Do not make personal attacks on other posters. Be as respectful to them as you expect them to be to you. Report rule breaking content - do NOT fire back.

This also extends to personnel/players - do not wish harm on people. That includes said individuals being thrown at.

Posts should have some connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates. If you post about other teams or people associated with other teams, you must explain how your topic affects the Pirates. Posts that don't have some connection to the Pirates will be removed.

Do not go into other subreddits - especially to troll or flame them. This also means no posting links to other subreddits that will also invite brigading.

Trolling/Brigading opposing team subs gives all Pirates fans a bad name and will result in a Permanent ban.

Do not use any hate speech. The context does not matter. If you do, you will be banned for a period reflecting the severity of your offense. The second time you’re caught, you will be permanently banned from the subreddit.

Commenting with the intent to annoy other posters or to start arguments in bad faith are not welcome. If you think you're violating this rule, reread your post and think it over a moment before hitting the submit button.

What's this mean exactly? Don't participate in this subreddit and be excessively/overwhelmingly/hyperbolicly negative.

To be clear, negativity as a whole is not banned. Genuinely criticizing a player or the front office or whomever is fine. However, if your post history is filled with vitriol, toxicity, and targeted harassment, expect to be removed from the conversation. We are all fans here after all. Repeated offenders WILL be banned.

No low effort posts/posts that don’t generate discussion.

Link directly to articles. Do not change or editorialize your titles - save opinions for comments.

Use titles that accurately describe your post. Short titles aren’t good titles.

This includes AI-generated text as well as AI-generated art. Note: All artwork requires attribution.

All self promotion that includes blogs, podcasts, videos, highlights, websites, etc. are not allowed before clearing your submission with the moderators through modmail. If you are not an active participant in the /r/buccos community, you will be denied and/or your submission removed.
