r/LivestreamFail

Can you post your project here?

The subreddit "r/LivestreamFail" does not have explicit rules detailing how to post a side project or product launch. The existing rules focus on harassment, quality control, spam, and restricted content within the context of livestreaming.

Before you post: While there are no direct rules for product launches, posts must adhere to general quality and off-topic guidelines. Content must directly relate to livestreaming, official streamer news, or significant gaming news. Avoid spam, misleading titles, or content that incites drama.

The rules, in their words

1. Harassment: Civility: Do not attack other users. Name calling, ad-hominem, inflammatory, or other uncivil comments directed at other users are not allowed. Report violations to the moderators rather than engaging and violating this rule yourself. General attacks towards public figures (streamers) are not as harshly moderated. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
2. Harassment: Death & Violence: Comments threatening or advocating for violence, harm of any kind, or death are prohibited. Similarly, comments expressing extreme indifference towards, celebrating, jokingly or hyperbolically suggesting, wishing or hoping for violence, harm of any kind or death are prohibited. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
3. Harassment: Discrimination: Attacking or making inappropriate comments on people based on inherent or cultural characteristics, including but not limited to: - Gender - Sexual Orientation - Disability/Physical Traits - Race/Ancestry - Nationality - Religion Civil discussion regarding such topics is acceptable, but attacking someone using these characteristics is not. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
4. Harassment: Unsourced Allegations: Making unproven claims or allegations against someone with the sole intent of fueling or creating drama or damaging the public reputation of said person is not allowed. Allegations carry the burden of proof; if making such a claim, we require you back it up with evidence in the same post. Allegations made by parties outside of the subreddit may be posted from a purely journalistic point of view. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
5. Harassment: Speculation: Avoid speculating on and disseminating personal information that may be sensitive or private. For example, streamers' private relationships, mental health information, family issues, financial struggles, etc. Additionally, clips that are designed to spin up speculation or drama around a streamer's private life will be locked or removed, depending on its intrusiveness. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
6. Harassment: Out of Context Content: Do not post clips, quotes, tweets, etc., about public figures that are taken out of context with the intention of harassment, inciting vitriol, or spinning up drama. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
7. Quality: Duplicate Submissions: Duplicate submissions will be removed to keep the subreddit fresh. This also applies to clips announcing the same thing but via different mediums (Tweets, News articles). The submission we keep will generally either be the clip with the best timing, or the clip posted first. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
8. Quality: Title Guidelines: Titles that contain harmful misinformation or misleading titles where it's not abundantly clear that they are a joke, are not allowed. Additionally, submissions whose titles contain excessive caps, emoji, exclamation marks, etc., will be removed. For posts on controversial topics, we strongly recommend using a quote, or be as accurate as possible about what is happening in the clip. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
9. Quality: Old News: For content quality purposes, and to prevent spam, content that is 14 days or older should not be posted. Exceptions will be made if new information alters the relevancy of an old clip. See our full rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/wiki/rules).
