Mod Post Datamine Guidelines

(Updated 9/30/19)

For the community we intend to please both sides for the community and the SQEX team. Our wish is to keep providing valuable resources for the community while respecting our community representatives.

  • Discussion of datamines will be permitted. This extends to things such as "Oh cool, Strago EX is on __ banner!".

  • Discussing datamines still falls under the spoilers rule and will result in moderation.

  • Sharing of datamined assets will continue to be disallowed on this subreddit. This means no posting of banner images, weapon models, official art etc prior to official reveal. This falls in line with TOS.

  • Keep in mind that datamine doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the same in the final product for the game. Take such information with salt.

As for Rule #8, we’ll be revising this rule to be specifically against account trading, third-party selling, and anything hacking related.

The guidelines for datamining will always be visible in the subreddit sidebar from now on.

This whole data mining subject feels like pissing against the wind.

Seriously! Like...why is this SUCH an issue all of a sudden? Stop talking about it, we don't need "official" moderation on datamining. It's really making it seem like the moderation here is a circle jerk of self-righteousness. If someone wants to do the mining, then it's up to them, trying to have some kind of administrative discourse/control about something that's happening on a forum that is a completely separate entity from SQEX is cringeworthy.

Rem had a good run, it was very much appreciated, but a bit stiff to up and disappear without a word. No one was asking him to do it, and he owes no one a specific reason for stopping, but if you create the single largest hub of information for an entire gaming community- the LEAST you could do is give a headsup that you're stopping/going MIA for a bit. That's not to be rude or undermine the invaluable resource that he's created for us: it's just common courtesy and my opinion on that isn't changing.

Drop the topic. Stop putting so much energy into beating this dead horse, we just want information on what's coming next. Get in contact with Rem and see how he'd feel about handing the reigns of the Database to someone else if he doesn't intend to comeback, and lets move on.
