The rules, in their words

1. Be respectful.: This is a friendly, inclusive, and relaxed community. Debate is okay, but these are not: * Prejudice or bigotry (including homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, or slurs) * Personal attacks, insults, harassment, or threats * Trolling * Leaking private messages without permission * Reposting art without a link or credit to the original artist * Similar behavior at mod discretion
2. No sensitive, political, or controversial topics: Please keep r/StardewValley free of sensitive topics. This includes: - References to political figures and media - Controversial topics likely to start arguments - Humor based on suicide, shootings, and gender- or race-based violence - Violent content - Other topics at mod discretion The following are welcome: - Social politics - Pride from marginalized identities *** [Please use content warnings and spoiler tags for potentially triggering content.](/r/StardewValley/wiki/contentwarnings)
3. Posts must be relevant, have a descriptive title, and not duplicate a recent post.: Allowed posts include: - Asking for help! - Sharing gameplay moments - Posting art, craft, or cosplay - Photos **from your life** that remind you of Stardew! (subject to mod discretion) Disallowed posts include: - Photos found online that remind you of Stardew - Social media posts not about Stardew Valley (post on r/StardewMemes!) - Duplicates of a post made within 2 months Only one **community opinion series** (bracket elimination, chart) may run at a time. Please message the mods!
4. Posts must not be a removed topic.: Posts must not be on the list of removed topics. Click the link below! #[Removed Topics List](/r/StardewValley/wiki/removed_topics)
5. No Memes.: Memes and \*humorous* tierlists may be posted to /r/StardewMemes instead! Meme discussion threads will also be redirected to /r/StardewMemes. e.g.: - `Ask me a question then edit it to make me look bad` - `Make the comments look like [character's] search history` See [*Why are memes banned on /r/StardewValley?*](https://redd.it/moas4z) for more information about this rule.
6. No NSFW content or discussion.: That includes anything pornographic, sexually explicit, or blatantly suggestive. Light sexual innuendo is okay in the right context. Please be mindful of minors in the Stardew community!
7. No unmarked spoilers, and no spoilers in post titles.: Don't reveal spoilers in post titles, and mark spoilers in post/comment text. To mark as spoiler: * In text (not post titles), write `>!spoiler text!<` to get >!spoiler text!<. * For the whole post, click 'spoiler' under the content after submission. ###What counts as a spoiler? [Click for details!](/r/StardewValley/wiki/spoilers) If you're not sure, it's better to mark as spoiler or ask!
8. Limits on promotion.: The following may not be posted directly to the sub: * Let's Plays or unofficial streams * Unofficial non-handmade merch * Selling/Exchanging items * Subreddit or Discord advertisements * Follow requests * URL shortener links These are fine: * Mod pages * Non-promotional videos (e.g.: reviews or guides) * Short clips that center the gameplay, not the player ###Self-promo is allowed in the weekly thread and in a top-level comment under OC.

9. No piracy or asking for free games.: Game or mod piracy, or any discussion of piracy is disallowed. This includes begging, torrenting, asking to trade game codes, asking for mod files, or asking for help with illegal copies. Links to purchase or download pages are fine.
10. All posts should be in English. Non-English comments are allowed.: Posts linking to non-English content are okay if they’re subtitled or otherwise accessible to English speakers at mod discretion. (Non-English comments are allowed!)
11. Flag game mods and question posts: Please flag screenshots/videos from modded saves, either in your **post flair** (`Modded`) or in a **comment** (`My game is modded`). This helps prevent confusion about what content comes from vanilla Stardew Valley and what content comes from mods. Mod content includes, but is not limited to: - NPC, building, and animal reskins - Changes to dialogue and plot - New characters, areas, items, and mobs Note: If game mods are the *focus* of your submission, please flair your post with `Mods`.
12. No IRL exchanges: Do not conduct exchanges on r/StardewValley. This subreddit does not allow exchanges of IRL goods, monetary payment, or personal information like full names or mailing addresses. We simply do not have the infrastructure to protect against scams or offer recourse for transactions that go awry. Note that **links to Etsy stores** as a comment under original content is still allowed, per Rule 8.
