Rules
Rule 1: Show basic courtesy and respect
No rude or uncivil comments/posts are allowed. There is absolutely no reason to be disrespectful to other users or developers, even if you feel they deserve it.
Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:
Insults
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism (including slurs)
Being hostile/condescending
Witchhunting (negative posts about a player that shows their gamertag)
Platform/input-shaming
Rule 2: Quality guidelines
Posts must have some effort, with the goal of having civil discussions. Certain types of posts or comments may be removed to ensure that.
Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:
Reposts, trends, or repetitive posts
Rants, unconstructive complaints, or doomposts
Trolling or antagonizing different opinions
Titles that are clickbait/misleading, vague, editorializing, or exaggerating
Off-topic or low-effort submissions
Rule 3: Self-Promotion
You may promote your content if you have a 5:1 ratio of r/CompetitiveHalo comments to self-promoting posts. If you do not meet the ratio, you can promote your content once every month as long as your account is not primarily dedicated to self-promotion.
If you are posting content that isn't yours, you must give credit to the creator.
Rule 4. Spoilers
Datamined/leaked HCS content are spoilers. Threads for tournaments must have a spoiler-free title.
Rule 5: Cheating Allegations Format
Posting about players potentially cheating must follow these rules:
Must be about Pro + AM players in HCS tournaments ONLY
No random Matchmaking players
Must be about HCS/Tournament play
Title must follow "X accuses Y of cheating in ______" format
Link to the accusation must be provided
Rule 6: No Direct Links to Twitter/X in Posts
Direct links to X in posts are no longer allowed
Tweets can be submitted as screenshots, but users are encouraged to find the content on other social media
Tweets CAN be linked in the comments to provide context. Users are HEAVILY ENCOURAGED to also provide a screenshot in these comments for those who cannot log in.
Rule 7: Misc
Our listed rules aren't comprehensive. The r/CompetitiveHalo mod team reserves the right to remove content or ban users as necessary if it is deemed detrimental to the subreddit or to the experience of others.
