if you took a look. For your convenience, I will paste the subreddit submission rules below.

All of these rules apply when making a new submission and when commenting, and are heavily enforced. Many of these rules also apply to the in-game RedditChat channel. Bend them at your own peril.

1. We do not support hatred, racism, or bigotry. Keep it out of r/STO.

2. Do not create topics or comment threads discussing game exploits, loopholes, or other unintended game design. If you've discovered an exploit or other unintended design, please submit a bug report in-game by typing "/bugs" in chat and create a bug report on the official PWE bug reporting forum.

3. Listen to and respect the moderators. If you feel you have been mistreated by a moderator, discreetly send /u/driscoll42 a personal Reddit mail (not a mod mail).

4. Before making a new thread, search for one that is already on the same topic. Seeing new threads with nothing but an old suggestion in it is disheartening.

5. Make your posts meaningful; posts with just one word, an emoticon, a "reaction image", or chain puns will be likely be deleted without warning.

6. Do not try to evade bans or post on behalf of someone who's been banned.

7. Do not start a flame war. If there is a flame war going on, don't get involved.

8. Do not troll. Friendly banter is okay, but malicious verbal attacks, "gaming" users, and other similar shenanigans are not. If you feel that someone is trolling, please use the 'Report' button below the comment or link in question.

Some of these offenses are bannable without warning at the discretion of the moderators.

These rules may go through minor changes as time goes on, and any major updates to these rules will be followed by a self post like this one. You can always find the submission rules and other helpful resources in the wiki.
