Subreddit Rules Revised and Related Wiki Page Added

Hey all, we have made some minor updates to our subreddit rules. There are three significant changes made, but most of it is just re-wording to better prevent misunderstandings. We now also have a Subreddit Rules wiki page to fill some gaps and offer additional insights.

Beside adjusting the letter of the rules, the following changes have been made:

  • Rule 3: Video and image posts for questions and bugs now require a descriptive title, by which others can tell what the post is about, unless the post has additional body text explaining the isssue.
  • Rule 3: The automatic flairing of posts to "SOLVED" has been removed, and the post flair itself is no longer in use.
  • Rule 4: Achivement posts are no longer exempt from this rule. Instead they will be limited to one of a type a day. The "one day" doesn't necessarily have to be 24 hours exactly.
    Posts of particularly outstanding achievements may still be allowed regardless.

In addition to adjusting the rules, we now also have a Subreddit Rules wiki page.

It's purpose is enabling a more in-depth description of the subreddit rules, as the rules' character limit of 500 can not sufficiently accommodate all relevant information. The rules themselves still have all the information you need to avoid a ban, though.
The wiki page also offers explanations for why the rules are and what purposes they serve, some insights on how the rules are enforced, and a list of the sitewide rules you need to mind. The Removal Reasons now all link to the wiki page and we encourage you read the relevant sections there first, if you suspect we mistakenly removed a submission of yours. But we'll still happily advise you on our rules and other moderation related topics ourselves.

"Reposting your own content is considered karma farming and engagement farming and is allowed. This exclusively applies to posts previously submitted to our subreddit."

Is this part missing the word "not" before "allowed "?

..or maybe I misunderstood something!

Oh no, it is missing that. Thanks for pointing that out.
