Operation Health – Subreddit Edition

Hello EFT community.

​

There's a couple of things we need to address, firstly this will be the new subreddit mod shared account, used for announcements posts so that all of the mods have access and can update stickied posts with new information, updates and so on.

​

Secondly, after a couple of days of discussion last weekend Bxx has agreed to step down as head moderator of the subreddit. We all wish him the best and thank him for everything he's done for the subreddit. Along with Bxx, we had two other mods subsequently step down due to having other commitments. After a group vote, Zavodskoy will be taking his place as head mod going forward.

​

While the order of the mod list changes very little for you and most of you probably don't care, we need to start being more open with you guys about how we're running the subreddit and this is the first step of many.

​

There's going to be a bit of turmoil over the next couple of days / weeks while we get everything sorted our side and get re-setup, I know we haven't earned your trust but please be patient with us while we get this sorted.

​

We're currently in the process of looking into and re-writing the rules and we aim to relax and tweak them as much as possible, people should be able to discuss current and relevant topics freely and openly. We lost our way over the years and we can only apologise for that but we want to improve.

​

As of this post we will be removing the video and image guidelines under rule 2 from the subreddit rules and will be re-enabling direct image uploads. This means things like loot pictures / videos, scav errors, handing in quests, weird daily tasks etc will all be allowed without needing to be accompanied by text.

For now we will still require text alongside suggestion posts but that is also something that is open for discussion and not a set in stone rule

And as a reminder: We have relaxed rule 7 to allow for open discussion regarding cheating and related topics without needing proof. We have also relaxed rule 2 regarding rants and complaints needing substance. The aim is to allow people to criticise the game, BSG and BattleEye or call out parts of the game or design decisions they don't like without also having to provide constructive criticism or "substance" but we will still be removing posts that are abusive and are nothing but insults regardless of who they're aimed at.

​

Alongside any discussion you feel is relevant please leave us feedback on what rules you want tweaking or removing and if possible why you don't like that rule / section of a rule.

​

Thank you, The r/escapefromtarkov mod team
