Reminder: Caltrops.com Rules by Been Minnowman 04/04/2019, 11:10am PDT
First we added new moderators, now we're overhauling the rules.

With the season about to start, it's a good time to have a look at the sub's rules to make sure you're not some kind of miscreant. The rules have been revised in order to provide more clarity, and to address some of the issues which we have seen pop up over the past year. Have a read:

Memes, rage threads, "reaction" posts, or any other low-effort submissions may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.

2. Multiple posts covering the same topic, i.e. Stroman's latest Tweet, may be removed.

3. Highlight posts must include a link to a video/GIF of the play/event. A text post describing the play/event may be removed at the discretion of the moderators. If multiple posts of the same highlight are posted at near the same time, then the best quality post will be kept. If there are multiple posts of the same quality, then the first to be posted will stay.

4. All links to articles and Tweets must include the name of the author in brackets, i.e. [Davidi], followed by the FULL TEXT of the Tweet/article headline. Failure to follow this posting format will result in your post being removed.

5. Paywalled content may be posted as a link with "($)" included in the title, i.e. [Rosenthal] Why I’m joining The Athletic ($). Posts providing access to content behind a paywall or requesting such will be removed.

6. Posts requesting links to game streams will be removed.

7. We encourage our community members to share their own original content. There is an expectation that users who post links to their original content will be active members of the community. As a general guideline, posts linking to your original content are allowed, provided that you follow Reddit's “10-to-1 rule.” This means that you are allowed to share your original content as long such posts do not exceed more than 10% of your recent submissions. You must share or engage with at least 10 unaffiliated threads for every post you make promoting your original content. As indicated, the “10-to-1 rule” is intended to be a guideline, and the moderators may remove posts deemed to be self-promotion at their discretion.

8. Easily searchable/low effort questions which could be answered with a quick use of the Search button may be removed. Please consult our FAQ for assistance.

9. Posts on topics not related to the Toronto Blue Jays or baseball more generally may be removed.

10. “Upvote parties” may be removed.

11. Users may be banned for posting threatening or inflammatory comments, or any racist/sexist/homophobic remarks.

12. Do not harass other users. Doing so may result in a temporary ban, and further offences may result in a permanent ban.

13. If you are caught trolling, instigating, or harassing users in another team’s subreddit, you will receive a warning or a ban at the discretion of the moderators.

14. The sale of tickets, merchandise, memorabilia, or of any other sort is not permitted on /r/TorontoBlueJays. If you want to sell/exchange tickets, please use our sister sub, /r/jaystickets. Note that any exchange is done explicitly between you and the other party, and /r/TorontoBlueJays is in no way responsible/liable for any transaction. We encourage you to do your research before purchasing tickets from a stranger online. Notwithstanding the prohibition of selling tickets, you may give away tickets for free on /r/TorontoBlueJays.

15. Posting pictures along the lines of “Look at my seat’s for tonight’s game” is only permitted in Game Threads. Individual posts dedicated to such photos may be removed.

16. At times, the rules of /r/TorontoBlueJays may change. The moderators will make every effort to keep you apprised of any changes. You are encouraged to review the rules if you are ever concerned that a post may constitute a violation.

17. We’re all in this together. If there is something that you think the moderators should see, be sure to use the “Report” or "Message the Moderators" features.
