- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
I liked them when I was a teenager, but I skipped the entire console generation that 4 was on and I’ve tried to play 5 twice and bounced off both times. The sandbox part is excellent but their gameplay isn’t and the story is way too edgy in all the wrong ways for me.
That said I am tentatively excited for 6, purely because it’s giving me Red Dead Redemption 2 vibes which had an absolutely phenomenal story. So if GTA can even hit half the highs of RDR2 story wise I’ll pick it up. Otherwise I’m good.
