No rude or uncivil comments/posts are allowed. There is absolutely no reason to be disrespectful to other users or developers, even if you feel they deserve it.

Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:

• Insults
• Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism (including slurs)
• Being hostile/condescending
• Witchhunting (negative posts about a player that shows their gamertag)
• Platform/input-shaming

Posts must be unique, newsworthy, and/or contribute to civil discussion.

Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:

• Reposts or trends
• Rants, unconstructive complaints, or doomposts
• Trolling/ragebait posts
• Poor titles (clickbait, misleading, nondescript, etc.)
• Polls or surveys
• Nostalgia bait (old vids, menus, etc.)
• Call-to-action/petition posts
• Scoreboard/achievement posts
• Non-rare merch/collection pics

Memes are only allowed to be posted on Meme Saturday (all day Saturday, Eastern Time). If a user posts a meme when the Meme Saturday thread is NOT pinned on the front page, it will be removed.

Not all Saturdays are Meme Saturdays and we reserve the right to postpone it when needed. Please ensure the Meme Saturday thread is stickied before posting.

This includes images with text overlayed or any other meme-based content. Original video memes may be allowed at moderator discretion.

New official lore material and datamined/leaked game content are considered spoilers. Datamined/leaked campaign story info is not allowed.

Spoilers can only be discussed:

• In mod-created spoiler threads
• In their own threads with a vague title and spoiler tag
• In comments with spoiler tags (>!spoiler!<)

After the spoiler content is three months past release, users may discuss it freely.

Current Spoiler Material: Halo: The Rubicon Protocol

Items which are on 343 Plz are considered 'retired' and new posts about the subject will be removed, unless there is news relating to the 'retired' item.

Giveaways are allowed if they take place exclusively on Reddit and nothing is being received in return for the giveaway (e.g. a follow, subscription, or payment). If the giveaway is for something larger than a code, please message the mods beforehand.

Threads or comments that are advertising, selling, trying to buy, trading, or begging for something are not allowed and will be removed.

You may promote your channel if you have at least five comments on r/Halo posts other than your own for each self-promoting post. If you do not meet the 5:1 ratio, you can promote your content once every two months as long as your account is not primarily dedicated to self-promotion.

If you are submitting others' content, you must give credit in the title and a source in the comments. If you see a post without credit, please message modmail or report the post with a source.

The content of all posts must be directly related to Halo. We do not allow content that is partially related to Halo only by name, reference, or the post's title.

Examples that break this rule include, but are not limited to:

• A Halo number (e.g. 117, 343) on something
• An object that looks similar to or has the same name as something from Halo
• Comment sections quoting or referencing Halo
• Issues with other Halo communities
• Politics

Please use the "Looking for Group" channels in the r/Halo Discord.

This applies to all Achievement runs, play nights, Spartan Companies, team recruitment or any other search for other people to play with.

Well-organized community game nights or tournaments are allowed with prior moderator approval.

Our listed rules aren't comprehensive. The /r/Halo mod team reserves the right to remove content or ban users as necessary if it is deemed detrimental to the subreddit or to the experience of others.

This also includes NSFW content, cheats , and piracy in any form.

Any content that lowers the /r/Halo user experience can and will be removed. Ignorance of the rules or disagreeing with them does not excuse breaking them, nor does responding to someone that breaks them by doing so yourself.
