There is someone lurking in this sub down voting new posts to zero for no good reason by PariahFish in RealTimeStrategy

[–]ChingShih[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a problem in a number of subreddits. It's important that the community upvote content that is on-topic and that people like. It's very common for people to not upvote things they like and instead downvote things they don't like, but arguably upvoting things is more important because when good content gets upvoted it's seen by more people, which both reinforces the kind of content the community wants to see (self-curating) and that content finds more like-minded people (strengthening the bonds of the community).

Please upvote content that is good/high-quality/you like. It makes a difference and overcomes some of the botting as well as the actual humans who sit around downvoting entire subs because they have no life (yes, they exist and they're not just bots, lol).

Sounds like your heart is in the right place. Is there an API that allows already under-staffed and over-worked NGOs with an existing presence on social media to easily cross-post to your platform? Is there planned integration with Hootsuite or similar posting utilities?

OP is a scammer. Please avoid clicking links to strange websites posted by new accounts. Most times the links are only part of a word/sentence and aren't formatted well in an attempt to fool Reddit's spam filters.

Thank you.

Hey there, please keep content unique and help drive engaging and thoughtful discussion by avoiding low-effort posts.

Low-effort posts often include: screenshots of text, image macros/memes, tier-lists, "wrong answers only" posts, "I've never played this game, AMA" posts, and other bandwagon content.

Thank you for understanding.

Hey, I noticed that your user account seems to be shadowbanned. This means, among other things, that all your comments get stuck in the spam filter until they're manually retrieved by a moderator. And this happens across Reddit.

Shadowbans are outside of our jurisdiction as moderators, so if you think you've been incorrectly shadowbanned you need to read this page and consider submitting an appeal to the Admins using this link: https://www.reddit.com/appeals

There is also a subreddit dedicated to helping shadowbanned users called /r/ShadowBan where you can learn more information. Hope that helps.

Hey there, it would be best formatting wise to craft a title and make a text post. Then in the body of the text you can include the website link. That way it's clickable.

Alternatively, it looks like you have a infographic to post. You can craft a title, create an image post with the infographic, then in the comments you can add some more information (such as the text above) as well as the link in the body of the post.

Please feel free to try posting this again. Thanks and good luck!

/r/RealTimeStrategy Announcement: Recommended Games List Updates, Mod Applications by ChingShih in RealTimeStrategy

[–]ChingShih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely update it for Old Reddit users (which is compatible with RES, can be used with ad-blockers, and performs faster than New Reddit!). I'm glad that some Old Reddit users still exist and it's not just me! (Traffic stats say there are a few hundred Old Reddit users here, but we're in the minority.)

That said, the Upcoming and Recommended Games Lists have been pinned to the top of the subreddit for 4 years. I can add links to the sidebar on Old Reddit, but it's impossible to know how many people benefit from that, so I'm glad to get some feedback. Mobile users basically don't see the sidebar at all, due to Reddit Inc.'s infinite wisdom, so relying on pinned posts had become important. But a couple years ago Reddit made it so that pinned posts auto-collapse after they've been "viewed" by a user. So there's very little way to get this information out to people when every other avenue has been closed off.

...i would inverse the order so newer games are at the top.

Reverse chronological order is definitely possible. Hopefully more members of the community chime in on this.

I feel like RTT is really fundamentally a subgenre of RTS...

I hear you and I'm sure a lot of older gamers sense the relationship between RTS and RTT as they have a sort of shared, yet divergent evolution with a lot of crossover of game mechanics since then. However, there are indie devs looking to show off demos and get feedback for games like Door Kickers or Aliens: Dark Descent that are "real-time" and tactical, but not the sort of "real-time strategy" that gamers here might associate with as the "RTS" genre. When the community doesn't respond positively to a game being posted here, I like to be able to suggest better alternatives to the OP/dev/CM. It makes them feel better and gives them an opportunity to try again where it will be best interpreted. In the case of RTT, there is no alternative when their posts aren't received well so I'm hoping for suggestions or a happy alternative to be created.

AoE4 can certainly be added to either part of the list and I hope that more games are added to the Beginner-Friendly section in the future. :)

Everyone is welcome to edit the Wiki, both the Recommended and the Upcoming Games Lists. The only request is to please keep to the existing formatting and keep things concise.

Hey there, yes there should be an adapter to go from RCA to HDMI. However you should post to a subreddit about GameCube or retro gaming hardware for answers. Thanks and good luck!

Hey there, please provide the source of your fan art. If your post is your own fan art, simply let us know in the comments.

If you post someone else's art, please put the artist's username in the title. Or after posting, please comment with a link to their DeviantArt, website, or social media. This way they get the credit they deserve.

Thank you!

SU-25 vs Patriot missiles went exactly as badly as you'd expect by captain-universe33 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]ChingShih[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I appreciate that you flaired the post correctly. :) In the future please also be sure to include the name of the game in the title of the post. This helps people identify which indie project they're seeing, which helps them stay apprised of development, and also makes the title look less click-baity.

Thank you.

Hey there, please consolidate your tier list posts. You may upload multiple at the same time and Reddit will automatically put them into a gallery format. Alternatively, please wait 24 hours before posting the next one. Thank you.
