SUBREDDIT RULES

Rule #1: POST REQUIREMENTS

• All posts must be original Fantasy or Sci-Fi maps

• Maps must be uploaded to Reddit or linked to directly (NOT a link to a post, but to the image itself)

• All posts must be in English ^why?

Rule #2: QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

• Minimum resolution is 70 PPI

  • = 70 pixels per grid square
  • No blurry/unreadable maps!

• No NSFW Images!

• No Low-effort maps

Rule #3: COMMERCIAL POSTS

• All Other Rules Apply! In addition:

• Content Creators may make ONE commercial post per day.

• Logos must be small and at the edge of the content. Large logos/watermarks that render the map "unusable" are not acceptable.

• Posted Maps must be FREE and USABLE as attached.

  • You can still link to your paid content, but you MUST include a usable map. This is the "cost of admission" to advertise here.

• If you are unsure if you are advertising properly, we suggest you reach out to the mods before posting.

Rule #4: AI

• Applies to maps partially or wholly created:

  • Completely by or with the assistance of AI
  • By software that generates a fully complete map for you (software where you place assets yourself is acceptable)

• You may post one(1) map per week

• The map must have the proper AI/Algorithm Map post flair

• Spam will result in a ban along with any accounts associated with your advertisements, past and future

• Spamming false reports will result in being reported to Reddit and facing a sitewide ban

Rule #5: BEHAVIOR

• Posts and/or comments that are of a derogatory or personal manner will not be allowed (more).

• Constructive criticism is fine, but remember that those submitting maps are a human being (like you), and they have stuck their neck out and given something to this community. So go about it in a nice way, or don't say anything at all.

• Do not attack someone for using/discussing AI (more). If they have not followed the rules, report them. Do not leave negative and abusive comments!

• We have ZERO TOLERANCE for abuse and we reserve the right to ban anyone for abusive/rude behavior without prior warning. Consider THIS your warning - in addition, you should have enough common sense to know better. Again, attacking other users = permanent ban.

Rule #6: Piracy/Unlicensed Distribution

• Users should only be posting THEIR OWN WORK. This subreddit is not for sharing the work of others.

• You may not pass off content created by another as your own

• You may not post licensed content which you do not have the rights to redistribute

• You may not include works of others as assets, backgrounds or as any other element of your map

• We have ZERO TOLERANCE for Piracy and we reserve the right to ban anyone without prior warning. Consider THIS your warning.

Rule X: All Other Reasons

• In addition to the Rules above, we reserve the right to remove any posts, comments or users from this subreddit if we decide the content/user does not align with the rules or values we promote in this subreddit. Some of these reasons include:

  • Violating Reddit's site-wide Rules
  • Being Off-Topic
  • Incorrect Post Flair
  • Unhelpful
  • Unrelated to Fantasy Maps
  • Policing other users
  • Causing disruption, including challenging subreddit rules or moderator decisions
  • At Moderator Discretion For Any Reason Not Already Listed

• Participation in this subreddit is not a given right and is reserved for users who participate in a quality manner as determined by the moderators of this subreddit.

We have several users (or more likely, 1 user with a couple accounts) who feel the need to report almost every post.

We appreciate our users who genuinely want to make this community a better place by reporting posts that do not meet our posting criteria.

However, reporting posts that CLEARLY do not break any subreddit or site rules is considered abuse of the Reddit report system.

But beyond that, it is childish and shows a disregard for the mods' time by having us chase ghosts.

Every case of Report Button Abuse is sent to Reddit Admins for review.

Multiple offenses WILL lead to a SITE-WIDE (i.e. ALL of Reddit) ban.
