About nine months ago this lifeboat came into existence following massive purges by Reddit admins against non-establishment conforming materials. Those purges never ended, which is why this particular forum has become the overall bastion for KIA2/GG materials.
On the creation of this site we were presented a set of 16 rules which we, the users, were questioned about. Overwhelming we found that the rules were overbearing and redundant.
Many of these rules are redundant, unnecessary, or bad.
The most obvious of which is that there are THREE rules covering NSFW/pornographic material. It was pointed out by myself as well as numerous other users that these were redundant and pointless, and the assumption was that these would be changed as the rules were simply temporary.
It's nine months on.
Those are only the most egregiously obvious.
The reason I make this post today is that our rules are so open-ended and confusing that even our illustrious mods have no idea WTF they mean.
I was personally banned for a day for a rule 15 violation after which u/DomitiusOfMassilia/ admitted he misunderstood what the rule meant. Immediately after I watched him make the same mistake with another. Now, a week after, I notice that the majority of action is taken under rules 2, 15, and 16. Almost all content removals are based on slurs/bad language/insults.
This post is largely upvoted while Dom's statement of removal is largely downvoted. That's just one example. This is becoming far too common. Please do not make the same mistakes that murdered KIA1.
Note that I am not calling out Dom specifically. I think the rules themselves are dogshit tier and must be fixed. I like this community, even if I do think you're a bunch of faggots. And goddamnit u/TheImpossible1 there's no women involved here so kindly fuck off.
Can we please have a serious discussion about our rules and the impacts that they have, and FIX THEM? We do not need SIXTEEN RULES, especially when it's clear not even our mods understand them all.
KIA2 win doesn't even have any rules in the sidebar. I have absolutely no idea what the rules are since I barely use reddit anymore.
This sub does have rules. Got banned for 3days for saying they should of brought and used guns on the 6th if we were gonna be fucked either way. A glow shit rule definitely exists.
That could be a .win rule rather than a kia2 rule. I think it's technically illegal to suggest that the government should have its supposed monopoly on violence broken.
Legal stuff honestly makes me feel like an idiot, so I really don't know the answer. I was half insinuating, but also half wondering. The lack of clarity makes it extremely difficult to discuss certain topics that come up here.
Sorry, could you define? We can say faggot here, so I'm assuming it's a real acronym.
Yeah, if only conservatives allowed people to call for the violent overthrow of the government, they'd win the culture war.
Did it once, we can do it again.
Not only are the rules somewhat hidden, but rule 15 states that "a list will be provided." yet a list was never given.
Action must be taken.
Just unironic use of racial slurs AFAIK.
I was thinking the same thing. Sidebar is still empty, what rules?

The main rules are, don't promote violence, and don't speak ill of the chosen or the damned as a group. You can bitch about individuals without too much risk, though.
I am not sure we even have a sidebar.
There is one, you just can't see it because all it said was: "this a side bar". And it looked really dumb.
