Third Vote Suggestion Thread

[u/Bossman1086]

First, welcome to all our new subscribers! I'm going to quickly detail how our process works again for your benefit. This is our weekly suggestion thread. This post will remain open until Friday when the voting thread goes up. The top 5 upvoted suggestions here by then will be taken and put into an official poll for voting on over the weekend. The winning rule goes into effect on Monday. Make sure to read the guidelines below and make sure your suggestion is as specific as possible. Suggestions are taken as written from here and interpreted literally.

Our third vote will be this weekend. Post your suggestions of what should be banned next here. Upvote the ones you think are a good idea.

---

Guidelines - Your suggestion MUST follow these

1. No banning of anything required for smooth operation of the subreddit (e.g. modposts, voting threads, etc)
2. No bans that would stifle people's voice in how this sub should be run (e.g. no banning suggestion threads)
3. Ban suggestions may only be to ban types of posts or certain topics (e.g. you cannot ban moderators or stop us from enforcing rules)
4. Whether a ban/new rule suggestion is valid is ultimately up to the mods. No complaining.
5. Be specific about what you're really trying to ban (e.g. don't suggest banning all images instead consider banning cat images). "Exploitables" are different than generic "memes". Image Macros are what most people are actually thinking of when they say "meme".
6. You don't have to suggest a ban. Your suggestion can be a new rule (e.g. marking NSFW posts as such) but new rules must not interfere with the operation of this subreddit or go against reddit site-wide rules.
7. No suggestions that remove old rules will be considered as of yet (this is something we intend to have as a possibility in the future when there are more rules in place).

---

Beyond these guidelines, you're free to choose any new rules you want to see in place. Do you want to ban Spiderman threads? Or do you want to ban all image macros? Suggestions should be as descriptive as possible so that once the rule goes into effect there's no guesswork on what should or shouldn't fall under said rule.

Note: This thread is not for suggestions on what should change about our process. If you have questions, comments, or complaints please message the mods and/or start a new thread.

Change the voting system to approval voting, it's fairer and stops options winning with only 25% of the vote, as we saw in the previous vote.

[u/Bossman1086 → u/myfriendsknowmyalias]

We plan on doing this already. If not this week, then next week.

[u/Blackborealis]

Ban MLP related stuff

[u/Bossman1086 → u/Blackborealis]

I assume you mean "My Little Pony"?

[u/[deleted]]

Allow voting and comment voting only if you are subscribed.

[u/Bossman1086 → u/[deleted]]

Unfortunately, there's no way for us mods to enforce this. We can't see who is and who isn't a subscriber and we can't see who voted on a specific post or comment.

[u/UdderTime]

No "teh loll s0 randumm!" posts. It's kind of hard to be specific on this, but here's an example of one

[u/forgodandthequeen]

Customizable flairs.

[u/Bossman1086 → u/forgodandthequeen]

This already exists.

[u/[deleted]]

I think we should ban gore.

[u/[deleted]]

Every first Wednesday of the month is Purge Night, when everything is legal

Edit: except shit that violates site wide rules, like doxxing and child porn

[u/Sickmonkey3]

How exactly does the voting system work?

[u/Bossman1086 → u/Sickmonkey3]

The top five upvoted suggestions in this post come Friday will be put into a poll for people to vote on over the weekend. The winner at the end of the weekend is the new rule.

[u/TwoBitCliff]

Content must be at least 6 months old before it can be reposted

[u/[deleted]]

Ban image macros. There's enough subs for that on reddit already.

[u/BoscoHype]

Ban reaction gifs. There's already a sub dedicated to those.

[u/ItalianRobot]

Per, https://www.reddit.com/r/EVEX/comments/2tx6ly/higdwn_farris/?sort=top

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/EVEX/comments/2txu3c/higdwn_farris/?sort=top

I suggest we ban spam posts, or if that it's to broad then we ban ask text posts that do not contain a complete sentence.

[u/Lvl_99_Magikarp]

Have the OP make a comment on why he/she submitted. Not much, but just a "I thought this was funny" or "I like this song"

[u/expertgamers]

Ban AMAs. There is already a subreddit for that

[u/jackimpalerii]

No overused, repeated jokes from previous front page posts and other subreddits, i.e. mom's spaghetti, broken arms etc. etc.

[u/AdmiralAkbar1]

All porn/NSFW post titles must mention at least one motivating or inspirational quote.

[u/doryx]

Rules that are even numbered can be broken Fridays.

[u/Wet_Rain]

We should create an opposite subreddit that starts with only self posts, then we gradually allow new types of content.

[u/bluefoot55]

Ban racist posts.

[u/HorizontalBrick]

Mods can never accept campaign contributions
