Be kind, disagree agreeably, attack the argument, not the poster

If you disagree with someone's stance on something, be it what they collect, what games they like, etc. Please keep it civil. You can have a disagreement without calling people names or being rude. Turning something into an argument takes away from what the sub is about. This is a bannable offense, please be awesome to each other.

No Price evaluations, authentication, identification posts

All posts regarding the following have to go into the megathread:

• price evaluation
• authentication (fake/legit checks, "what version is this?")
• "good deal/is it worth buying/grading?"
• identification
• similar posts

The Megathread is pinned to the top of the subreddit (when browsing by "Top" on Old Reddit), or located in "Community Highlights" on Reddit Mobile.

Promotion of items or services is forbidden.

We do not allow promotion of goods or services of any kind without prior approval from the moderators, unless it is from approved channels. Please message the moderators via ModMail first prior to posting your material.

This includes, but is not limited to marketplaces like marketplaces, YouTube, socials, referrals, apps, subs, etc.

Any attempts to self-promote without approval from the moderators will be seen as spam, and will result to the restriction of your account from our community.

Low Effort or Duplicate posts will be removed

The following posts are deemed as low-effort and not allowed under Rule 4:

• consist of screenshots of marketplace listings
• look at this price I paid/got someone to pay
• 'member this game/console/accessory?
• digital game collections

Submissions of low-effort posts are at the mods' discretion.

Duplicate posts will also be removed if there is a Mega Thread for discussion of a specific topic or if the general question or topic is something common that can be easily searched for.

Meme Mondays: memes allowed only on the first monday of each month

If you have a meme, or a joke post, or something you think is on the line of being a joke post. Please wait until the first Monday of the month to post. If you are generally unsure of the post, please contact the mods using the "message moderators" and ask us.

Must be related to Game Collecting

Just because it is related to video games, doesn't mean that it is related to game collecting.

No video submissions/comments

Videos are not allowed. If you feel that your video has value to the subreddit, please message the moderators using ModMail prior to posting.

This includes, but is not limited to: collection tours, history of games and franchises; and speculative drivel about the future of gaming.

Repair/mod videos are unlikely to be approved, unless they are deemed as relevant information by the moderators.

If the video you are sharing was produced by yourself, this will be removed under Rule 3.

No affiliate links

We are not here for you to make money. Do not post affiliate links, or links to a company/person who you are affiliated with and stand to make monetary/social gain from.

Any attempt to share affliate links will be seen as spam, and will result to the restriction of your account from our community.

No buying/selling

Do not post items for sale, or ask to buy items from others in their post. Please post your "for sale" items to a subreddit that is dedicated to that.

No politics

No discussion of politics, no posting anything of politics in title, imagery, or in the post in any way. (country/state/county/pride flags do not count). This is subject to mod interpretation.

Taking advantage of, or taking focus away from, the general ethos of the subreddit.

There are times a person or person will post, comment, or argue on the subreddit that will pull focus away from (purposefully or maliciously) the atmosphere and/or culture we have. That is rage baiting, arguing semantics, discussion of things that are off topic for lengthy back and forths. This also includes organised and concentrated attempts to belittle, planning to engage with malicious intent and harassment across different platforms.
