Hey there! This is obviously a community in the vein of the reddit Hobby Drama subreddit, but I wanted to check in to see where we want to draw a few rules as a community. So to that end:
REPOSTING FROM REDDIT
I did see a few people were interested in having a bot auto repost from the reddit sub and most of our posts are reposts. My question here is should we have an anything from another site (reddit or otherwise) is fair game to repost with proper credit (let’s try to keep those links back to original write-ups, I feel this is only fair to the authors) rule or should permission be obtained from the author first for reposts (basically like r/bestofredditorupdates on reddit)?
DRAMA RESOLUTION WAITING PERIOD
The reddit sub has a 14 day waiting period for drama to conclude before a post can go up. As we’re obviously a smaller community I don’t see the need to be as stringent, but waiving the waiting period could lead to a lot of biased hot take posts. Would the community like to see the waiting period waived, lowered, remain?
ETA: this post is open for discussion until 7/24 so please do add your opinion even if you feel “late” to the discussion! It’s my goal to have the community rules updated by Friday 7/28 to fit our community a little better and knowing how our community feels as migration from reddit continues to take place will be a big assist.
That’s true. I totally forgot HD used to have a bunch of mini update posts before the rule was instituted. Since no one seems to mind 14 days we’ll probably just keep it at that then. I’ve seen people complain about it on the HD subreddit, but if no one over here minds it then no reason to change it I think.
