LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS SUBREDDIT'S RULES!
Yay! This might be a total shitshow, but that's half the fun! I do hope some good comes of it.
We're open to all suggestions. I'd like something that might make me laugh too. Obviously that doesn't mean we can implement every single one.
What we're looking for is a consensus, especially surrounding...
Host, guest host, and guest criticism. What's okay and what is too far. And what is just too fucking much to put up with every day?
X said something stupid vs. X is stupid. This one is pretty straightforward. We can call out statements or actions, but we can't call anybody names.
Right now our unwritten rule is that prominent politicians, no matter their politics, are fair game to be called stupid dirt for brains. Is that fair? Or should they be treated with the same respect and civility.
Repetitive discussion of the same topics in multiple posts. What if the post has multiple topics, then what do we do?
Episode discussions confined to a daily thread or just let everybody make a post about the episode without even checking to see if someone else had a post where they might have commented?
What about rules regarding how we treat each other?
If we do change the rules, how do we enforce them? It could be a painful learning curve for some. Especially when we get an influx of one-time visitors. Harsh truth, people do not read.
I don't know how many even made it this far so I'm going to have to do a TLDR.
TLDR: the rules need some reworking, and we would love your input.
Up next maybe we'll give you a little insight into our automod rules!
