Hello all,
I wanted to take a moment to address the recent influx of posts relating to 3D and first-person mods for Project Zomboid, including Project Viewpoint, PZ3D, and other similar projects.
We understand that a lot of people are excited about these mods, but we also need to ensure that the subreddit remains functional for everyone and that there is room for a variety of topics to be discussed and shared.
For that reason, we will be enforcing Rule 9, our Meme Saturation rule, with regard to posts about 3D/first-person mods.
Going forward, if there is already a post about a 3D/first-person mod on the subreddit front page, we will generally remove additional posts about these mods. If you want to discuss or share something relating to one of these mods, please use the active thread rather than creating a new post.
This applies to Project Viewpoint, PZ3D, and other mods of a similar nature. It is not intended to prevent discussion of these projects, rather it is intended to prevent the subreddit from becoming dominated by repeated posts about the same subject.
If you're unsure whether something warrants a new post, please don't hesitate to send us a ModMail and ask. We would much rather clarify things beforehand than remove a post after the fact.
Please also keep in mind that, despite the number of moderators listed on the subreddit, the team actively moderating the community is relatively small. We may not always be available to deal with things immediately, so we rely heavily on user reports. If you see a post that you believe should be removed under this implementation of Rule 9, please report it. This helps us enormously.
Finally, we'd like to address the tone of some of the recent discussions surrounding these mods.
Rule 2 applies to everyone, regardless of their opinion on 3D mods, and we take it seriously. We have already had to issue a number of warnings and bans as a result of personal insults and hostile behaviour.
You're absolutely welcome to disagree with one another, including strongly disagreeing. However, please keep discussions respectful and focused on the subject rather than the people involved. Personal attacks and insults will be actioned.
Thanks for helping us keep the subreddit usable for everyone.
