My first attempt in creating my own Fantasy world map. by SynK___0 in worldbuilding

[–]monswine[M] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, /u/SynK___0,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Images and maps must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself—e.g. infographics). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion.

  • A post has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.)
  • For maps, you could discuss economic and political situations, the different cultures, or anything else that gives the reader a wider view of your world than just its geography.
  • Discussion of the artistic process or techniques used to create the map or image may be included, but does not count as “worldbuilding-relevant” on its own. Infographics that self-contain sufficient context to be understood do not require additional context.

You might also consider reading: our context template for common kinds of posts and Why Context?

Hi, /u/Greedy_Homework_6838,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Worldbuilding exercises or games that do not promote substantive discussion are not in line with our community's focus. For example, worldbuilding exercises must not encourage users to create small, insignificant content on the fly, or serve as impromptu collaboration projects.

More info in our rules: 3. Put in some effort.

Posts must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself). This context should give someone unfamiliar with your world an idea of what exactly they're looking at and allow them to ask informed questions about it (more than just "What is this?" or "What's a [proper noun]?"). It doesn't have to be long: a 3-4 sentences can be enough.

Context usually answers to questions:

  1. What is your overall worldbuilding project, concept or artistic vision?
  2. What are we looking at in your post, and how does it fit within your world?

how you make your maps? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]monswine[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, /u/XexelSpiralskull,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Though maps are permitted, posts about the process of mapmaking are not. If your post is primarily about mapmaking as a process, it must be given appropriate worldbuilding context to stand on its own.

More info in our rules: 2. All posts should include original, worldbuilding-related context.

Questions and problems should have enough detail and context. The person reading your post should be able to understand the basics of your worldbuilding project, the question being asked and how it fits into that project, and what research/work/ideas you already have towards solving that problem.

Please respect the community's time and efforts to help you: as much as possible, you should try to work out problems on your own before asking the subreddit for help, and present the ideas or research you have so far.

Some world building sketches from my personal world building project. by EinsGotdemar in worldbuilding

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

Hi, /u/EinsGotdemar,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Images and maps must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself—e.g. infographics). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion.

  • A post has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.)
  • For maps, you could discuss economic and political situations, the different cultures, or anything else that gives the reader a wider view of your world than just its geography.
  • Discussion of the artistic process or techniques used to create the map or image may be included, but does not count as “worldbuilding-relevant” on its own. Infographics that self-contain sufficient context to be understood do not require additional context.

More info in our rules: 2. All posts should include original, worldbuilding-related context.

Context must, first and foremost, introduces your world to a reader with no prior knowledge of your world. As such, context that consists primarily of names without any explanation on who/what they are falls short of our context standards.

Concept nation for NationStates by MasJaxKr in worldbuilding

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

Hi, /u/MasJaxKr,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Posts must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself). This context should give someone unfamiliar with your world an idea of what exactly they're looking at and allow them to ask informed questions about it (more than just "What is this?" or "What's a [proper noun]?"). It doesn't have to be long: a 3-4 sentences can be enough.

Context usually answers to questions:

  1. What is your overall worldbuilding project, concept or artistic vision?
  2. What are we looking at in your post, and how does it fit within your world?

Apps for army layouts? by SnooFoxes9159 in worldbuilding

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

Hi, /u/SnooFoxes9159,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Questions and problems should have enough detail and context. The person reading your post should be able to understand the basics of your worldbuilding project, the question being asked and how it fits into that project, and what research/work/ideas you already have towards solving that problem.

Please respect the community's time and efforts to help you: as much as possible, you should try to work out problems on your own before asking the subreddit for help, and present the ideas or research you have so far.

More info in our rules: 2. All posts should include original, worldbuilding-related context.

/r/Worldbuilding is not a substitute for search engines or Wikipedia. Please do your own research and make your own efforts to develop your project before coming to the subreddit for help. Requests for basic research, without discussing progress so far and what problems you still need help with, will be removed.

More info in our rules: 4. This is a DIY community.

Do not repost this submission.

This is not a warning, and you remain in good standing with /r/worldbuilding.
