I've been away doing Christmas stuff and I come back to see new is 99% shitposts, with only my own post and the one before this not being one.

It's not even shitposting, it's just spam.
In some thread somewhere our janny mentioned a potential requirement for >1 month account age to get posting privileges. Something like that could work, although I'd replace it with a comment karma threshold because that's somewhat harder to do, but either way, I don't think there's an automod available here like there is on reddit, and without that, it doesn't really matter because the spam is still going to keep shitting up the frontpage until Domitius gets to it, and we can't expect him to be here 24/7. (Can we?)
Oh and if we're potentially restricting post privileges, how about finally FIXING THIS CLUSTERFUCK OF A RULESET?!
You'd need a tranny janny for that and trannies ruin everything, so no. I'm down for restricting posting privileges, maybe with the ability for established members of the Faggit subs to ask for an exemption if they join here.
Yes, this is long overdue. We don't need to appease Spez and his troon harem anymore. The only rules that should be in place are ones needed to keep the TheDonald people out of legal trouble.
Spam is trying to get people to click shady links (we've had a lot of that in the comments lately), posting everything bad Trump has done is leftist shitposting.
Can an automod even work here? I'd recommend account age and comment karma together, otherwise they just create accounts and leave them dormant until the time passes.
With this place as my home page, I'm probably here more than anyone, except when I'm banned and change it to MGTOW again.
4 & 5 should be one rule. 13 needs a better definition. 14 should probably be moved down to 3 posts a day, even if that would probably hurt me more than most people here. 16 needs to be relaxed a little, but not so much that this place becomes ConPro with people unironically spamming "gas the kikes" and thinly veiled variations.
IMO rule 14 should be based on account age and karma. Keep it at 1 or 2 a day until say 1000 karma and 3-6 months of account age, then go up to 5. There's no reason to be too restrictive on people who have proven that they can be trusted not to shit the place up. I don't know how feasible that is without automod though.
adding on that many rules is a slippery slope... the 'best govt' is a minimal one, and all that.
Just like reddt. jannies, spammers will find a way... I think its better if we more aggressively downvote the garbage content, and if more of us post the quality gaming news.
ACTUALLY NO. DOM CAM YOU ADD A FLAIR SYSTEM PLEASE? THAT WILL SOLVE THIS VERY QUICKLY
This site isn't really active enough to browse on anything except new, so downvoting doesn't do much. The problem is that Dom only has so much time to devote to being a janny, and most of that has to be spent on the Faggit sub where it's in constant danger of being nuked. As I posted in response the to the OP restricting the faggot to one account and enforcing rule 14 as is would be a massive improvement, since it's clearly the same retard on multiple alts evading that rule.
Yeah but these troons are posting like 4-5 posts about the exact same thing, that's just spam.
Regarding automod... well, I don't think communities.win has one built in. In theory it shouldn't be a problem to build one ourselves and run it externally, but I ain't doing that.
The rules are ridiculous. I see Dom is doing 0-day nukes for spammers, which is the right thing, so why do we have all this crap?
Most of them fall under buckets of illegal (already covered by ToS), spam, or anti-botting measures.
Of the remaining, Rule 16 is used to delete too much content. But although I get that this isn't a free speech forum, a lot of it falls under anti-brigading measures already being utilized so we could have some leniency here.
