How To Submit (Sexually) To Reddit Gaming
wardrox | 7:21 AM on 02.20.2009 11 comments




As you may have noticed, Destructoid went and had unprotected sex with Reddit and we appear to now be fostering a child. The important thing is NOT TO PANIC. We're young, inexperienced and might drop it, kill it and all go to prison. BUT DON'T PANIC. Just follow my advice and we might just survive long enough to see it through puberty.

What is this “Reddit” of which you speak?

Reddit is a social news site. People submit news and other people comment on it, vote it up or vote it down. It has a very different feel to Digg because you can put anything on there. Forum threads, pictures, basically, anything. There are also sub-reddits.

On Reddit, everything is split up into roughly a bazillion sub-reddits (eg; gaming, coffee, jailbait). These are all user run and range in size from the huge, to the tiny. Every user subscribes to whichever ones they want, allowing you to tailor your experience perfectly.

Great! Let's put all our shit on reddit gaming!
No. Don't make me bitch slap you. Reddit gaming is awesome and doesn't need your shitty cblogs clogging up the place. We may have a partnership going between the two of us now, but that doesn't mean you get special treatment. Lurk Moar as the internet saying goes.

I you want to have your stuff read by more people, firstly you should start using Reddit. Learn what people like, what they don't like and the best practices. If all you do is post your own stuff on there, I'll ban you in the crotch. I has the technology. Reddit gaming is a huge community with nearly 40,000 subscribers and we don't want them to get pissed off with us (more than they already have). They are a cynical bunch.

Fine, I'll not be a douche
Good. I'll let you submit stuff.

Once you've worked out the inner workings of the Reddits (and are done fapping yourself dry over the NSFW sub-Reddit) it's time to submit. As I say, only submit things that you think the wider audience will like. No in-jokes or bullshit. Also, do feel free to submit stuff from other websites, they do exist (apparently).



Head over to the submit page (above). Fill in the URL of whatever you're submitting and then add the title. Your title should basically describe what the link is going to. Once done, hit “submit” and ZOMG it's done.

Don't get neurotic about the up and down votes. Most stuff gets downvoted at first. Also, DON'T spam you're Reddit submission link to people to try to get extra up-votes. They have a very cunning spam detection thing which may smack you in the ass. And we don't (all) want that to happen.

Can I have a sexy up/down vote thing on my cblog?
Yup. There are a load of different buttons you can use. Pick the one you want and put the code into the “embed” bit in your cblog. E.g.:



And that's it! Well, that's not everything, but you can pick up the rest easily enough. Any problems just get in touch, I'll be happy to help.

Also, cocks.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

about me

OMG GAMES.

I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.

The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.

Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07
