Pittsburgh Steelers
Rules for c/steelers
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
- Shit-posting (Irrelevant/Low Effort Content)
All posts must be related to the Pittsburgh Steelers ranging from player/coaching news to fandom/merchandising. Low effort posts, memes, or "shit-posts" can be removed at the moderator's discretion. Rumors and speculation posts that are misleading may also be removed at the moderator's discretion.
- Being a Jagoff (Disrespect and Civility)
Be nice, respect others. Keep it civil. Don't be a damn Jagoff.
Everyone is here for enjoyable Steelers content and to participate in the community. Just because you disagree with someone's opinion, it doesn't give you the right to bash, insult, personally attack, show sarcasm and/or be rude to others.
Follow the golden rule and don't be a jagoff.
- Banned Subjects
No discussion of politics or religion. If it's controversial, yet related to the team (e.g. Anthem Protests), the mods reserve the right to keep or allow the content if it is relevant.
- Prejudice and Discrimination
Hateful comments are NOT tolerated. No racism, sexism, misogyny, prejudice, discrimination, etc. of ANY kind. /r/steelers is an equal community for all to browse and enjoy. The assessment of any report that may violate this rule will be done at the moderator's discretion. Severe violations of this rule will result in a permanent ban.
- Fantasy Football Topics
Posts regarding fantasy football will be removed. Comments regarding fantasy football are allowed, yet regulated. The moderators aim to keep discussion based strictly on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Illegal Content
No links, questions, or self-posts about illegal content. This includes counterfeit merchandising or use of copyrighted material.
- Self-Promotion
All self promotion that includes blogs, podcasts, videos, highlights, websites, etc. are not allowed before clearing your submission with the moderators through mod-mail. If you are not an active participant in the /c/steelers community, you will be denied and/or your submission removed.
- Flame-Baiting and Trolling
Content that may offend or anger users including insults or personal attacks are not allowed aka "Flame-baiting". Regardless if the OP has the intent to troll/flame-bait or not, such content is prohibited.
- Game Day Posting
Mods are in charge of all game-day threads. Any attempt to create a gameday thread will be removed. All posts during a game will be removed outside of fandom and newsworthy posts. All thoughts, comments, and opinions are to be kept inside the game-day thread.
Due to popularity, there is ONLY ONE allowed "upvote party thread" and can only be done in a self-post. All other attempts at vote manipulation and low effort posts will be removed. Player and coach discussions, post-game are allowed.
- Trolling Opposing NFL Communities
Going into an opposing team's subreddit and causing problems such as flame-baiting or generating negativity amongst their community WILL get you banned from /c/steelers.
When you represent the Steelers and their flair, you are identifying yourself as a member of the large and expansive Steeler community. Trolling opposing subreddits slanders your name and gives a bad reputation to the rest of the Steelers community who do not deserve to be labeled as such.

True, Potter for sure could end up being places on someone’s squad. Most of the other guys really seemed to be fringe players though. Maybe they have interest from other leagues?
