November 2018 Rule Updates

Hello r/FortniteBR!

We have made some changes to help control the volume of suggestion posts and overall posts that have been sore spots or perceived as low effort by the community. We understand that some users will not be happy with this change and it is not a change that we took lightly. We thoroughly discussed this change within the mod team and believe that it is the best choice going forward.

Suggestion Guidelines Additions:

• All suggestions must go into a text post alongside a description of your suggestion. If the description of the suggestion is not long enough to encourage a valid discussion, then it will be removed. You can provide a link to an image, gif, or video in your post via imgur or a similar service, but we do not allow link shorteners.

Recently there have been a lot of ‘spammy & low quality’ suggestions and that has been brought to our attention by users of the subreddit. This is one of the main reasons why we’re enforcing this change, we want r/FortniteBR to be a place for everybody to be able to discuss the game and share their ideas. But when it gets to the point that our users are unhappy with the suggestion content that was being posted, we felt like this was a good change that will help the subreddit.

Discussion Guidelines Additions:

• Posts that are only images of in-game elements (weapons, items, etc) must be in a text post with a description.

Much like the above change to the Suggestion Guidelines, the community has voiced concerns that a lot of posts are ‘spammy & low quality’ because they are just an image of some element in Fortnite that requires no effort to post and does not leave much room for engaging discussion.

• No posts where the sole focus is nostalgia. (For example: “Remember when…?” or “Remember X item?”)

There are always a lot of these posts floating around the subreddit and it just seems like these nostalgia posts are posted and reposted just to earn some easy karma rather than encouraging relevant discussions.

All pre-existing posts are grandfathered in.
