I just had this drawn to my attention on Reddit<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A subreddit for\u00a0Outside<\/em>, a free-to-play MMORPG developed by Deity Games and the most popular game, with 7 billion+ active players.<\/p>\n

Currently NOT looking for other moderators<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Guide to good comments\/submissions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Remember,\u00a0it\u2019s not a bug, it\u2019s a feature<\/em>. It\u2019s a lot more fun to explain something if it isn\u2019t written off as a bug.<\/li>\n
  2. There are no NPCs. Aside from animals, everybody is a \u201cplayer\u201d.<\/li>\n
  3. The devs are lazy and rarely do much. The game is mostly balanced as it is according to them, therefore they don\u2019t do much aside from \u201cnatural\u201d world events.<\/li>\n
  4. The game is mostly run by the players. All in-game items and rules are determined by players, not mods or devs.<\/li>\n
  5. The players are responsible for in-game events. The devs are responsible for \u201cnatural\u201d events. So stop begging the devs to add in a new type of car. It\u2019s player-made.<\/li>\n
  6. There are no \u201cin-game moderators\u201d; thereare<\/em>\u00a0players with more power than the average player. Police officers, lawyers, politicians and the like are other players. They aren\u2019t technically moderators.<\/li>\n
  7. Terms to avoid:<\/strong>\u00a0mods, DLC, hacks, glitches, cheats, textures or anything similar<\/li>\n
  8. NO MEMES.<\/strong>\u00a0Advice animals, or variants thereof, will result in a ban.<\/li>\n
  9. When in doubt, ask yourself, \u201cdoes my post make this sound like a cheap World of Warcraft\/Everquest\/UO ripoff?\u201d If yes, it probably shouldn\u2019t be posted.<\/li>\n
  10. Avoid top-level discussion of the game; don\u2019t discuss stuff like in-game settings or options.<\/li>\n
  11. The moderators of this subreddit reserve the right to remove any post for being too far off from these guidelines. This includes submissions that follow the letter of the guidelines, but not the spirit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
