Proposed Rule Changes

Hey everyone, I'm looking to simplify the rules (cut out a lot of the redundant text), allow for additional content (like users promoting their own recruitment videos, etc), and clarify anything that needs clarification.

Let me know what you think. I'll leave this post up for at least a week for some discussion/revisions before actually updating the rules.

Proposed text to be removed is ~~striked out~~.
Proposed additions are in bold.
Altered text is italicized.
Inline comments are in code blocks

Other comments are quotes

Rules

1. ~~Submitted content must be related to Star Citizen.~~ ’redundant with the next sentence All c/starcitizen content must be related to Star Citizen. Content with an indirect relationship ~~must be a text/self post and~~ must attempt to provide meaningful discussion of Star Citizen.

I don't see why content with an indirect relationship needs to be limited to a text/self post, if anyone sees a good reason for this we can leave it in. If it becomes a problem in the future we can always add it back in.

2. Be respectful. No personal insults/bashing. Don’t be a dick. ~~Treat others with respect~~ ’redundant text, falls under "Be respectful" ~~and refrain from name calling/insults.~~ ’redundant, falls under "No personal insults/bashing"

3. Follow these posting restrictions:

• No Grey Market Trading
  • Trading items using in-game currency is fine, but no trading hangar items (ships, game packages, etc.) using real world currency.

  clarifying this rule.

• ~~No recruitment posts~~

Not enough content here for this to be a problem, we can always place frequency limits, only allow it on weekends, or create a new community for it.`

• No blog spam, stream spam, or re-hosted content
  • Posting your own content is welcome, the frequency of posting should not be excessive

clarifying this rule.

• ~~Memes (and similar content) must feature content directly related to Star Citizen~~

falls under Rule 1.

• No Cheat Accusations
  • Posting about someone cheating is okay as long as any identifying information or username is removed/obscured.

• Do not post or advertise your Referral Code for Star Citizen. Use the referral code randomizer (link).

There are a few options here. The current link leads to: https://screferral.space/ but we can also link to https://gorefer.me/randomizer/STAR I'm fine with leaving it as is, having multiple options, or changing it. I'm just curious if the community has an opinion one way or another.

• ~~No Cryptocurrency/NFT discussion.~~

redundant rule, falls under rule 1.

• ~~Don’t intentionally be disruptive.~~

redundant rule, falls under Rule 1.
- When posting video links, please include a short description in the post, titles aren't always descriptive enough
