r/BanGDream rules: what actually gets removed

Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.

1. 1.Please follow the Reddiquette!

   Enforcement varies

   >Reddiquette is an informal expression of the values of many redditors, as written by redditors themselves. While these are not official rules, please abide by it the best you can. This includes remaining civil in discussion, regardless of the subject, and refraining from harassment of other users. [The full document can be found here.](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette)

2. 2.No advertising

   Enforcement varies

   No advertising of your own website, shop, fundraising project, etc. without prior approval from subreddit moderators. Web tools are allowed at the moderators' discretion if it is helpful to the community.

3. 3.No posts irrelevant to BanG Dream!

   Removed by moderators

   Applies mainly to posts. Any and all content should relate to the *BanG Dream!* franchise in some way, whether it's the seiyuu, anime, merchandise, mobile game, live shows, etc. Anything not in some way pertaining to the *BanG Dream!* franchise is subject to removal at the moderators' discretion. This applies to seiyuu content - posts must be directly related to the Bandori franchise. Birthday posts and major news are exempt.

4. 4.Tag NSFW posts, no nudity/sexual/gore content

   Enforcement varies

   Tag all NSFW posts. This refers to posts or unofficial artworks in which characters are dressed skimpily (swimsuits, underwear, etc.) Explicit nudity, engagement of lewd/sexual acts, and gore are **disallowed even when tagged NSFW**. No images that are derived from, or directly link to, sexually explicit material. This prohibition extends to the sexualization of the Bandori characters in the comments, and the comparison of the characters to other sexual misrepresentations of them.

5. 5.Post Trading/Giveaway posts in /r/BandoriTrades

   Enforcement varies

   All trading and giveaway posts should be posted in /r/BandoriTrades. They also provide middlemen services for more security.

6. 6.No shitposting/low-quality/low-effort content

   Enforcement varies

   Examples of"Low-quality/low-effort": Game-related screenshots such as scorecaps & band lineups, achievements, visual glitches, and things of this nature. These should be posted in the Weekly Free Talk and Q&A Megathread. Reposts of unofficial infographics that don't add anything to the official sources. Shitposts include deep-fried memes, distorted editing of characters, content relating to controversial topics, and things of this nature. These should be posted in /r/GirlsMemeParty instead.

7. 7.Flair all posts appropriately

   Enforced automatically

   Tag all posts with the correct flair immediately after posting. This is for people to search more easily for their desired post. Note that discussion of Girls Band Party strategy and other game-related discussions should be under "Girls Band Party". Only tag "Discussion" if it relates to the characters but not the actual gameplay.

8. 8.Post in the appropriate Megathread

   Enforcement varies

   GBP game questions, luck-related content, achievements, and aforementioned low-effort content are to be posted in the Free Talk and Q&A Megathread. Gacha pulls with three 4* cards (five during Dream/KiraFes Events) and above *or* with every Rate-Up card on the current banner are allowed as separate threads. Help threads are allowed if the user has posted in the Megathread and gotten no responses for minimum 12 hours. Please state this in your thread if this happens so the mods are notified.

9. 9.All posts should be appropriately titled

   Enforcement varies

   All titles should accurately describe the contents of the post. It should be clear what the post is about just from the title. This means no titles like "help", "??? not sure what I'm doing wrong", "translations where?" and so on. Please try to avoid excessive punctuation/capitalization, and spell/word your titles in a way that is easily understandable, to the best of your ability.

10. 10.Fanarts and other external media must be properly sourced/No AI

    Enforcement varies

    All non-OC fanart should be sourced back to its **original creator** (i.e. linked to the same piece of art from the artist's Twitter, Pixiv, deviantArt, etc). Boorus are not viable sources. It is strongly encouraged to link the fanart directly to the thread's URL instead of reposting to reddit, imgur, etc. Please check if the artist is against reproduction of their work without permission before reposting it. Any original content should be flaired as "Fanmade [OC]".

11. 11.No illegal content/download sharing

    Removed by moderators

    No download links to copyrighted/illegal/paid content are allowed. This includes links to illegal streaming sites and torrents. Comments or posts containing such are subject to removal, and punishment may occur on repeat offences.

12. 12.No vent/rant posts.

    Enforcement varies

    If you would like to post a vent or a rant, please post them in the Free Talk and Q&A Megathread instead.

13. 13.No discussions regarding character age over NSFW-marked threads

    Enforcement varies

    Discussions surrounding the age of the characters of the franchise, in particular those attached to NSFW-tagged posts, are quick to devolve into arguments, and are no longer tolerated due to their frequency and severity. Posts and comments of this nature are liable to be removed by a moderator, with warnings and eventual suspensions following for repeat offenses.

14. 14.Post Limit

    Enforcement varies

    Users may post a maximum of 6 posts within a 24-hour period.

r/BanGDream does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.
