MEDAL TALLY

RULES

• Every post must contribute to the discussion of the Olympics

• We do not care about how tenuous the connection is other than the below.

• No threats, personal invective, or personal insults.
• No slurs based on race, sex, religion, or gender.
• No slapfighting.
• No bashing athletes or teams on the basis of national origin or identity (but criticising National Organising Committees suspected of perfidy is fair game).
• You are in r/Olympics. Baron de Coubertin founded the Olympic movement in an effort to foster goodwill between nations. We expect you to embrace that, the Olympic spirit.

• We recognise that there are terrible conflicts raging about the globe right now.
  
• There are better places on Reddit to talk about them.
• Do not let politics, geopolitics, international relations, or past civil wars and so forth enter the conversation unless they directly impact the Games.
• For example, posts about Paris and COJOP's preparedness for the Games are fair game.
• Please remember that the athletes had nothing to do with what their governments are doing now.

• We have been overwhelmed in the past by readers arguing politics at the expense of those who want to talk about the Games.
• We simply cannot and will not allow this to happen anymore.
• There will be no warnings and we will have a very short trigger.
• Do not engage the trolls. We will get rid of them as soon as we see them.

• Once a conversation has been established and is gaining traction, avoid submitting any superfluous or duplicate posts, which will be removed at our discretion.
• We do not want to discourage you from making a related post if your submission has an alternate angle, a fresh take, or a contrarian message. A "related" post is different from a "duplicate" post.
• Ask yourself this: "Do I have something new to say or show, or do I just want the sweet, sweet karma?"

• However, .gif posts of video taken directly from Olympic events are welcome.
  
• If you post a standalone picture of an Olympian without any context or story, you have just submitted a low-effort post.

• For submissions specifically about the attractiveness of individual athletes, please visit our friends at /r/Ohlympics.
• Wardrobe malfunctions are sometimes excepted.

• There will be a stickied post in which you can complain about your broadcaster and tell everyone how much better somebody else's is, but unless Savannah Guthrie narrates the Parade of Nations after asking Mike Tirico on-air how many quaaludes constitute an overdose, no individual posts complaining about your television network are otherwise allowed.

• Sports journalists in most countries sort the medal tally by total golds, but the practise in the United States is to sort by total medals. It has been this way for quite some time. The IOC and the Associated Press take no position on the difference. Ours should be set so that you can sort by personal preference. Quit bitching about it. If you simply cannot take it and need to vent, use the stickied broadcaster post.
• Please remember that no country "wins" the Olympics: it is the athletes who win.
