rule 2 added

Political Discussion and CommentaryEnglish • 2 months ago

I’d like to be as transparent as I can with the rules. Rule 2 was added …due to recent events.

If anyone has any suggestions for preemptive rules or modification to existing rules I am open to any changes, please suggest them here.

But that being said you should balance criticism with something constructive as a suggestion.

So if I say the United States is a racist genocidal state, I should balance it with a constructive suggestion like “The United States should stop being a racist genocidal state”.

Is that what you want?
