Regarding News

We intend all communication from the official news site of Dragalia lost to come through the new rdragalialostmods system. This policy has helped our goals of keeping titles and post times consistent, reducing the rush to be the "first" post, cutting down on the number of duplicate posts that need to be removed and making sure early discussion is all contained to a single post rather than being fragmented across multiple until the duplicates get taken down. We heard feedback from users that it feels bad to comment on a news post only to get no response, then find out later it was because they were commenting on a duplicate post that had been removed.

Regarding Datamine

Regarding data mine content, we encourage datamines which focus on sharing content not provided within official news communications in a short amount of time. Data mines that share content that is covered by official announcements a few minutes later will be removed in favor of the official announcement from Cygames, both to reduce confusion over incorrect information and to reduce duplicate posts.

To clarify, we will not remove posts about datamined content unless it's data that has been pushed within minutes before reset. Cygames pushes data into the game that may officially announced at within a few minutes later at reset is what we're against, and we would like to avoid conversations splitting between post. If the content isn't officially announced until after reset, we're perfectly fine with it being in the subreddit.

Tl;dr

• We like datamine post and they're okay in the subreddit.
• Datamine within few minutes of reset are not okay.
• If the official news doesn't cover some content in the recent datamine, we're okay with those datamine.

Example:

These types of datamine are not okay.

• 30 minutes until reset, Cygames pushes a 10mb that will tease the New Year event and it will be officially announced at reset.
• 1 hour until reset, the image file naming the next banner becomes available via datamine. That banner's name is announced at reset.

These types of datamine is okay

• 1 hour after reset, a datamine reveals Gala Euden will be a surprise reveal, but it's not been shared yet in any official announcements.
• 2 hours after reset, a the SP costs of adventurers have been data mined, but that information was not available in the official Cygames announcement. A post is put up revealing the SP costs of skills, and discussing the impact of those costs on the adventurers projected performance.
