Be Nice

• Remember the human - treat your fellow redditors with respect, follow Reddit’s Terms of Service, and avoid trolling, console-warring, and generally toxic behaviour.

• Racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic comments and other forms of bigotry will not be tolerated and will lead to instant bans.

• Blatant scams, affiliate link spam or scalping attempts will not be tolerated and will lead to instant bans.

Questions and Support

• General questions, requests for game/hardware recommendations, and personal help or tech support requests are to be posted in the stickied Help & Questions Megathread, /r/Playstation community sub, or Discord.

Content Guidelines and Prohibited Topics

• Submissions should be of interest to the entire subreddit, and allow for all users to participate in good faith. Overly posted concepts or intentional reaction bait will be removed.

• Questions should be of general interest to facilitate discussion within the subreddit. If you have a specific question about a situation that applies only to you, please post in the Help and Questions Megathread.

• Buying/selling, posts pertaining to jailbreaking/hacking, key reseller links, or topics that violate the PSN terms of service are not permitted.

Reposts/Frequently posted

• Please do not post news, articles, and other content that have been posted previously. When submitting breaking news, please check /r/PS5/new to make sure it has not already been posted.

• Please search the subreddit before submitting a new post — frequently-posted topics may be removed.

Title Guidelines

• Please ensure your post title is clear, descriptive, and accurately represents the content of the post. Do not editorialise video or article descriptions.

• Please do not link to click-bait articles intended for reactions or affiliate link advertising.

Rehosted/Reblogged content

• Please link to primary sources whenever possible i.e. Sony/developers directly rather than rehosted media.

• Secondary reporting is acceptable if the original source requires elaboration for the layman (patent filings, investor reports, etc).

• If linking to a social media post, please link directly to the original post.

Spoilers

• This subreddit is considered globally spoiler-free unless otherwise indicated. Spoilers must be tagged; malicious spoilers will result in a ban.

Promotion

The 10% rule applies for posting.

• Constant posting of the sources that you are directly affiliated with (particularly news rehash blogs) is considered self-promotion spam and will result in a ban.

• This is not limited to your own content, you can be in violation of the rules by posting content you are not directly affiliated with. If you violate this rule repeatedly, you and the website/channel may be banned.

• This rules does not apply to official Sony or PlayStation media sources.

Official News

Creating posts that lead to official sources such as dev blogs or official channels.

• "Official" flair, means a post was made that links directly to a PlayStation website or channel.
• "News" flair, means a post was made that links directly to a games official website or channel.

• Latest Posts: News | Official

Media Posting

*By default, all media posting will be turned off to reduce the influx of memes, box pics and spam. *

• For posting of images, gifs or videos (directly or otherwise) we will only turn this method of posting on during special occasions. This includes events such as highly anticipated releases and conferences.

• Consider r/PlayStation for sharing general media content with the community.

Events

During events such as the State of Play, the subreddit will go on “restricted mode”.

• Creating new posts will be turned off. Only mods and approved users will be able to make new posts. Typically, there will be a pinned “info and discussion” thread linking to the individual threads created. The sub is usually on restricted mode roughly 30mins before the event is slated to start. The sub will be turned off restricted mode after all the threads are created and organized in the pinned thread.

• Additionally, during high traffic periods, particularly for State of Play or Showcase events, self posts will be restricted temporarily with discussion encouraged in the megathreads posted.
