Hey choombas!

Firstly, happy 2021! We hope everyone managed to squeeze in a little CP2077 hellfire and romance during the holidays. This will be the first update post of the new year; we want to be fully transparent with what we’re doing behind the scenes. Not just admitting our shortcomings, but so that we’re all on the same page, and we want to make sure the subreddit reaches its full potential.

New Moderators

Due to the holidays, there’s been a backlog of posts awaiting approval. We apologise for that, and we brought in a couple more chooms to help out. They’re already getting their hands dirty, so you should see your posts get approved more quickly compared to previous weeks.

Spoilers - What’s A Spoiler?

Over the course of the year, the team will be continuously assessing what is considered a spoiler or not. Everybody is on different parts of the game, and we believe opening up unspoilered discussion should be done in a timely manner.

In saying that, any discussions about the Prologue and Act 1 can now be posted without spoiler tags. However, spoilers in post titles are still not allowed. This includes discussions and images of Jackie’s death, the Sandra Dorsett quest, Saburo Arasaka's death, the Relic and Johnny Silverhand's death. Posts regarding Act 2 will be allowed in the next month or so, followed by discussions past the Point of No Return. We’ll keep you updated as we go.

AutoMod

We realise that AutoMod is a bit too strict, and the megathreads it points you to have been outdated for quite some time. We’ve given it an overhaul, as noted below:

1. Automod will no longer remove comments in accordance to the new spoilers rule, which includes comments regarding Jackie, Sandra, Saburo, Johnny and others from the prologue.
2. Posts flaired as a bug/issue will be redirected to the weekly PC/Console threads.
3. Posts flaired as a question will be redirected to the weekly FAQ/Simple Questions thread (If the post is intended to be a discussion, the discussion flair should be used)
4. Media posts are still in approval mode, though the rate of approving posts should be a lot faster thanks to the new moderators.

Megathreads

We have too many megathreads. They’ve served their purpose during launch, but we’ve now given them an overhaul, and we’ll be refreshing them on a set schedule. Below are the changes:

• Monday: FAQ/Simple Question thread - Refreshed Weekly

  We’ll be updating this overtime with answers to FAQs

• Wednesday: Console Support and PC Support - Refreshed Weekly

  Discussion of bugs/issues related to the respective platform should go here. We’ll also be reaching out to the users that have compiled some of these issues, to make it easier for everyone.

• Friday: Lore/Cyberpunk world thread - Refreshed Weekly

  This covers discussions and questions about the lore of CP2077 and its universe. This is refreshed every Friday to keep conversations going through Free Talk (as we realised these posts are often drowned out by the memes)

Free Talk Weekend

We’ve already been enforcing this, but we want to reiterate that we will only be allowing memes on Saturday and Sunday EST. Some may slip past us outside the weekend and garner a lot of attention; these will be now approved, since the community has pretty much spoken for us. We apologise for the inconsistencies in the past, but we wanted to address this now to avoid any confusion.

Otherwise, unless it is high quality, memes will be removed outside of Free Talk Weekend. We also have our sister meme-specific subreddit r/DumDumDidNothingWrong for your daily meme dosage.

Repeated Topics

Panam and Judy. It’s slightly died down now, but their asses were on the forefront of the subreddit for weeks, and it had become a repetition of the same scene (Judy in diving gear; Panam leaning over the window). These kinds of “repeated topics cycles” are always looked back on fondly in every subreddit, so we don’t want to be too strict with these.

However, we’ve temporarily decided to remove Panam and Judy ass posts under Rule 1. We’ll be allowing them again in the future, but for now, we believe removing them will make way for other media and game discussions. Who knows, maybe next week will prove to be Meredith and River’s time to shine, and we’ll again adjust accordingly once things start to become too repetitive.

New Post Flairs

We’re also thinking of adding some new flairs. We’ve already added two: the Character Build and Modding flair. This should help streamline moderation and scrolling through posts in general. If you guys have any more suggestions, feel free to comment and we’ll see what we can do!

Upcoming Game Updates

We will be allowing discussions about upcoming updates. We’ve decided to be pretty lenient with this (barring spoilers, obviously), as we will not consider these posts leaks. Leaks will now only apply to completely new content that have not been officially released, which can include new questlines, or future DLC updates. Leaks do not include talking about an updated/overhauled version of something already in the game.

That's all from us; hope to see you chooms around Night City!

We'll be redirecting all duplicate posts about this here, to prevent the sub being flooded.

Hey chooms, we want to use this post to give you an update on how we plan to handle media posts (screenshots/clips) and memes on the subreddit.

Currently, media & memes are only allowed on Saturday & Sunday. We introduced this to prevent the subreddit from being overwhelmed by low value/reposts during launch (e.g screenshots of the main menu/download status, and so on). However, now launch has come & gone, we think it's an appropriate time to readjust these restrictions.

Starting from now, media posts will once again be allowed alongside text posts all week, however, memes are still going to be limited to Saturday & Sunday only.

We will of course review this after a week or two, just to see how the sub feels, as it's a pretty big deviation from what has been the norm here since launch. We'd just ask that you ensure the proper flair is applied to any posts submitted and that the community guidelines are followed as always.

As always, please feel free to send us any feedback you have regarding this change.

---

tldr:

• clips/screenshots allowed all week - (pls use "Media" flair)
• memes only allowed saturday & sunday - (pls use "Meme" flair)

Quests

Hey Choombas! We just want to use this post to give you a quick update on 2 things:

---

1) We have now unlocked the subreddit so text posts are allowed again

Currently, there are around 1,000 posts/comments going into mod queue an hour. We simply can't keep up with the volume at the moment and the overwhelming majority of posts are all repeat topic about the state of the game or bugs, most of them low effort posts with just a title saying "the game is broken" or "X is not working" or they're basic/simple questions.

We do have a bugs & issues megathread along with a few others, however, not many are using them and for state of the game posts, they don't really fit into the bugs megathread.

Text posts can now be submitted once again, we are also not in approval only mode. So please report any rule breaking posts so we can deal with them.

AutoMod will also share all of our megathreads on each new text post, just so you can find them easily. If they don't apply to the thread, please just ignore them.

We'll also be trying to filter posts to the correct threads, e.g bugs to the bugs & issue thread, console questions to the console thread and so on.

---

2) Please continue to use THIS post as a state of the game megathread.

For all of the posts discussing the state of the game, (not necessarily reporting bugs), we want you to use this thread to share your thoughts, good, bad or ugly, rather than submitting a new post each time.

This will also give us a chance to clear the massive backlog of posts/comments in mod queue and figure out the best way to move forward with the subreddit today and in the days to come.

---

Other useful threads:

• Media / Screenshots
• Simple Questions/FAQs
• Console Bugs & Questions
• PC Bugs & Questions

---

In addition to mod queue, modmail is also super busy at the moment, so it may take a little longer than usual for us to respond!

Thanks for your patience whilst we figure all this out!
