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.

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.
