r/baseball Rules

1

Be Civil to Others

All users must abide by the rules of reddit. The following will not be tolerated:

Trolling, threatening, harassing, or inciting/advocating/encouraging violence.
Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise intolerant or inflammatory language.
Fanbase attacks and personal spats outside of friendly team rivalry and normal fandom banter.

Any rule violation can result in a warning, temporary ban, or permanent ban.

2

Create High-Quality Content

Low-quality content will be removed. This content is generally allowed in comments, or in the daily Around the Horn discussion thread. Low-quality content can include:

Easily searchable or AskReddit questions - r/MLBNoobs
Memes, jokes, GIFS, etc
"Piggyback" posts
Topics not related to baseball
"Tired topics" providing no added value
Duplicates, reposts, or overlapping posts
Low-resolution videos or images
AI-generated content like artwork, images, or text creations

3

Post with Clear and Satisfactory Titles

Posts with inadequate titles will be removed. Titles should not be editorialized, sensationalized, misleading, vague, ambiguous, or intentional clickbait.

Users should try to use the title of the article/video as the title of the post.
Exceptions are allowed for clarity.
Titles must specifically express what will be found in the post. Links must include context that is understandable to fans of all teams.
Posts removed due to an inadequate title may be re-posted with a better title.

4

Create High-Quality Breaking News Posts

Breaking news posts must follow these rules:

Link directly to the source, not an image or screenshot.
Include names of all teams, significant players, years, and dollar figures involved in the title if possible. It is acceptable to refer to "prospects."
Use first initials for common last names.
Originate from reliable source like a baseball journalist, media personality, or reputable site like MLBTradeRumors.
Create additional value to other posts rather than piggyback/duplicate.

5

Create High-Quality Posts from trusted and user-friendly sources

Posts to r/baseball should come from a trusted and user-friendly source. We feel confident that breaking news and other share-worthy content can be found from sources like from MLB.com, ESPN, The Athletic, FanGraphs, MLBTR, Bluesky, etc.

The use of X/Twitter is not permitted (including screenshots).

6

Create High-Quality Video Highlights

All video highlights should be of the highest quality possible.
The highest quality video highlights include an accurate and descriptive title with any context necessary to understand what is happening, the full play (beginning to end), and a replay of the play.
If multiple posts of the same highlight are posted in succession of each other, the highest quality post will be kept and the others will be removed. This decision can be affected by the discussion in the comments.

7

Create High-Quality Game Performance Posts

Posts about a player or team performance must include the stat, event, or context IN THE TITLE.
If a two-way player's pitching performance is complete but the game is not over, include batting statistics in post body only.
For a pitching or batting line, the player's performance must be complete.
Do not make posts for no-hitters or perfect games. The bot will post automatically after six innings.
Do not make "cycle alert" posts unless batter already has the 3B complete.

8

Do Not Spam

Spam will be removed. "Reddit defines spam as "repeated, unwanted, and/or unsolicited actions, whether automated or manual, that negatively affect Reddit users, Reddit communities, and/or Reddit itself."

Making an excessive number of posts in a short period of time is spam and will be subject to removal, warnings, and bans at the moderators' discretion.
Posting numerous articles that revolve around a specific agenda or cause in a short amount of time can be considered spamming.

9

Do Not Use r/baseball to Advertise

Self-promotion on r/baseball is allowed only with the explicit, prior approval of the moderators.
Self-promotion means submitting content or products to r/baseball that is designed or created on/for another site.
Follow Reddit's site-wide guidelines on self-promotion and the "Am I a spammer?" guide from Reddit if you are unsure.

10

Create High-Quality Post-Series Threads

If a user is creating a post-series thread, it must follow these rules:

The title must be descriptive of the teams involved and the outcome of the series.
The self-post must include a line score and the result of each individual game.
A flawless example of a post-series thread can be found here
Moderators reserve the right to choose the highest quality post-series thread.

11

Create Accurate Elimination/Clinching Posts

A team's elimination/clinch is post-worthy only if it meets one of the following criteria:

The team is completely eliminated from the playoffs.
The team clinches a playoff position.
The team clinches a division.
The team clinches the top overall playoff seed.

Any elimination/clinch post that is due to scheduling and not by elimination number requires a full explanation in the body of the post.

12

Follow Paywall Guidelines

Users may submit and share links to paywalled content but should not:

Provide access to content behind a paywall in any way, including re-hosting content to other sites or posting content in text posts/comments.
Request that others provide access to paywalled content.
Share or request links to game streams.

13

Follow In-Season vs. Off-Season Guidelines

During the MLB season, we enact more strict guidelines to not detract or bury in-season content. The following kinds of posts are allowed only during the off-season:

Hypothetical questions
Fan art, projects, and general memorabilia
Birthday/Anniversary Posts
Pictures of ballparks, players, fans, selfies, foul/HR balls, or fixtures around the ballpark
Posts about baseball video games, books, movies, and media
Polls and surveys

14

Miscellaneous Rules

Content from the following categories will be removed:

URL shorteners in posts or comments.
Posts or comments soliciting any kind of donations (e.g., GoFundMe), including those for charities.
Sales and exchanges, including memorabilia and tickets.
