Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

And the very features that makes forums desirable require good moderation, while on Discord a toxic community can be left mostly unmoderated due to the semi closed and transient (in appearance) nature of the chat. Having the same on a (google) searchable forum that make it easy for people to find and see the toxic content would pretty soon result in demands for better moderation.
I find it sad that this is the reality we live in, but from a business perspective I can kind of understand it as the target audience of these gaming websites can be quite toxic.
They banned nwordbot 😿 . Now who will check the chuds?
