The sidebar is now updated. I'm going to leave this post stickied for a few days just so everyone can hopefully get on the same page.
The new rules are not set in stone, but hopefully they will do a fairly good job at setting the tone for the community. Thank you again to everyone that contributed to the revision.
If you have suggestions for updates, additions, or deletions, please know that you can always send us modmail.
You guys did more to benefit the community in a few days than the previous asshole did in 5 years. It's still unclear where the line regarding violence will be drawn but since you guys plan on gentle corrections rather than dropping the hammer I'm not too concerned. As for DOM, good riddance. Fucking off is the best thing you've done for community in half a decade. You will not be missed.
Lol thank you. I take a more forgiving view of Dom's tenure, but all that being said I hope healthy growth will now be possible with a fully staffed mod team.
Did you guys get around to relaxing the community filter? That's probably the biggest obstacle to growth. Keeping something in place to make life difficult for the pajeet is a good idea but shadow banning all new accounts is strangling the place.
BandageBandolier is working on it. Meanwhile, we can see all the shadowbanned comments and manually approve them.
