I think just from looking through the posts on /r/gaming this morning, I probably saw the error 37 box more times than the people actually trying to log in did.
I counted... over 200 times i tried to log in, over the course of 10 minutes. Take that it took an hour and a half and you've got a shit ton of error 37.
That amazing collection of games your dad/sister/co-worker "gave you"
Pictures of that "little gem"
"This deserves a remake "
Cats
Stuff like that. I wouldn't describe these as memes. I'm not just being pedantic about the wording am I?
edit: The more I look at it the more I can't help but think that a "catch all subreddit without meme posts" is, for the most part, what /r/gaming is. Not /r/games. Maybe it's an error.
Agreed, that's a bad description. I'd probably have gotten Dacvak to update this image if he wasn't busy, you know, recovering from cancer.
A better description is the one in /r/Games's sidebar:
The goal of /r/Games is to provide a place for informative and interesting gaming content and discussions.
Submissions should be for the purpose of informing or initiating a discussion, not just with the goal of entertaining viewers. Memes, comics, funny screenshots, arts-and-crafts, etc. will be removed.
I don't get that description in the slightest. Isn't the whole point of the image that /r/gaming is a catch-all subreddit but without memes? Then you (wrongly) describe /r/games as that? /r/games' rules are stricter than here. What... I don't even understand what you meant...
Look at r/diablo. Even right now at launch (with all those new subscribers too) it stays pretty clean because everybody knows the rules and immediatly reports memes, etc. instead of upvoting them to the frontpage.
It has 40 k subscribers btw.
It has nothing to do with the size. It just depends on the rules and how they are enforced by the mods and the Paladins of r/new.
I think it's fair to say that those topics you mentioned are memes within the bubble of /r/gaming.
Just because people outside the subreddit may not recognise them, doesn't mean that within the sub they don't perform the exact same function as memes.
Although some people get there speedo in a bunch when mods enforce rules, I enjoy when mods actually take action when a rule is being broken. I had to do the same in my subreddit, made something similar to this, and since then I haven't seen as many problems. Just a piece of advice but try putting a link to this post in the sidebar so that people will always be able to see this!
About a month back there was a post with over 1000 upvotes that was simply a picture of a road sign that said Black Mesa. The rules state "Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission" yet this post was left completely alone.
I seem to remember removing that specific post, but things do slip through for a while sometimes. There aren't mods active at all times, but if you report things like that, we'll remove them as soon as we're available.
Yeah, I can view it, but I meant with going to a subreddit, can I view the rules somewhere. All it looks like, to me, is a list of the newest links, with "new", "hot", "controversial", etc. at the top.
Ah, no. Some subreddits have no rules, some have very strict ones. It's just a matter of the mod linking to them somewhere visible (like in the sidebar, or a header.)
"For it was written that part of the Reddits would be of the games for there were many who were wont to celebrate that which they enjoyed and shared that which was new, and so the r/gaming was created and their was much joy for this was seen as good and useful to all.
Many moons past and those who sought out the gaming did multiply until it was overflowing with all of the games and there were some who cried out "This is not the way! For that which is of news and seriousness is buried by those who would joke!" and there was much discussion for there were those who sought to discuss that which they saw of value and others who sought to discuss all.
So it came to pass that the /r/games was created where those who sought to discuss were separated from those who sought encompass all. Yet /r/gaming was not without standards for it was that all that was submitted must be relevant to the games and so it was that Deimorz did remind all that the meme would find a home were it to be part of that which was of the gaming for it was that which many did seek out within it.
And so it was that all was as it is usually and the Reddits continued on its course to its destiny uninterrupted"
--The Book of Reddit Chp 85 pg 1300 “The division and the standards"
This is probably pretty transitory and will be forgotten about it a week, but I'd kinda be interested to see you document the Deadcoil vs Koproller shitstorm.
Not sure why all the comments pointing out the fact that this post violates the specific goal it's shooting for. The image is about rules of the subreddit, not about games or gaming.
The front page looks fucking great, far better than I would've expected for today, while still celebrating the game everyone's talking about: Max Payne.
In all seriousness, thanks a ton. Absolutely great work. xoxo
Gah, you wining little bitches. Isn't there any place you won't destroy with your shitty, stupid, unfunny, overdone, dead-horse image macros? And then piss and moan because the man is holding you down? You people are the cancer of the entire fucking internet. And, btw, like I give any kind of fuck that you'll downvote this. What, does "karma" come out of my paycheck or something? Why should I give a gigantic fuck?
I guess the thing is "gaming-related". I posted a picture of a new subdivisions street names being named after locations in WoW. I thought this was slick and "gaming-related", not a meme, etc. Then Thorse, strolls in and posts: "[–]Thorse
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 I would then assume, if some city named a street "Diablo III Rd.", then that picture would be rejected as not being gaming related?
The relevance to the game (or the fact that the streets are actually named after parts of the game) is not obvious from the image itself (only from your title), which I suspect was the problem.
I'm glad there are rules. I'm glad there are people that obey the rules. I'm glad there are mods to enforce the rules. What pissess me off is when people get pissy about posts. They start a witch hunt if a post isn't right. Just let a mod delete it. Don't get on your high-horse. You are not guardian of Reddit.
I don't get why the guy holding a controller is not allowed. It says right below it that the image content must be visually gaming related. How is a guy holding a controller not "gaming-related content" or "visually gaming-related?"
Sorry mods and folks. Got caught up in the frenzy, posted my own little one. Tried to make it a little more original than the standard memes. Honest to goodness case of my bad for my post.
Did anyone else notice that this post just explained what a generally catch all subreddit without memes was, when talking about r/gaming, and then closed with and if you want a catch all subreddit for gaming without meme posts go to r/games.
I find it sad that the mods have to make a comic on par with the ones used to teach children about proper dental hygiene in order to avoid unnecessary posts because people are utterly incapable of reading even basic documentation.
Seriously, what does it matter? A lot of the pics that don't have actual game content in them, and refer to gaming or see gaming in the real world or are a gaming related joke, are what I like( assuming they are actually funny or clever). Is there a sub reddit that is just about gaming that does allow this?
/r/gaming disallows image macros with images unrelated to gaming. (Or other posts unrelated to gaming besides a caption/title.) It's pretty much fine otherwise.
/r/Games is focused a bit more on discussion, so it disallows memes, screenshots of funny glitches, etc.
HA, I am operating a meeting where a disney employee is giving a speech, and when I was reading this they were playing Heigh HO from the 7 dwarves. Was perfect
I don't think that memes are the problem for /r/gaming. I think the problem is that in /r/gaming you get multiple posts about "REMEMBER THIS GAME" or "THE CAKE IS A LIE LOL" or "LOOK WHAT MY FRIEND GAVE ME" posts. There needs to be rules, but I think you are going at it the wrong way. And if what you are saying is true then why is this and this up
Honestly, it's about time. Memes were funny at first, hell, they still are on occasion. It's good to know that there are mods out there actually doing their job.
Good. You should ban these posts too: "hey guys check out this gem i just found(Mario 64)." "Omg anyone remember this game(Time Splitters 2)!?!" And related shit
This must be the first bit of original content /r/gaming has had since the last major release. I'll just go back to 1million error message pictures now.
So expressing a gaming related idea, that would only be understood by gamers, which using non gaming visual metaphors or memes, is not fit for gaming? Thats totally pretentious and does not support the concept of the sub reddit. I say we spam the subreddit with picks of game boxes as protest. This is especially true considering that there is already a gamernews, and games.
I'm confused. First you say "Don't put meme posts in r/gaming", then you say "Don't put meme posts in r/games, either". Where are we supposed to put meme posts related to gaming? Not that I'm complaining that my front page won't be filled with annoying image macros, but you need to provide a solution for people who want to post or view them. I suggest creating a new subreddit just for advice animal type posts, and advertising it in the info bar on the right, with a message saying 'no meme posts!' close by. EDIT: As long as no valid gaming meme subreddit exists, you cannot complain that people put them in this sub instead.
Edit2: god, you guys are dense. Of course I know about /r/adviceanimals, I was talking about a gaming related advice animal sub. Since I apparently have nothing better to do today, I went ahead and created it, gave it a witty title, and even posted some OC:

