    I moderate a 100k+ subscriber video game subreddit. We try to promote higher quality posts by not allowing low-effort content to be posted to the subreddit. We'd monitor the /new queue to make sure that no low-effort memes make it out alive.

    It's a weird situation though, because the game series is effectively over, which means we're sort of in a permanent "off-season" mode. There's less original discussion to have since there's no new material, and most posts are either people playing the games for the first time or fan art.

    The policies we used for moderation worked very well back when the series was more active, but over time, I've found them to be less impactful. That said, we still restrict low-effort posts and I think it does make an impact on the type of posts that people make to the subreddit.

    As for challenges, the only real challenge is making sure that I'm objective in removing things considered "low-effort." It's difficult to quantify "effort" and I'd hate for people to think their post is only allowed or not based on favoritism.

    As someone looking to start a similar thing in the future, do you make the art yourself, or did you find someone to draw for you?

    I suppose I'm technically an amateur game developer. I design TTRPGs and board games in my free time, but I don't usually think of myself as a developer. I feel like "game dev" specifically relates to video games but maybe I'm wrong.
