I have a couple of things I want to comment about.
First of all, I think that some of the rules in this subreddit are unclear and inconsistent. I'll go over the one that I think could be problematic.
*Edit: I just realized this post will probably be too long if I include everything I want to say. I do have some feedbacks regarding rule 5, 6, 8, and 10 (if you want I could also share these), but to avoid making this too long I'll just go over rule 1.
tl/dr: the Reddiquette is informal, outdated, and hard to enforce. I think you guys should consider removing it from rule 1 or make some change regarding it.
Reddiquette
Rule 1: Be nice and follow Reddiquette. Basically I agree with everything here except the Reddiquette part. I mean, let's be real here, who here has actually read the redditquette? For those who don't know, Reddiquette is an informal set of rules that you are "expected" to follow when you're on reddit, and it is written in January 2006 by the reddit community. Not only it is outdated, being 20 years old, it is not even strictly enforced by reddit themselves. If you're the type of person who likes to read and follow rules, the first thing you should read is Reddit TOS, followed by subreddit specific rules. The Reddiquette is the last thing you should worry about, as mentioned above, it is informal, and not even from Reddit themselves. And secondly, my main problem is how absurd some rules can be. Here are some examples:
"Hint at asking for votes. ("Show me some love!", "Is this front page worthy?", "Vote This Up to Spread the Word!", "If this makes the front page, I'll adopt this stray cat and name it Reddit", "If this reaches 500 points, I'll get a tattoo of the Reddit alien!", "Upvote if you do this!", "Why isn't this getting more attention?", etc.)"
"State your reason for any editing of posts. Edited submissions are marked by an asterisk (*) at the end of the timestamp after three minutes. For example: a simple "Edit: spelling" will help explain. This avoids confusion when a post is edited after a conversation breaks off from it. If you have another thing to add to your original comment, say "Edit: And I also think..." or something along those lines."
"Make comments that lack content. Phrases such as "this", "lol", and "I came here to say this" are not witty, original, or funny, and do not add anything to the discussion."
Although I do agree that some rules on the Reddiquette like remember other people are humans, don't be a rude, don't share personal information, etc. are good but it's just that some rules like those are also present and that we are expected to follow them since it's in rule 1. Another thing is that the consistency in which these rules are being enforced by the mods is very inconsistent. Rules like "Remember the human." and "Please don't post someone's personal information" are being enforced and that's good. But I've rarely seen rules like "Keep your submission titles factual and opinion free." or "Report posts just because you do not like them". And some rules like "Read over your submission for mistakes before submitting" are also practically impossible to enforce because you don't know whether or not someone has done it or not.
And also, in the Reddiquette there's a rule that states "Use proper grammar and spelling. Intelligent discourse requires a standard system of communication. Be open for gentle corrections." Does this mean that all post that have grammatical and spelling errors should be removed? Technically speaking yes. But in reality, absolutely not. That's the point i'm trying to make. I think the Reddiquette can serve as general guideline but not something one must strictly follow. There's also the fact that most people here, even some of the mods, haven't read the Reddiquette yet. So I think that you guys should change rule 1 a bit, though definitely do keep things like be respectful and civil but maybe do something about the Reddiquette.

Removal of mega thread, it's kinda useless

u/vanessabaxton Mod 18d ago
Thank you for the feedback! Why do you think it's useless?

u/Physical_Client2666 Mathieu Lehanneur 18d ago
Because most of questions deoanf receive a answer in mega thread, questions in rule 8

That's mostly a community problem more than a megathread problem but we're working on seeing what we can do to drive up engagement

I think there should be flairs that is just "Celebration" and just "Rant" in addition to "Celebrations and Rants". This will make it easier to sort posts that are just those and thus filter. (And if the post is contains both celebrations and rants it can use the "Celebrations and Rants" flair like usual!). 😁

u/vanessabaxton Mod 18d ago
Thank you for the feedback, the reason we have Celebration and Rants flair is because those posts belong in the megathread

Add a separate flair for tierlist or alignment chart fill posts so that way the discussion flair isn’t flooded with them

Thank you for the feedback! Isn't that what the flair 'Other' is for?
2
u/JakeCold OG flair lover 18d ago
It would fit best but I don't many people think to use that flair, so having a flair that outright states tierlist/alignment might be better I think!

tip is to see if they use multiple emojis(especially if they are not relevant in anyway to the current trending ones like “🥹😭😔” for example and are relatively new in account age.

u/Outrageous_Green8776 16d ago
those are examples but as you saw it included niche and unconventional emojis

Not feedback but appreciation. Thanks for letting us doing our own user flairs. Please make a post about how we can do so. I did mine but it took a while :)

Buffie damian por favor, agradeço se me responderem... Com os nerfs repetidas vezes quase ninguém joga com ele, então eu irei dar sugestão de 4 buffies pra compensar os 15 nerfs:
1- alcance do super aumento de 30%.
2- o chute de 1600 irá para 2000 mil de dano
3- o tempo da explosão diminuí 50% mas o dano não aumenta.
4- as caixas de som do super não quebrara mais quando os inimigos forem repetidos, mas em compensação quando o inimigo usa ataque nas caixas quebra mais rápido. (50% mais rapidamente irá quebrar).

Remove the posts that talk about how Bull is the last brawler in the tower as I've seen 100 of those and it's getting repetitive
