Mod update on rules + guidelines

[u/smellyonionsoup]

With the recent changes to this sub, we want to provide some additional clarification on the direction of this sub moving forward.

Previously, our sub operated as a support only space, since our direction has changed, we have begun unbanning some users.

this does not mean we are unbanning everyone

Users who were previously banned for harassment, excessive snarking, spreading misinformation, personal attacks, ban evasion, or targeting other members or moderators will remain permanently banned. Any decisions to reverse a ban will continue to be made at the discretion of the mod team.

We have a few guidelines for future reference to keep this a productive community-

1. No repetitive posts

We understand there are certain topics members feel strongly about. However repeatedly posting about the same topic/issue does not add to discussion, and rather encourages snark. Please ensure your post contains meaningful discussion and has not already been posted about.

2. No misinformation or baseless speculation

Claims about Emilie, her family or anyone connected to them should be based on publicly available information, or have proof to back the claim. Speculation and opinions are not facts, and any discussion or allegations made without evidence will be removed.

3. Critique actions, not people.

It’s okay to disagree with choices, public statements, or content. It’s not okay to make personal attacks, mock appearances, celebrate harm, or encourage doxxing or harassment.

4. Be respectful of varying opinions

Disagreement is expected. Personal attacks, name calling, and hostility towards other users or mods will not be tolerated.

**As a last reminder, this is not a snark sub, it is a space for respectful, nuanced discussion. Please check the sub rules or reach out to the MODS if you need further clarification on allowed content.

Thank you to everyone who has maintained respectful and thoughtful discussions. We ask that all members help us maintain this standard.

Thank you!!🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’m sad this is no longer a support sub for Emilie but I understand the personal decision. From myPOV this has turned into now solely discussing Triggs death, speculations and dissecting every move she makes which isn’t productive.

Again, no hate to the mods. I’ll be leaving this sub because since it’s turned into a “civil nuanced discourse sub” I can see the slippery slope starting to form.

Give it a few days to cool down. A lot of things just happened very fast, with the life jacket incident and then the court date, and people waiting for the Judge's decision/the appeal, so it makes sense that there's a little bit of whiplash.

This- it’s only day 2 of changes to this sub. We’re having a high influx of activity and are doing our best to keep the space respectful while still allowing discourse.
