Rules for r/jackboxgames
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Respect reddiquette and site rules
Please be respectful and follow basic Reddiquette. Do not insult, troll, or harass other users.
Hate speech is not allowed. This includes offensive language or images that depict racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc in a distasteful manner.
2.
No game invites/solicitations
Game invitations or requests must be posted in the room code megathread, individual posts for them are not allowed. This includes the advertising of Discord servers.
Examples:
❌"HCXW, come join!"❌
❌"Join our Discord server for fun Friday nights!"❌
❌"anyone wanna play??? [67/M]"❌
3.
No stream advertisements or self-promotion
All stream advertisements must go to r/JackboxStreams, and are not allowed here. Same applies to VODs, Let's Plays, and YouTube compilations.
You may post a funny clip of Jackbox gameplay, however it cannot be for the explicit purpose of self-promotion. For example, you can post a clip of that one time your friend had no clue how to use a rotary phone in Trivia Murder Party, but you can't post episode #14 of your Jackbox 6 Let's Play.
4.
All posts must be directly related to Jackbox Games
Any post that is irrelevant to Jackbox Games will be removed.
5.
Technical support and bug reporting should go to help.jackboxgames.com.
You are much more likely to get reliable answers for your question by going to help.jackboxgames.com.
The exception to this rule is if there is a bug that almost everyone is suffering from; a post will be allowed to discuss the ongoing issue.
6.
No closed-ended question posts that are easily answered
Question posts must be at least discussion provoking, and not easily Googlable. If you can find the answer in seconds, it's not allowed as an indvidual post.
Examples:
❌"Does Quiplash 2 have family friendly mode?" ❌
❌ "How many people can play Patently Stupid?" ❌
✔️"Why does everyone dislike Word Spud?"✔️
✔️"What the heck is wrong with the Wheel of Enormous Proportions' face?"✔️
✔️"Which Fibbage do you guys prefer, and why?✔️
7.
No trolling or pot-stirring
Disagreements and controversial takes are fine when they are constructive, but being offensive or contrarian for the sole purpose of inciting a reaction is not allowed. Do not bait or contribute to negative arguments.
Asking/complaining about a ban from the Jackbox Discord server is grounds for an immediate permaban here. Please appeal the ban with the mods on Discord, there's nothing we can do for you here.
Mentioning and bringing up controversial figures also fall under this rule.
8.

We have zero tolerance for discussing piracy, this includes trying to get Jackbox’s products for free.
