r/SpaceCraftGame rules, stats, and what to post

This is the official subreddit for SpaceCraft, the game developed and published by Shiro Games. People come here to talk about the game itself, share artwork, report bugs, give feedback to the developers, and ask other players questions. The community wants posts that are directly about SpaceCraft or Shiro Games, and it expects everyone to behave civilly and treat each other with respect. If you are a founder or marketer, understand that this is a player community first. It is a place to join conversations about a game people care about, not a place to pitch anything.

The rule that decides everything for a founder is “Promotion Guidelines”. It says promoting and advertising is strictly prohibited, and that covers social media accounts, products, and services. It even says it does not matter whether the content belongs to the person posting it, so you cannot get around it by sharing someone else's promo either. “Relevancy Guidelines” is the second gate, because every post must be directly related to SpaceCraft or Shiro Games and must carry a relevant flair, and incorrectly flaired posts get removed. “Frequency Guidelines” matters if your topic has already been covered from nearly the same angle, since those posts can be removed. “Feedback Guidelines” is worth knowing if you want to criticize the game, because criticism is allowed as long as it stays civil, but non actionable feedback and blatant hate are not. “General Guidelines” sits over all of it, since low quality content that adds nothing to discussion gets removed at the moderators' discretion. Finally, if you ever touch artwork, “Artwork Guidelines” requires you to credit the artist, and “Hacking/Piracy Guidelines” bans any pirated or hacked content outright.

A good post here starts with the game, not with you. Share something you actually experienced in SpaceCraft, like a question about a mechanic, a build you tried, or a moment that surprised you, and write it like you are talking to other players. If you have feedback for Shiro Games, make it specific and actionable, meaning you explain what is not working and why, not just that you did not like something. If you found a bug, you can talk about it, just do not teach people how to exploit it. If you want to share fan art or concept art, name the artist and link or state the source in the post. And whatever you post, pick the flair that matches it before you hit submit, because the wrong or missing flair gets the post removed.

The fastest way to get removed is promotion. Do not post links to your product, your service, your social media accounts, or your game, even if you made it yourself, because “Promotion Guidelines” bans all of it with no exceptions. Do not post anything about hacked or pirated content, including torrents, free full game downloads, pirated keys, pirated mods, or third party market resellers, because “Hacking/Piracy Guidelines” bans promoting or enabling all of that. Do not post artwork without crediting the artist, because “Artwork Guidelines” says those posts get removed. Do not post vague complaints or pure hate about the game, because “Feedback Guidelines” only allows civil, useful criticism. Do not repost a topic that has already been covered from the same angle, because “Frequency Guidelines” removes duplicates and frequently posted questions. And do not skip the flair, because “Relevancy Guidelines” requires one and removes posts without the right one.

What stands out to me here is how airtight the promotion rule is. It does not just ban self promotion, it bans promotion of anything by anyone, which tells me the moderators have seen every workaround and closed the door. My honest read is that this community is not a marketing channel at all, it is a place to be a player first, and the only path in is to show up with something genuinely useful or interesting about SpaceCraft.
