"Update on the status of the sub"

#PokemonGO: Welcome back every one, hope all you great trainers had a wonderful Christmas.The sub is now open again and life can resume. Image posts have been reinstated, and automod will now dm every post linking users to the rules of the sub, and mentioning the 2 most violated rules here, 2B non AR ingame screenshots posted directly, and rule 3, cheating.Previously we did not ban for non AR violations as it was a formatting rule. After careful consideration, and attempts to curb formatting violations in other ways, with automod, stickied posts directing users to rules, complete lockdown of images etc, we have decided rule 2b violations will now receive short bans.We don't want to stop users from posting their screenshots, but unchecked they simply overwhelm the sub. Rule 2b is the compromise for that.All that said, we strongly encourage users to read the rules of all subs they frequent, and the stickied posts of said subs (im looking at you 50 some odd people that requested permission to post during our Christmas shutdown).I will make an example post for how rule 2b is to be followed tomorrow and link it in the rules and this stickied post for some greater clarity.We appreciate the input from all the users and mods on how to deal with images, and hope these new actions will bring a better balance of types of posts to the sub.Now go and catch them all trainers! via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3nKXTjj
