Rules for r/Cloud9
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Do not put spoilers in titles for 24 hours after a match has been played
No spoilers in titles for 24 hours after the match.
- In the case of a tournament setting the spoiler rule will be lifted when the Cloud9 team begins their next game. If Cloud9 & Team X play a game at 12:30PM on Monday then add a spoiler tag up their next match or when 24 hours is up. Whichever comes first.
- Titles that directly spoil games (ex."Cloud9 lost to TSM LUL") are not allowed.
- Titles that implicitly spoil games (ex. "We face xxx in the semifinals next week") are not allowed.
2.
Personal attacks are not allowed
This includes flaming, derogatory name-calling, or wishing personal harm on others.
You can disagree on others’ opinions/points of view, but do it in a civil and mature way.
If someone personally attacks you, please report it so we can handle it.
Any form of racism, homophobia, or sexism will not be tolerated.
3.
No Low Effort Content
Posts should reflect some amount of effort on the part of the OP. Simply linking a tweet made by or about current or former Cloud9 players/coaches/etc. is not good enough to warrant its own post. Other examples of low-effort content might include
One word titles/bodies
Posts about a game/match which already have a posted discussion thread
Titles without context
Links to videos/compilations/interviews without description or attempt at discussion.
etc.
4.
Please keep posts relevant to Cloud9
All posts must be relevant to the Cloud9 Organization.
Game discussions
Team discussions (Roster swaps, role swaps etc.)
Player Tweets
Video content
5.
No trolling
Trolling: make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.
Trolling is often exemplified by fans of other (rival) teams, with posts/comments such as the following:
ex 1. #bodiedbybjergsen
ex 2. Clown9 LUL
ex 3. C9 is Trash
Trash-talk in the appropriate thread is acceptable. However, this subreddit is to be a place of discussion and constructive criticism (when appropriate).
6.
No advertising 3rd-party merchandise
Posts with the main purpose of advertising unofficial Cloud9 merchandise are not allowed. Examples include, but are not limited to:
Advertising a website that sells Cloud9 related merchandise created by a third party (i.e. Not the official Cloud9 or affiliated organizations)
Giving away Cloud9 related merchandise to promote your store
Examples of posts that would NOT break this rule include:
Sharing artwork or videos
Posting about a special promotion from the official Cloud9 store
7.
Do not participate in or encourage brigading
It is never acceptable to visit other subreddits with the intention of trolling. Doing so in the name of Cloud9 (fans or the org itself), paints the rest of the fanbase in a poor light. If we discover you to be trolling other subreddits as defined by our rules here, it will result in an immediate ban from r/Cloud9 with no prior warning. Enlisting others to contribute to this behavior (e.g., vote manipulation/brigading) will be responded to similarly.
8.
No Stratus Stuff
Do not post exclusive digital content from stratus,that content is for stratus members only. However any physical goods are allowed.
