- Ensure screenshots are easily understood: The “clarity rule”—it can sometimes be difficult to identify what you’re trying to share in a screenshot, especially for newer players. This should be made clear in the post title, in the linked content itself (like circling in the screenshot), or as a comment.
- A post will be re-approved if a removed screenshot is later clarified via a comment by the poster.
- Fanworks: * a) When posting content including discovered, commissioned, or other types of non-original content (non-OC) fanworks, the author/artist must be credited with their name(s) in the post title. * b) Art re-hosted against the permission of the artist may also be removed at the discretion of the moderators. * c) Art posts that advertise for profit within the Reddit post are prohibited. E.g. Links to Patreon, ko-fi, web stores, pricing information.

Posters must be active on Reddit outside of their own content. * b) Blogspam about content (esp. FFXIV news, patch notes, interviews); original sources should be linked instead. * c) URL shorteners & referral/affiliate links, which are blocked by reddit.com filters and subject to removal. * d) Other content reasonably judged as spam.
- Search before posting: Duplicate posts made within a short time frame dilute community discussion across multiple posts. Reposts are generally acceptable given enough time has passed.

- When speculating or making assumptions, make it clear that what you are posting is not a fact.
- Giveaways: Giveaways must be conducted on the basis that there are 'no strings attached'. This applies to both physical and digital goods.
- This means the people who enter the giveaway **must not** be required to follow/subscribe/share content on social media/media platforms, pay a fee, use a Recruit-a-Friend code, etc. Exemptions may be given by the moderation team for official giveaways and giveaways for donations to charitable organizations such as Extra Life or Child's Play on a case by case basis.
- Incorrect post flair: Select "Incorrect post flair" when reporting a post to inform the moderation team about a post with an incorrect post flair. The poster should adjust the link flair as needed, but the moderator team can as well if necessary.
