Hi there.

A short introduction: This is an alt account. I’m a moderator here who has been unhappy with the state of news/political discussions here for a long time. The admins have kindly given me the opportunity to see if we can make some improvement the community here.

We will be doing some major revision of the rules left by the previous moderators and will use discussions in this thread as feedback on the direction we should take our community.

This will be an open discussion on the state of our community, the rules and our moderation practices. Feel free to give your inputs.

    You give me too much credit.

    Check the amount of abuse Jordan Lund has gotten recently from spam accounts on our site modlog, and you should understand why I choose to make an alt instead. Among other reasons, of course.

      It’s the Internet, you’ll get death threats and abuse for posting a cat gif or saying you enjoy pineapple on pizza.

      At the end of the day, these are anonymous accounts and you’ve gone beyond even that and it’s concerning.
