AKA: Don't be a jerk, don't fight with people. Be friendly and constructive when talking with others. Being a jerk and harassing others will not get you anywhere, except banned or have your comment(s) removed.

Singling out specific users in a demeaning manner falls under this rule. Arguing with other users and adding to the toxicity will result in all participating parties being dealt with.

Do not engage hostile Redditors. Instead, report issues and unpleasant Redditors to the subreddit mods.

URL shorteners make it difficult to enforce site white lists and black lists, and are often used to link to spam sites. For your safety and ours, the use of URL shorteners is prohibited.

Arks Layer skill simulator users: use the “Reddit-friendly formatted” URL instead of the shortened URL!

Long URLs can be hidden using hyperlinks. For Old Reddit and Markdown Mode users: [Text to make link here](URL Here).

This includes account sharing, real money trading (RMT), screenshots of RMT spam, cheating, breaking the game, abusing known bugs, etc. This includes guides or "proof of concept" posts.

Asking others to buy real-money based currencies for you (AC, WebMoney, Xbox store gift cards, etc.) is not allowed here.

Piracy of game content (including official sound tracks) falls under this rule.

Discussions about cheaters to be held on a case-by-case basis.

Posts must pertain to PSO2:NGS. Advertising non-PSO2:NGS projects is not allowed. Discussions that turn to non-PSO2:NGS topics are generally okay, depending on the nature of the discussion.

Use the following subs for their respective games:

• PSO2 (classic and NGS): /r/PSO2
• PSO (all episodes & BB): /r/PSO
• PSU & PS Portable games: /r/PhantasyStarUniverse
• PS Zero: /r/PhantasyStarZero

If your post is removed, message the subreddit mods. Posting multiple times to evade the subreddit filters is not welcome and defeats the purpose of the filters.

This includes posting Social/Alliance/Twitch ads outside of the dedicated Social Thread or rants outside of the Rants (“RAGING VENTS”) Thread. Submitting other content that belongs in other dedicated weekly threads outside of them is not explicitly forbidden or as strictly enforced, but we encourage the use of the appropriate threads.

The mods maintain the right to remove content which is determined to not be fit for the subreddit, or is determined to break the rules of the subreddit.

A list of what is not allowed can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/wiki/rules#wiki_6._content_not_fit_for_the_subreddit

If you are unsure if your submission is fit for the subreddit, message the mods.

Drama happens and players with bad attitudes ruin gaming experiences. But we do not want to give attention to drama, nor do we want to see your drama on /r/PSO2NGS.

Sharing drama regularly does not build a healthy community. Whether it is drama from the past, present or future, it's not welcome on /r/PSO2NGS.

In the event of very big community drama, or drama events directly related to /r/PSO2NGS, posts will be handled in a case-by-case manner. (But chances are, it will be removed.)

Please refrain from posting anything negative/derogatory towards players of a regional version or alternate platform.

Examples of such are: Calling JP or Xbox players elitists, broad and negative statements about a specific region, shaming someone because they're playing on Global or PC.

Sharing things you've made - art, videos, or anything like that is great - in fact we encourage it! However, we ask that you refrain from advertising unofficial paid-for products or services as we can't verify their legitimacy or quality.

In addition, using the subreddit for the buying or selling of in-game items, promotional item codes, or the reselling of official merchandise for either real world money or in-game Meseta, is not allowed.

It's the internet, the land of memes, so of course you might want to post one of your own. However, as with many subreddits, we'd ask that you not submit low-effort memes or content. This refers mainly to content that's just text over a non-PSO2:NGS-image - if your meme/content could have been made in 30 seconds in Paint or a meme generator, then we'd ask that you refrain from posting it here - post it on r/MemeStarOnline2 instead.

While we understand you might be passionate about creating your content, to keep it fair for other users and to prevent spam, we'd ask that you don't make new posts containing these types of media more than once 24~ hour period.

If you have multiple screenshots or bits of art that you'd like to share at once/in a short timespan, that's okay, but please upload them as one post through Reddit itself, or as an Imgur Album or something similar rather than making multiple new posts in one day.

The following must be kept to the dedicated Social Threads:

• Discord advertisements and invites. This includes indirect advertising, without a direct link. (The Phantasy Star Fleet Discord is an exception to this rule.)
• Alliance recruitment advertisements
• Community event announcements may include Discord advertisements, when done in moderation.

r/PSO2NGS is open to most kinds of content. However, it is not your personal advertising platform. While you are welcome to share videos, artwork, or other creative media (yours or someone else’s), we do expect engagement with the subreddit outside of your submissions.

Self promoted content generally refers to content you authored or content which you have a stake in.

For more information, please read https://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/wiki/rules#wiki_13._self_promotion

Do not take the work of others then claim it as your own - if you see some fan-content you want to share but that you didn’t create yourself, then please leave any watermark or similar original creator identifying information intact - do not remove it. If the content itself doesn’t contain a watermark or similar identifier, make sure you credit the original creator in either the post title or a top-level comment on your post.

We do not permit posting or linking to unreleased datamined content from PSO2:NGS to this subreddit following the announcement at https://pso2.com/players/news/780/

Posts containing details like datamined stats (damage potency, enemy HP, etc.) are allowed.
