:warning: Read Before You Play! :warning:

These are the official community guidelines for Video Games Amino.

By being a member here, you're expected to read, understand, and follow all rules listed below.

Breaking these rules can result in warnings, strikes, or permanent bans, depending on the severity.

Let’s make this a safe, fun, and respectful place for all gamers!

1. Be Respectful – GG, Not BG

Treat everyone with respect. No bullying, harassment, hate speech, or toxic behavior. We're all here to enjoy gaming—don't ruin someone else's experience.

---

2. Keep It PG-13 – Age Matters

This is a 13+ community. No NSFW (not safe for work), explicit language, gore, or overly violent content. If it wouldn’t fly in a PG-13 movie, it won’t fly here.

---

3. Spoiler Alert! :rotating_light:

If you’re sharing spoilers (story, gameplay, endings, etc.), always use a spoiler warning or cover image. Let others enjoy their journey too!

---

4. No Spamming – Don’t Be That NPC

Avoid flooding the feed with the same posts, unrelated content, or clickbait. Keep things relevant to gaming.

---

5. Post Original or Credited Content

Share your fan art, clips, memes, or thoughts—but if it’s not yours, always give credit. Don’t claim others’ work as your own.

---

6. Stay On-Topic – It's All About Games

This community is for video game discussions, fan creations, and game-related content. Off-topic posts may be removed.

---

7. No Self-Promo or Ads Without Permission

No advertising your YouTube, Twitch, Discord, or anything else without mod approval. We love creators, but respect the space!

---

8. Respect the Mods – We’re Not Final Bosses, But...

The moderation team is here to keep the peace. Follow their guidance and don’t argue in public threads. If you have concerns, DM politely.

---

9. Use Trigger Warnings

Posting something that might disturb or trigger others (like horror, dark themes, or intense scenes)? Use a warning cover and give a heads-up.

---

10. Have Fun and Make Friends!

This is your gaming haven. Share tips, challenges, show off your skills, and most of all—have fun leveling up together!
