"Rule Reminder! Users old and new, please read!"

#PokemonGO: Good day trainers!We are coming to you today with this reminder regarding our rules. Users old and new should take a look at this post as a review never hurts. Today we’ll be talking about Non-AR screenshots, 3rd party applications/services, and posts without PoGO assets/direct connections to the game.Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of posts that violate some pretty basic and well established rules. The first rule that is still broken daily is one that’s caused a lot of discussion since the game’s release; I’m talking about Non-AR screenshots. Non AR screenshots are screenshots of the game that are not using the Augmented Reality mode. Our rule currently states that only link post screenshots we allow are AR ones. All other non-AR screenshots must be inserted into a text post. If you don’t do this, your post will be removed.Our next rule that we want to go over is rule 3 regarding 3rd party applications and services. As you all know we have a hard stance against cheating and promoting it in our subreddit (whatever you do or use on your time is on you but don’t post about it here). However, we’ve been seeing an influx of users recommending 3rd party services in our subreddit. That needs to stop as we explicitly do not allow that behavior. You may think that the service or app you are using is fine because it’s not violating the TOS, well to that end we’d like to share this tweet from Niantic support.Tweet from Niantic Support regarding 3rd party application support. So TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR, OUR SUBREDDIT DOES NOT ALLOW THE NAMING OF ANY 3RD PARTY APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES. If you do this, you risk your posting/commenting privileges in this subreddit.Finally, I want to talk to you about link posts that aren’t directly connected to PoGO/aren’t using assets. Our subreddit has a history of users posting anything and everything to do with pokemon, but that’s not acceptable. We require that the content of our link posts have an easily identifiable connection to the game(includes some kind of asset from the game or has some reference to something that can only be found in the game as opposed to being a generic pokemon thing). So when you make a link post make sure that connection is easily seen; don’t go posting a picture of a bison saying “Look a Tauros IRL”, it will get removed.Thanks for reading and for being awesome members. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2DVqfjL
