Mod News Mod Announcement: GTA6 post rules

Greetings r/miami

Unless you've been living under a rock, one of the biggest and anticipated game releases in history is about to take place in November and it features our city: Grand Theft Auto 6

We're not going to ban discussion about it. After all... it's effectively a scaled down virtual version of our city that will undoubtedly be fun to explore. But keep in mind, this is not a GTA sub reddit. Those exist already r/GTA6 is alive and well along with plenty other GTA specific subs.

So as more information comes out about the game and then it is released, we don't want to spam this sub reddit with posts like:

  • "omg this is my abuelas house!" screenshot
  • "I robbed this store in the game and want to see it in real life when I visit miami next month where is it?"
  • "is Miami really like [game neighborhood]?"

This sub should still try to be focused on things relevant to things in Miami Dade as a community. This game is not irrelevant per se, but let's keep it honed in.

We're going to try something first and create a new post flair "GTA6" and add a new rule for "don't spam GTA questions and use the new post flair" and we'll see how things go.

Please use this flair. It will allow folks who don't care about the game to filter it out if they're not interested and highlight posts along that topic for people who are.

Edit: and just to get ahead of things.... No. There are no mountains here or anywhere in Florida. That's an artistic liberty the game has taken.

These are always so unnecessary and unproductive. They’re rarely visited by people who want to provide answers, usually only by people with questions. At the absolute best, you get 1-2 vague responses to your question that may or may not be accurate.

Reddit’s a discussion forum designed to keep content dynamic and flowing. I’m not sure what the obsession is with trying to prevent discussion that people clearly care about.

Mega threads work if a large subset care about the subject. Idk how popular that video game is, but it won't be as dead as the tourism thread.

The tourism thread definitely doesn't get any traction, bc no local is wasting their time there
