A few days ago, we asked you what you like: memes or no memes. From this, the vast majority voted for a ban on posting memes. The most common argument was to guard the quality of the posts. This will therefore be enforced from now on. Are memes being posted? Please report them to the mods.
The memes currently posted on the community will remain.
From today, we are also introducing an additional rule: It is forbidden to hold give-aways. We as a mod team cannot verify if the give-away is real or if it is a scam. To ensure everyone’s safety, we have decided not to allow these posts either. If there is a need for this, we recommend creating a separate community for this.
We would like to thank everyone for the many votes and well-founded arguments in the discussion topic.
This is a bit of an off-topic nit pick, but for the sake of user clarity, especially as lemmy is still growing, I would like to ask you to refrain from referring to this community solely as c/games. This is because there are communities on other instances named games, and I’ve already seen a lot of recent refugees from reddit be confused about the nomenclature involved.
I understand lemmy.world is one of if not the largest instance, and I don’t expect people to be this precise in their casual conversation. But it would go a long way for clarity if official communications explicitly used the fediverse format of [email protected] at least once, so there can be no confusion for other active and growing communities dedicated to the same topic.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
