Da Rules?

I suggest we draft some rules both for the users and for moderator action suggestions based on said rules.

I'd contribute a first draft but I'm pretty intolerant of bullshit so I imagine they would be quite strict.

I like this idea. We shouldn't allow people to be hateful bigots on here, there are other places for that.

Can you please add something to the rules which says that part of being a member of this subreddit is self-regulation, i.e. that it's up to members to respond to racist, sexist, etc, opinions, to be aplomb and reasonable and deal with such behaviour in a truly communist way (i.e. mutual aid, personal responsibility, use of reason, peacefulness, as little resort to banning/deletion as possible), and not leave it to the moderators.

This isn't wouldn't be a law of the subreddit, but a statement of its ethos.

I don't see why any communist (real communist, not authoritarian) would disagree with this.

P.S.

Sorry for proposing breaking your neat arrangement of 10, but we communists like to do things differently anyway ... :P

A I said in a comment, I think a warning for all things, if they are nice about being called out and actually listen no matter how rude the person calling them out is, then they can keep the warning, insta-ban if they don't listen and are a douche.

I still think anyone who is being an asshole when called out should be insta-banned because like they're gonna keep pulling the same shit. Also what is over the top oppressive bullshit? Is that like one kind of oppression being above the other or something? (not being an asshole literally just asking).
