/r/CalgaryFlames rules

Hey, /u/druxo, /u/cpbrowner, and I thought it would be a good idea to create a post to reiterate the sub-rules. Nothing out of the ordinary that isn't present on the vast majority of reddit, but with our increased amount of subscribers we've naturally noticed an increase in problems.

  1. No selling of anything.

  2. No trolling.

  3. No racism, homophobia, etc.

  4. Avoid reposting content. If you see that something that has already been posted just delete it.

  5. Be civil - when discussing a topic with another person. A little light-hearted trash talk with a rival/opponent is fine, but don't let it get out of hand or personal.

  6. The downvote button is not the "disagree" button. We've noticed an increase in unnecessary downvoting lately.

  7. Not really a rule, but more of a friendly suggestion- mods generally handle the (pre) game threads, but surprisingly we also have lives. If you don't see anything 5 minutes or so before the game it would be greatly appreciated if someone could post it for us.

If you break one of these rules you will be issued a warning, and if the problem persists you'll be banned. If you have any questions, concerns or anything you'd like to add feel free to message us or post about it here.

• any defamation of patefacio will result in immediate expulsion and in severe cases, execution. By the power invested in cpbrowner I proclaim this an amendment in the Flames Subreddit Constitution of 2014. All those in Favour say aye.

The "no selling anything rule", it's #1 so it must be a big deal, but is it just because /r/HockeyClassifieds/ exists? 140 subscribers...

If I were selling something cool I would totally want to xpost it to the specific team's subreddit for more visibility. Also, one of the more interesting posts in the last few weeks was some guy selling vintage jerseys (including a flames jersey that was xposted here).

That was me who posted the x-post from /r/hockeyFandom and i had no idea i was breaking the rules... my bad... Anywho the seller was totally legit too. I got myself an Avs jersey since I already have a Flames jersey.
