New Rule: Stay on Topic (lemmy.world)

We have added a new rule to the community:

Rule # 1: Stay on Topic

The purpose of this community has always been to share news and have discussions about everything related to Nintendo, some of these can be good, some of these can be bad. If you want to gush over the new Mario, you are welcome to do so, if you want to criticise Nintendo for their various lawsuits, you are also welcome to do so, as they are all on topic discussions.

What is not on-topic is posting "Fuck Nintendo" and it's variations on random posts. We have generally ignored these before, as we don't want to stop anyone from sharing their sentiments, but this has started to increase the toxicity in the posts, for those who do enjoy Nintendo games and the community. You can still disagree, or even hate Nintendo, but your comment must be related to the post. If you just want to discuss general issues with Nintendo, you are welcome to create a post detailing it's failures, as long as it doesn't break any other rules.

So, in short, comments like the following are fine:

"Man, I hate Nintendo, why can't they give the game upgrades for free like PlayStation?"

But comments like the ones below are off-topic and will be removed:

"Fuck Nintendo"

"I hope this flops"

Please report any off-topic posts you find, so that mods can take a look and remove them.

Thanks

P.S: Since this rule has been added on top, as #1, all other rule numbers have increased by 1, so previous #1 has become #2, and #2 has become #3 and so on.

Thank you. I think most communities need to enforce a rule like this because there are a lot of ridiculous people on the platform. I post a ton on /c/games and /c/movies and I'm still getting a lot of comments that are essentially whining about hating the company that made it or telling others to stop enjoying it. If you're on a gaming community and aren't here to talk about gaming, why ARE you here in the first place?

Shoutout to a lot of times I post about a new game and get occasional comments similar to "Ew why would I buy a 70 euro game when I can wait 2 years to buy it at 15 euros". adds absolutely nothing to the conversation. Also the occasional "is this post an ad???" comment for posting an article about upcoming games.

It's just not interesting for anyone else to read. The majority of us just want to keep up to date with video game news and occasionally discuss it. We aren't interested in taking up the cause.

I second this, it's incredibly frustrating and perhaps because of the type of demographic that's on Lemmy, it happens a lot more than on Reddit?

When it comes to gaming, you are one of the most prolific posters on lemmy, and any one interested in gaming must have come across your posts many times, so it's pretty sad to see that you face similar issues. Though, on the other hand, with how prolific you are, it makes sense that you will get all type of people.

I understand when people don't like certain companies, but don't understand the mentality that if I don't like something, no one else should enjoy it.
