Rule summary

No spam: Spam
No NSFW content of any kind: No jokes, no memes, please don't even try to mention said content.

Works well

A post asking for tips or discussing strategies related to the game Paper.io is a safe bet.
A discussion about the game's design or mechanics, keeping the content purely focused on the game, would fit well.
A helpful tip about playing the game, provided it does not violate the spam rule, is appropriate.

Avoid

Posting anything that could be considered spam because the rule “No spam: Spam” is very strict.
Including any jokes or memes that are not clean, as the rule “No NSFW content of any kind: No jokes, no memes, please don't even try to mention said content” is enforced.
Attempting to promote a product directly, since the policy brief states promotion is banned because spam is not allowed.

What To Avoid
