/v/ is a board for video games and gaming culture. The 8kun Global Rule is in effect. In addition, keep it vidya-related per the board's subject matter.

1. No spamming, flooding, raiding, or botting. Do not call for, advocate, post, or link to dox. /v/ is not your personal army.

2. You must be 18+ years old to post on /v/.

3. Not-safe-for-work pictures are allowed, but only if spoilered. If you are not sure whether something is safe for work or not, err on the side of caution and spoiler it. Porn dumps (3+ posts with spoilered or unspoilered NSFW pictures) will be allowed one thread at a time until a video game porn board takes over.

4. Meta threads are allowed but will be bumplocked. Exceptions may be allowed in case of important developments.

5. Ban evasion will get you banned again.

6. If you make a duplicate thread, it may get deleted, locked or bumplocked and you will be redirected to the already existing thread, provided the preexisting thread has not hit the bump limit. Continuation threads such as GamerGate x Edition, Video Game General #32 (i.e., threads about broad topics that are constantly remade) etc. will be deleted if they are made before the previous thread hits 700 posts or Page 13 to keep the front page from being cluttered with the same discussions.

7. Threads made in a template fashion (Foolz posting) and console war bullshit like "PC will never EVER get Bloodborne" will result in thread deletion or bumplock.

8. If you are deliberately shitting up, constantly derailing a certain thread, or excessively using an avatar persona, you may be banned and your posts may be deleted.

9. Threads focused on e-celebs and the gossip surrounding them will be bumplocked. Examples include "[random YouTuber] hate thread," "Dodger thread," "What happened to Arin?" or "It's a Woolie episode." E-celeb-related news that are big enough to warrant discussion (for example, something that has an impact on the industry) may not be bumplocked.

10. Dubs are allowed, but are limited to one dubs post and one reroll. If the post history contains only dubs, the posts will be deleted regardless of how many posts the user has. Do not post dubs in legitimate threads or generals. Dubsbombing a thread because you do not like the game or the discussion will be considered spam.

Additional Stipulations:

• GamerGate threads are allowed, but only one thread at a time per Rule 6. If you want a dedicated thread to discuss a specific GamerGate topic, please go to the respective GamerGate boards;

• If you dislike something, use the Filter and Hide functions - only report a thread or a post if it is breaking a rule;

• Embedding a monetized YouTube video in the OP may result in a volunteer editing your post to replace the video and / or add a mirror / WebM thereto;

• Discussion of visual novels and mobile gaming is allowed;

• /v/ currently has 15 pages and the bump limit is 350 posts. Tor posting is enabled. For transparency regarding volunteer activity, please check the board log.
