If you respected the rules it wouldn’t have to be moderated.

Calling Rowling a terf is OK (you are stating the obvious in such case), telling another user to fuck off, or for specific group of people to die isn’t.


ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn’t made a comment in 2 years???

I was wondering if he was still here and sent him a message not long ago. Turn out he is, and just mostly lurks those days. Which means that I’m alone doing the moderation most of the time, but that also that you can still try. What do you have to loose? Time? Looking how much you posted on this thread you seem to have plenty of it, so why not try?

and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?

They do, and there were time we disagreed on some mod action. In such case we talk about it together, and try to reach a concensus. That’s how some of our rules exception came to be.

If you can’t handle calling out bigotry then you’re on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.

Ah. The good old false dilemma fallacy. Either I’m with you or against you. Did you ever consider that others have their own way to fight those idiots without having to resort to screams, rage and oversimplification?
This community was founded to provide a place were people can talk about games in a constructive way. If you wish to have a community of your own where you can do as you wish, be my guest, and go create it.


I have a life, I can’t just be 24/7 checking new reports, and I don’t know any mean to get notified when one is opened.

As for the value of my action, if you feel like my action isn’t legitimate, you can either contact the other mods or the Admins.

We do not wish to have trolls and toxic people in our community, so if you cannot stop yourself from spreading your toxicity everywhere, then go elsewhere, this is not the only gaming community around.



This arguments won’t go anywhere, except a flame war.

So please, both of you, kindly accept the disagreement, and move on.



Congratulations, you’ve earned it.

As always, @[email protected] got the mods express authorization to promote his game as soon as his post are not meme and he does not excessively promote his game (aka spam it). One or two post a month are fine, as long as they are not direct link to his game with the text being copy-pasted from the Steam page.

Anyone wanting to do the same can DM the mods.

Trackpad+buttons on the right, joystick+dpad on the left, maybe ? Sure you loose one trackpad and one joystick in the trade, but technically…

Note to the community :

This kind of content is allowed under the current rules as it does not promote the use of external cheat engines, not does it promote piracy.

Those informations are available elsewhere, sure, but isn’t, to my knowledge, an AI ripoff of another article.

In such case, no need to report the post. If you don’t like the content, feel free to downvote the post to hell.



I’m pretty sure the last part is not necessary. Fighting toxicity with more toxicity will only do harm to the community.


That a good thing you realize you are spreading unnecessary toxicity.

We all got shitty days, we all make mistakes, what important is to admit them and learn from them. Not even the community moderation is immune to that, I got some example in my own moderation history :D






Be careful of not putting plain hate for no reason at the same level than an overzealous minority advocating for rightful social changes.


Pepe wasn’t initially a racist meme, but was misappropriated by alt-righ groups. The author tried to fight it, but the damages were done. So the addition to the statistic by ADL is valid, but to be taken with the context it is in.

For reference :

I’d add to the cons that some of the teammates are inconsistent gameplay wise. Some gets fusion very early, other pretty late (Eugene if I recall it well). Their story are similarly inconsistent, with some quite well done, and others very bare.


For those who never tried it, it is an excellent “Monster Catcher” game with a lot of good ideas.


I had to check if it wasn’t april.

The Steam Deck OLED screen is already barely enough, I can’t see how they’ll manage on an even smaller screen.


That’s the idea, but only the community owner can change the sidebar.


Yup, in retrospect my brain kinda betrayed me here.

The update I’d like to see here is to explicitly allow gaming hardware related topic in rule 1, to avoid having an overworked mod go on a moderation spree.


Moderating isn’t as easy as it seem from the outside, and sometimes you can make mistakes, especially when tired. 😅



indeed. I was tired and used the French equivalent (“Message Privé”, thus MP). I should avoid moderating when tired next time


The rigid interpretation you can have when you are tired. But yeah, in this case I’m mistaken.


If I strictly apply rule 1, this should be removed. But at the same time, after talking with OP via PM, it is true that it is still kinda related to games.

For now I’m gonna keep it, but an update to the rules is needed, to better define and explain them.

Edit : After a night of sleep I have to admit I was mistaken here.

Still, I’ll talk with the other mods about better defining the rules, I feel like it is needed.


With my kinda rigid interpretation of Rule 1, this should be posted on an hardware community. [email protected] maybe ?

Edit : After a good night of sleep I have to admit I was too rigid here. I’ll be more lenient in the future about hardware related subject, when it has to do with gaming. I’d probably still remove a topic about the latest AMD CPU or similar, but games consoles and its peripherals are indeed related enough to games to be allowed.


I think that 2048 games are so overdone that many consider it spam. At least according to most reports.



For those who wonder, @[email protected] has my autorisation to promote his game, as long as he do not break the rules.

No need to report this post :

  • Rules 3 is not breached as long as OP do not spam the community. Promotion is allowed on this sub, as long as it does not become “excessive”.
  • Rule 4 is not breached as it is no meme content (anymore 😉 ), and it doesn’t fall under the “low effort” rule due to all the effort necessary to make such a game

In any case, congrats.


Giveaways could be tolerated if verified by a moderator first. There are a lot of scams involving game code giveaway, so to protect the community we opted for banning it until we find a reliable way to verify such codes beforehand.


It could fall under rule 4, but would require to be sure that it is indeed AI generated.
There are people that throws AI accusation around with no evidences other that a gut feeling, so I prefer to be cautious.


This was the first of his post to get reported. I don’t ban immediately unless it is obviously a bot trying to link to forbidden content.

I’ll ask you to refrain from throwing a random witch hunt on random posts just because you don’t like it. That would fall under rule 2 (harassement).

Il you feel like an user may be a bot, please report it to a mod so we can put said user under observation in order to access its behavior.



Congratulations. I’m gonna take a look later on my Deck.
