My writing partner and I spent an hour and a half last night pouring over notes we wrote about a dungeon 2 years ago trying to match them against a map that I drew 1 year ago. Suffice to say, these things did not align. Sure hope I learn an important lesson from this!

I don't often post things outside of project announcements because I'm just kind of a guy who makes silly things during his work downtime. I didn't pioneer anything and I don't think I have too many original ideas. But boy howdy am I inspired by a lot of stuff, so I'll share some of that!

People with a game publication account or doing other creative work like writing, please please don’t only do self promo post. We also need to nurture the scene or it will wither. Do some journaling posts about your work, inspirations, play sessions, books you read, etc Show some personality.

I'm obsessed with the post-apocalypse because I like cowboy hats, deserts, and revolvers but I also like lasers, muscle cars, and rockabilly and I can cram all of those things into one project and no one gets mad.

Minor updates to Rule 7 regarding self-promotion
The r/rpg mods have made a few minor changes to Rule 7 to tighten up some loopholes and clarify some questions that we get asked regularly in modmail.
These changes should result in absolutely zero impact to our regular users.
The changes simply document common things that we are seeing in the queues and modmail and will allow us to moderate more effectively without having to explain the same things over and over in modmail.
We have not changed the definition of an active user, or what is needed to post promotion.
There are some minor grammar changes for clarity, and a few sentences were rearranged.
The following are the non-trivial changes that were made:
OLD:
Affiliate links must be clearly disclosed or they will be removed
NEW:
Affiliate links and other profit-sharing schemes are not allowed.
ADDED TO THE "WHAT IS SELF PROMOTION" LIST:
Discussing "a game you are working on", with obvious intent to fish for questions or requests for details and links.
Asking for features to include or feedback on a game, site, app, or tool that you are building

And the most substantial change:

OLD:

"If you are using a newly created account and start immediately posting to other peoples' work, then you may be seen as a self-promoter in disguise."

NEW:

"If you are using a newly created or inactive account and start immediately posting promotion of other peoples' work, then you will be considered a self-promoter in disguise."

This change is being made because we regularly get into modmail discussions with brand new or inactive accounts that promote a product to multiple subs, but claim "I'm not affiliated" when there is clearly promotion being made. We see enough obvious "stealth promo" that we are now assuming that promo from non-active accounts is self-promo. This doesn't change how we've been moderating these posts (we've been using this assumption for a while now), merely documenting the change.

Thank you.
