Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Oh, that's bad. I didn't know they would block VPNs. There was an option to detect unique users, and I chose by IP (but with option Anonymize voter data). For anyone else, I guess the comment section is the only way to express opinion then. Edit: Why the downvote?

Downvotes because you decided to block VPNs... Thats what "by IP" most likely does

But this was just an explanation. Why downvote an explanation? I did not decide to block VPNs, in fact I thought it is possible to vote multiple times by using the option "by IP". It's the first time I used this website. And by looking at it again, I can see there is an option that says "Block VPN users" and I simply did not see it when creating and left it the default option. So blocking VPN users is an accident here, because of my incompetence, not because I decided to block them with intentions.

I use VPNs myself often, especially with YouTube, and would not wanted to have them blocked here. My apologies.

I found out there is a setting to unblock VPN users. Please try again, I hope this works now. It was not my intention to block!