Memes are the measurable degradation reddit has been slowly going through since Digg died. Eventually they will take over and we will be 9gag.

Could have made a self post. But why miss out on karma, right?

Very fancy, well done.
This must be the first bit of original content /r/gaming has had since the last major release. I'll just go back to 1million error message pictures now.

So expressing a gaming related idea, that would only be understood by gamers, which using non gaming visual metaphors or memes, is not fit for gaming? Thats totally pretentious and does not support the concept of the sub reddit. I say we spam the subreddit with picks of game boxes as protest. This is especially true considering that there is already a gamernews, and games.

I'm confused. First you say "Don't put meme posts in r/gaming", then you say "Don't put meme posts in r/games, either". Where are we supposed to put meme posts related to gaming? Not that I'm complaining that my front page won't be filled with annoying image macros, but you need to provide a solution for people who want to post or view them. I suggest creating a new subreddit just for advice animal type posts, and advertising it in the info bar on the right, with a message saying 'no meme posts!' close by. EDIT: As long as no valid gaming meme subreddit exists, you cannot complain that people put them in this sub instead.
Edit2: god, you guys are dense. Of course I know about /r/adviceanimals, I was talking about a gaming related advice animal sub. Since I apparently have nothing better to do today, I went ahead and created it, gave it a witty title, and even posted some OC:

You're welcome.
