2. Irrelevant Content Rule
Irrelevant Content Rule
Submissions to Overwatch University are not only required to be related to Overwatch as a game, but also to the educational aspects surrounding it. This means that every submissions we find irrelevant to the very purpose of the subreddit, which is to facilitate healthy discussions about the game in an educational-focused enviroment, will be removed.
Examples of Irrelevant Content:
- PTR duplicate based self-posts*
- Interest Gauging submissions
- Image/Video-content without a text body
*We would have another singular PTR-dedicated thread for this.
3. Insulting & Offensive Terms
Insulting Users
Any form of heavily offensive language and/or inflammatory language used is prohibited. No trolling, belittling, name-calling, threats, harassment or discriminatory language. Treat others how you want to be treated.
Don't disagree others' opinions just because they have a lower rating than you do. /r/OverwatchUniversity is about promoting healthy discussion and extensive educational content, and offensive/discriminatory language directly harms the purpose of the subreddit.
4. Serious Replies Only
Serious Replies Only
Top level comments must contain serious answers, while replies to top level comments must not derail serious discussion. Any submission failing in meeting these conditions, will be promptly removed.
Overwatch University is a subreddit dedicated to the educational aspects of Overwatch, we want our users to maintain focus on learning the game, rather than being distracted by memeing or being ridiculed when asking for help.
5. Clickbaiting Titles Rule
Clickbaiting Titles Rule
Sensationalist titles and non-extensive "extensive" guides will be removed. /r/OverwatchUniversity is an educational subreddit, and providing its userbase with clickbaiting titles is likely to directly contradict the educational value of the subreddit.
That being said, we do allow guides that actually are extensive the usage of the word, or close synonyms/other varities of it. We will also be slightly lenient when it comes to titles with arbitrary numbers.
6. Advertisement Rule Updated
Advertisement Rule
We do not allow any advertising of any kind.
These include, but are not limited to:
- Team-related Advertisement
If you'd like to advertise anything on this subreddit, please send your inquiry towards the moderator team.
7. AMA Rule
AMA Rule
Unapproved AMA's are not allowed. In order to maintain a certain value on educational content, we're disallowing any AMA's being arranged without the permission of the moderator team.
Instead of an AMA, document your thoughts into a post. A few questions we get often on AMA posts are:
- What is your number one tip to a new player?
- What do you think are the most important things you focused on that helped you improve?
- How did you approach X or Y problem?
- How do you deal with X champion?
