Like any good online community, we need a clear content policy and rules for how we intend to enforce it. I’ve started us off with a few placeholders, but I’d prefer that the community weigh in.
What types of posts do you want to see in this community?
What types of posts do you NOT want to see in this community?
How harsh a moderation policy do you want to see, both for posts and comments?
Those are just some starter questions. Let me know what you think. Offer your suggestions for the community’s rules.
I would say one of the biggest problems with r/politics was that anyone with a right-of-center take would be bullied and shouted down. The moderators were known to be heavily biased as well. If you allow content from across the political spectrum you should also try not to favor a certain side in moderation.
