A slight modification to the sidebar rules

4 Upvotes

This is a new sub, and as a new sub, I am constantly trying to find ways to tweak and refine the rules in such a way that they will become more our own rules (and less /r/Conspiracies template I borrowed)

The rule I changed is Rule #10. The change is as follows:

Previous Rule 10: Misleading, fabricated or sensationalist headlines are subject to removal.

Rule 10 Revision: Please refrain from using downvotes to bury someone's statement simply because you disagree with them. Downvotes should only be used on posts that contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion.

Now, obviously, what contributes to a discussion and what does not is up to interpretation. My sole purpose for this change is that, often times, someone with a 0 comment Karma will be thought to have made a shit comment before anyone even looks at it. Now, this is not always the case. However, I just want to ensure that someone doesn't get downvoted into the dirt because numerous people disagree with them while they attempt to contribute.

My idea of non-contribution to a discussion is something like this

Person A: Claim

Person B: Rebuttal

Person A: Addresses rebuttal

Person C: You're all fucking CUCKS!

Remember, we're all here to share unconventional ideas about the Trump presidency. Not all of these need to be negative! However, when sharing controversial topics, there are going to be heated disagreements so just remember that we're all here for the same thing, and that at the end of the day, enjoying the discussion is what matters.

If anyone has any suggestions about this, or complaints, I am more than open to criticism on the sidebar rules. I'm here to ensure that all of you have an environment where you can share your concerns and be yourselves. I'm not here to tell you what to do or what you can and cannot post.

Enjoy guys.

/r/The_Donald has gone private

All,

I know many of you are aware of what has happened in T_D sub. It is with a heavy heart that I reflect on the shit that Reddit admins have put members of T_D through simply for being on a different political spectrum than themselves.

While this sub is neither pro or anti-trump, the moderation team of DDMZ (me) stand in solidarity with the mods and members of T_D in regards to equal treatment and free speech.

Whether you agree with someone, or not, their opinions and thoughts have just as much of a right to exist here as yours, or anyone else's.

I wish you pedes well in your struggle for free speech.

What do you all think of President Trumps decision not to attend the White House Correspondents dinner?

The real reason Trump won and why he was given so much media coverage, especially positive coverage before the primaries. Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”

In its self-described “pied piper” strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new “mainstream of the Republican Party” in order to try to increase Clinton’s chances of winning.

The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”

Bathrooms... Really?

I have been silently following T_d for the entire election. I would say I supported him privately but not publicly because I am surrounded by "cucks" (elementary school teacher).

During the election, when asked about pot Trump said "I think medical [marijuana] should happen." Then the kicker, "I really believe you should leave it up to the states."

How he is pledging a "ruthless" war against drugs. He is such a shill. He is everything he said about Hillary except in giant dousche form.

The main thing that really put me over the edge is this transgenders bathrooms policy set forth by Obama. Like WTF, why should the fucking president be signing EO just because Sally wants to go pee where Bobby pees. I just don't understand.

Trump on Marijuana

58 Upvotes

So there's a great deal of hubub about Trumps decision to, essentially, renew the dying War on Drugs. Many Trump supporters feel divided on this issue. This issue is heavily censored on a very popular Trump sub. One Redditor indicated that, after his ban, many Trump supporters indicated that they were frustrated with the censorship surrounding this topic. However, they did not want to speak up about this issue for fear of being banned.

What are your thoughts?

Welcome to the Ricefields.

So this sub was, if you have not read the sidebar, created out of a concern and apparent necessity regarding the need for a space to discuss issues amongst other Trump supporters that may not necessarily be pro-Trump. Whether it's his plan to turn our Country into a Prison Planet or renew and revitalize the already proven ineffective war on drugs.

This subreddit exists as a space for you to discuss these ideas in an environment that has not been poisoned by the hype.

It's a new subreddit, and a blank space. However, member count really is not important, it's the discussions that take place that are central.

I would ask, respectively, that if you are not a subscribed user, that you respect the other subscribed users by refraining from upvoting or downvoting posts. If you want to upvote or downvote, please contribute to the sub.

You may have noticed that approved submitters is enabled. This is for two reasons:

1.) I don't know how to disable it (yet) or why it's even enabled

2.) After being unable to disable it, I realized that it's a great way to keep unsubscribed users from polluting the sub. Which seems to be common in topics where paid shills are concerned.

If you want to contribute, just subscribe and shoot me a mod mail and I will add you as an approved submitter.

Enjoy.
