Pictures of the Switch
Perhaps some kind of message about Animal Crossing Items how to post screenshots could help? I really don't think they ought to be prohibited altogether, but there is just no reason anybody should be taking a picture of the screen in 2021.

Something that disturbs me in a great deal of gambling subreddits is"I purchased the thing!" Posts reaching huge amounts of upvotes. However, there are some really talented artists out there making exquisite fanmade merch, which should not be ignored. I want to say that perhaps merch posts should be restricted to the people who actually made the items, but that may cross into self-promotion too much.
Official merch definitely does not need to be part of the subreddit. This should be a place to show off things we've made, both in and outside of the sport, and also to discuss the sport as a whole.
Just lots more prevalent occurrences. When you've been here almost every day for a year, you get tired of seeing"[villager] spitting fire!" Because yet another participant is getting the"hating pineapple on pizza is trendy" conversation. And while it is mostly not a concern since winter is pretty much over, I got reeeeeal sick of seeing screenshots of misshapen snowboys saying"What. Is. Going. On." Yeah sure that was amusing that the first 10 days it happened in early December. Not too much in mid-February. I enjoy knowing what's coming so that I could best prepare for it. The only thing which bothers me about time-traveling is when somebody posts about"finally" achieving something that's simply possible through time-travel, such as getting all the zodiac products, but we are pretty much beyond the point of being a problem today. When someone posts about a villager seeing their grandma's memorial, by way of example, I just consider it as posting about how they feel their grandmother is using them, and it is a happy thing.
This was not motivated but I want to find some type of rule about frequency of posting. It is not often, but occasionally somebody will post a thread, get a little bit of traction, and then come back a couple hours later with a"followup," and another, and another... simply put everything that you want to show people in the very first thread. Articles within 24-48 hours is just overkill karmawhoring.
Oh, and remove blatant reposts of top-scoring articles in the sub. I really don't care if they claim they watched it on Facebook, it was just on our front page a week ago (which is likely the way the person on Facebook saw it and posted it), and Animal Crossing New Horizons Bells for sale in general I think there should be a"in case you did not make it, prevent posting it" rule.
