No Spoilers
Any clips/discussions about esports events should remain spoiler-free in the title of the post and should be marked as a spoiler. Datamining should not contain spoilers in the title of the post and should be marked as a spoiler.
No Begging/Buying/Selling
Do not create posts or comments to beg, sell or buy content. This includes cosmetics, gems, god packs, physical goods or other Smite content that can be purchased (official or fan-made). If you would like to trade content you can do so at r/SmiteTrades. We allow giveaways and promotions of Smite-related free content, as long as an entry does not require any personal information or payment and does not net a profit for the user. Referrals and referral apps (such as gleam.io) are not allowed.
Low Effort Posts
All posts on the subreddit need to adhere to a certain standard of quality and should encourage discussion. Examples for low effort posts include reposts of recently posted content, looking for group/clan/scrims posts, posts with non-descriptive or vague titles, god cards showing high mastery levels or usernames.
No Excessive Self-Promotion
As well as being against Reddit's own 10:1 guidelines, we want to encourage diverse content from a variety of users. Every user may only promote something every 72 hours AND a content source may only be promoted once every 72 hours. Tournament announcements and any official Hi-Rez content are exempt from this. Advertising of a discord other than ours or the Official Smite discord is not allowed. All promoted content should be Smite related (See Rule 5).
Art Submissions and God Concepts
God concepts must include a full God kit. This includes God name, class, damage type, and all ability names and details. Skin concepts must include artwork, it may not be just a text description of a skin idea. You may NOT find an image of something you like and share it as a skin concept. You MUST give credit to the artist in the title of the post. (watermarks are sufficient for artists). If you wish to become a verified artist, please send a modmail with a link to your art page.
Be relevant to Smite
This is a subreddit for discussion about the video game Smite - tangentially related content may be removed. The doings/administration of individuals on their private Twitch channels. What pros and Hi-Rez employees get up to outside of Smite. Other Hi-Rez games. Artistic representations of characters that appear in the game (Statues, Carvings, Paintings, Tattoos etc.) are not necessarily related to Smite as a game.
Bugs and technical errors
Please direct your bug reports to the Official Smite Discord, and your account-related issues to Hi-rez Support. The following posts are not allowed on the subreddit: screenshots of errors, bugs or glitches; asking about hardware; account-related issues; technical issues or bugs; status posts about the servers; posts about an exploit or hack you've found.
No Personal Problems
By this we mean r/Smite is not your personal blog, soapbox or helpdesk. The following types of posts may be removed: Rants or complaints about a few matches, matchmaking or players; Directing the post to Hi-Rez/an organization/individual. Constructive criticism is allowed but simple complaint posts that don’t go into detail and don’t encourage discussion may be removed.
No Witchhunting
Posting witchhunts against players, community figures, or employees is not allowed. Criticizing public figures in a civil manner is allowed but comments might be locked depending on how the comments go. Due to concerns about witchhunting we require users to censor all usernames in posts with a negative context.
Site-Wide Rules and Reddiquette
We require all users to follow the site-wide content policy and the Reddiquette. Please be nice to each other. Try to refrain from excessive profanity. Clickbait or non-descriptive titles may lead to the post being removed. Don't repost deleted content without Mod permission. Please note we are a PG-13 subreddit, submissions that are NSFW are not allowed.
WOW this is awesome. You always do amazing work but this one just feels like a step up even more.
great job and thank you for sharing!
Makes sense, thanks for the info man. Maybe you could do something similar to apex subs, one for patches/updates etc and one for memes/rants. Smite is a smaller game, but that way it caters to both
We do actually have a sister sub for memes called /r/Gank but people don't visit it as often. So just a heads up :)
What do you mean “currently”? Is it just while s8 is coming out so the sub doesn’t get clogged, or is this something you’re looking to keep up due to low effort memes (like mine :D)
Memes have always been highly debated even before I was a mod, some people like them, some people want them gone. Currently we have "meme days" where once a month people can post memes all they want, but as expressed by some people, they don't feel as that's enough. So we're looking into feedback for when we change the rules :)
Hey! As per our rules, memes here aren't allowed currently. However, this is a highly debated topic and we're having a mod meeting today, so if you wanna share your opinions you're more than welcome to reply to this or message us in modmail if you feel like this needs changing!
Hey, thank you for sharing your videos. However, we do have a 72-hour promotion rule in place when sharing content, so that should be the time between your video posts.
If you disagree with the rule, we're open to feedback in the modchat, as we're currently looking for people's opinions.
Cheers!
Hey, I'll be removing this post as it currently breaks our Tech support rules, but I'd like to redirect you to the Smite official discord where you should get the support you need. Cheers!
