Don’t take the short title too seriously; I could have said ‘encouraged’ instead of ‘enforced’, ‘rules’ instead of ‘habits’, whatever.
The point being, this is still a relatively small and young site where cultural change is possible. This opportunity doesn’t often come back. So, what culture do we want to have here?
Opening example: some sites require as a rule that a posted image must have a source or actor name given if it’s not OC. Myself, I sometimes intentionally avoid any compilation videos which don’t give sources, because I know it will take me down a hours-long rabbithole of discovery. Sourcing is already a global Community Guideline here, which is good to see.
Posts must match the context of the community.
Like no topless posts wearing underpants in a pussy community for example.
Haven’t seen it get out of control here yet, but it’s madly out of control at Reddit with mods actively not caring about it.
Why have categories if posters are going to ignore them.
Trimming dead posts regularly.
NSFW communities have an interesting quirk which is that a large number of people sort by top all. If you find a new community, you want to find out what is the best it offers. You do this typically by sorta by top all.
However, with people deleting posts, or links breaking, top all is sometimes plagued with empty posts, and it can be frustrating trying to explore this new community, especially if it’s more niche.
I’d love some sort of verification for OC so at least we know if we are dealing with the actual person or some guy in a call center posting pics for 3 cents an hour
Go back to Reddit it you want censorship.
(I’m just joking guys, I know censorship here is just as bad.)
Hah, there’s always a time and place for chaos, but there’s also power and convenience in having a useful consistent format and metadata.
And that’s not censorship - the only suggestion so far which actually would restrict expression is the “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say it” one. The rest are just saying “please add this extra information ([M/F] tags, sources)” which is almost the opposite of censorship, or removing obsolete dead links.
For original content: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.
