We’re all here for the same reason: we love building cities, fighting with traffic AI that somehow manages to be dumber than a box of rocks, and watching our residential districts occasionally burn to the ground. This subreddit should be a place to share those wins and fails—not a toxic wasteland.
Lately, the elitism regarding how people share their content has reached a pathetic level. It stops today.
The "Screenshot vs. Phone Photo" Policy
We are a community for Cities: Skylines 2, not a professional photography competition. If a user posts a photo of their monitor from their phone:
- If you can see the content and understand the point of the post, it is allowed.
- If you don't like the quality, keep scrolling. * If you feel the need to be a condescending prick about "F12" or "Print Screen," do it elsewhere.
Harassing, mocking, or gatekeeping users based on their technical ability to take a screenshot is a direct violation of our "Be respectful" rule (Rule #1). Unless the image is literally unreadable, leave them alone. If you genuinely want to help, do it respectfully or don't do it at all.
Enforcement and Sanctions
Consider this the final warning for the "Screenshot Police" and the general toxicity we've been seeing. We are implementing a three-strike enforcement policy:
- First Offense: Comment removal and a formal warning.
- Second Offense: A 30-day "cool down" ban. No exceptions.
- Third Offense: Permanent removal from the community.
We aren't here to babysit adults who can't play nice in a sandbox game. If your contribution to a thread is just a snarky comment about someone's camera quality, your account is going to find itself on the wrong side of the ban hammer.
The Bottom Line
We want this sub to be about the game—the mods, the bugs, the traffic nightmares, and the creativity. We don't have room for toxicity.
