Welcome to the /r/gunners 2020/21 Season!

It feels like just 34 days ago we were watching Arsenal lift their 14th FA Cup, and yet it was actually 35. But you know what they say, we go again!

First off, some house keeping.

1. Our official Fantasy Premier League code is snhhmt, you can also join by clicking this link.

2. Please join us on our official Discord server. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the rules on the server and enjoy yourself.

3. Please do not message moderators directly, make posts to the subreddit, or tag mods in comments if you have issues. The best way to get in touch with us is via modmail

4. Please do not post full paywalled Articles. Both the Paywalled sites and the Admins have slowly got more aggressive with their copyrights. Remember, you can post key points and such in the comments, however anyone posting the full text (or asking for it) will have their post removed and risks a perma ban. We do this as reddit has shown in the past they’re not afraid to completely ban a subreddit for repeat copyright strikes.

Now for the rules. The majority of these are the same as before, but it’s important to familiarize yourself with them. As always, the final decision is up to moderator discretion.

Rules

1. Respect other community members. Please remember there is another person on the other side of your conversation. Disagreement is a vital part of discussion, however you can disagree without downvoting or flaming on other people's opinions. This means that NSFW content, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism or other offensive language is not permitted.

2. Follow Reddiquette.

3. Submitted content including kit information, ticketing information, match day experience, or Streaming/DL sites will be removed. This information can be found in the Wiki or by searching previous posts. If you believe your question still hasn't been answered there, please message the mods about creating a post

4. Low quality posts such as memes and image macros may be removed.

5. Blog submissions are permitted as long as they provide quality, creative and original content. Low quality content (basic match previews, summaries, rumors, etc) will be removed. This includes advertising websites without permission.

6. Please keep all content Arsenal related. Unrelated content will be removed. This includes low quality posts and appreciation threads. We get it, that one player did great today, we don’t need 100 threads about every person on the pitch

7. Don't forget the discussion tag. When creating a post for discussion make sure to start it with [discussion] tag. Threads tagged as discussion will follow rules similar to other subreddits with these tags, where low-quality comments and jokes can & will be deleted with no reason necessary.

8. No politics

9. No trolling other subs

10. Transfer news tiers! This was added during the summer and has been relatively successful. The current tier list can be found in fancy image form here.

11. No posts showing editing of Wikipedia pages for players linked to Arsenal. They add literally nothing to the sub and encourage Wikipedia vandalism, which is just a pain in the arse. Violating this rule will result in a ban.

12. Posts which are links to tweets must have a title (as un-editorialised as possible) relaying the information in the tweet - this is similar to the line-ups rule we already have. Ideally, please follow the structure [Tweeter: "tweet"] or ["tweet" - tweeter]

13. Pre/Post/Match Thread guidelines

    1. Pre-Match threads generally go up 0-36 hours before the match.

    2. Any thread titled match thread? (or similar for pre/post threads) may be deleted for low effort.

    3. If there is no match thread don't forget you can request one by clicking the button in the sidebar. If there are issues with it please message the mods.

    4. Post-Match threads go up after the match (not the 89th minute).
       4.5 There is some automation with the post-match threads now, hopefully that will help.

14. Line-Ups MUST be in the title of the post and any repeat posts will be deleted.

15. Anyone spamming the subreddit with quotes from any press conference or article will risk being banned. Post the original source or at the very least the entire twitter thread.

16. News Aggregators are only allowed for Foreign Sources, repeatedly using an aggregator to post information from a source we deem tier 4 or lower puts you at risk for being banned.

17. It's not official until it's on arsenal.com.

18. This isn't r/coys.

Remember: These rules are linked in the sidebar, it's up to the users to familiarize themselves with the rules before they post. If you disagree with a ban then message the moderators
