Hello everyone,

Edit: Responses to the survey are now closed. Thank you for your feedback. I shall present the results soon.

I know, I know. It’s another meta post from me!

I got some great feedback from you all regarding the race weekend post format. For Canada we shall trial one stickied post for the whole weekend. We can see how that goes and find out if it makes sense to be a little more granular.

This time I’ve set up a survey to give everyone a voice on what kind of content we should allow in this community.

The survey can be found here.

Any and all responses are welcome. Feel free to remain anonymous if you wish. I only really need your username if you’re wanting to become a moderator. Please enter any mod experience in to the last question if so. I’m not necessarily looking for experienced mods, but it’ll be great to know what experience you guys have.

I’ll leave the survey up until Wednesday 14th, with a view to formalising the rules we wish to follow after the Canadian GP. I’ll hopefully have mods on board prior to that as I’ll likely not be able to moderate during the sessions where discussion is often at its most heated.

Thanks for your time all!

    I roughly think that until we reach critical mass, we shouldn’t split too much the community. Maybe later we could ban memes, but for now I don’t think we have too many content. On the piracy side, I think it should be a 0 piracy policy, to avoid any troubles. There are many communities dedicated to (motorsport) piracy on Reddit and certainly soon Lemmy, let them handle this.

      Mostly endorse this though !formuladank@lemmy.world already exists, and I am fairly terrified of this community turning into a memey shitposting nonsense-fest because that’s considerably easier than substantive discussion. I voted to include most types of topics here, but let’s support our sister sub for memes by adding them to the sidebar and letting them have that niche.

        That’s a fair point I can get behind :)

        yeah I love formuladank, but this community would eventually be overrun if memes are allowed

        I like the different communities having different intentions

          Yeah, with you on that. Fair play to Mikey for making us actually discuss and define our intentions though.

          100%

          I love formuladank and my fellow degenerates but I also appreciate the main sub/community having a slightly more serious focus.

          Yeah I literally just finished writing the exact same thing in the survey.

          I understand the need for content but having them separate feels right.

        As someone who currently runs said formuladank community (hah), I am for splitting memes and serious content.

      This is exactly what I put in the survey. If there is any ambitions to host AMA, there is no chance with piracy discussions allowed here.

      Likewise, the most important thing for success here is growing the user base and engagement. We don’t have enough content to justify separating memes yet. This would make sense at a later stage.
