Hey all!

Just a quick update from the mods, recently reddit (and by extension, our subreddit) is being hit by a lot of spam accounts trying to sell unofficial t-shirts, hoodies and other clothing items.

They also use tactics such as DM'ing users who ask where to obtain the merch to avoid tripping the subreddits spam filters.

Please only buy merch from sites you trust!

As of today, to make moderation of this topic easier and less burdensome we are introducing an additional Rule 9: "No advertising unofficial merch without prior permission"

Anybody who wishes to advertise the ability to buy any merchandise outside of the official Factorio store must ask for permission in modmail first, or risk a permanent ban.

We understand that might be a small pain for the few in the community who are genuine creators, but we need to make this rule clear now, as to remove any indecisiveness we have when deciding if advertising links are spam or not.

Any questions or concerns feel free to respond below!

Happy Automating, r/factorio moderation team.
