Changes highlighted in italics:
- Instance rules apply.
- [New] Be reasonable, constructive, and conductive to discussion.
- [Updated] Stay on-topic, specially for more divisive subjects. Avoid unnecessarily mentioning topics and individuals prone to derail the discussion.
- [Updated] Post sources whenever reasonable to do so. And when sharing links to paywalled content, provide either a short summary of the content or a freely accessible archive link.
- Avoid crack theories and pseudoscientific claims.
- Have fun!
What I’m looking for is constructive criticism for those rules. In special for the updated rule #3.
Thank you!
EDIT: feedback seems overwhelmingly positive, so I’m implementing the changes now. Feel free to use this thread for any sort of metadiscussion you want. Thank you all for the feedback!
I didn’t see that one, but in the recent posts there is “bro wake up, seven new laryngeals have dropped” and the xkcd about “going to”.
Oh yeah, I forgot about linguistics_humor - even though I’m subscribed already. That does make sense.
Ah, got it - I know which posts you’re talking about. Same deal, except that both have more room for discussion.
