I've created a list of rules as below, they will likely change later, but they are here for the purposes of establishing a base level of social order:
ONE: Do not post Illegal Activity. Also, do not post any manifesto's done by terrorists, active shooters, serial felons rationalizing such things, or promoting such things, even if your content does not endorse the message.
TWO: Do not engage in speech that promotes, advocates, glorifies, or endorses violence.
THREE: Do not threaten, harass, or bully users; and do not encourage others to do so on or off-line; nor make per se defamatory states at users.
FOUR: Do not post ISM. Involuntary Salacious Material means NSFW material of a manner that was not intentionally made public. This is the "upskirt", "revenge porn", and "private intimate photos" rule.
FIVE: Do not post Porn
SIX: Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW. Any material of a titillating nature must be marked NSFW.
SEVEN: Do not post Facebook accounts, individuals who's twitters are less than 500 followers, private/personal information that is not publicly available, addresses, or participate, encourage, or engage in any doxxing campaign.
EIGHT: Do not intentionally deceive others by impersonating another. This does not apply to satire.
NINE: No person shall use communities.win sites (including kotakuinaction2.win) to solicit, facilitate any transaction, or gift including: ... ATF defined firearms or ammo as defined by the ATF, Bump-stock type devices, Explosives, 3D printing files to produce the aforementioned, controlled substances, Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, Stolen goods, Paid services involving physical sexual contact, Personal Information, Falsified Official Documents, Falsified Currency, Fraudulent Services, Pharmaceuticals
TEN: No vote manipulation. Do not break communities.win's features.
ELEVEN: Do not post spam. If you are self-advertising, you must have sufficiently engaged in the sub prior to your post, and you must engage with the users when they comment in your post. Spam will also include repeated messages and comments that are done with no effort to add to the conversation.
TWELVE: Do not post intentional falsehoods or hoaxes. Yes, the Elders of Zion and other such intentionally fabricated documents fall into this. If your POST is arguably false by the user-base, it may be marked as either misleading or unfounded based on it's factual assertions, particularly in the title.
THIRTEEN: If you have reposted something, it will be removed
FOURTEEN: Do not post more than 5 posts a day to this sub.
FIFTEEN: Do not direct particularly egregious identity based slurs at users. A list will be provided
SIXTEEN: Do not attack entire identity groups as inferior, subhuman, inherently morally deficient, biologically/evolutionary mongrel, or participating in a vast conspiracy to take over the world, ala ZOG-NWO / The Patriarchy.
Rule 12 is bad because it's incredibly subjective and biased. Please just get rid of it and let the userbase decide without a heavy-handed ban excuse built in. We're smart enough to downvote virgin flat earthers and upvote chad hollow earthers.
Rule 16 is incredibly bad and shuts down discussion. Without needing to care about cucked Reddit admins we don't need it.
Rule 4, 5, and six are the same thing.
Rule 2 is dumb when it kills memes like giving commies helicopter rides, or real discussion on advising people of their legal right to shoot looters.
The part of Rule 1 forbidding discussion on the manifestos/posts of notorious shooters isn't needed now we're off Reddit. Some of them contain very interesting discussion topics, like Ted Kaczynski's.
Rule 15 should just be a part of Rule 3.
I agree conditionally. We do need such a rule, but it might need some improvement so that it will only target demonstrable falsehoods. I've been on the receiving end of abusive Rule 7 removals on KafKiA far too often to believe otherwise.
But also keep in mind that it won't be enforced by giant idiots.
My interpretation: note that it talks only about talking about people as 'inferior'. This does not prevent talk about characteristics that one group may have that is better or worse than another group, whether it's blacks being better at basketball or average IQ scores of Koreans vs. white (or any other group).
"Group X has a lower average IQ" is OK.
"Group X is subhuman/inferior" is not.
This is absurd. Banning revenge porn does not 'shut down discussion'.
Perhaps it could be rephrased as 'illegal violence' or 'illegal acts'.
It might make us a target, so the mods definitely should have the discretion of banning manifestos.
This begs the question: illegal where? Even just clarifying that we're not stuck being bound by California laws (or their "laws") would be a relief. You know the kind of bullshit I mean, like not being allowed to say negative things about polygamists or cuckolds.
Maybe I'm just too beat up from my time on reddit, but I reflexively recoil from what should be plain and normal regulations because I'm so accustomed to it being misinterpreted on purpose. I've seen how you and Dom act as mods, so I'm not very worried, but we may have caught a lot of refugees that aren't familiar with you two.
If you like those mods, you've never said anything factual about the Jews.
It just doesn't come up for me much - I came from 8/pol, so I've seen most of the ideas explored. From there, I started focusing on culture, rather than race or religion. I always assumed that behavior (which largely comes from culture) was the real meat of the issue, anyway.
I know what you mean, though - I catch it with other users occasionally. As much as I'd like a free speech forum, this can't be it. They're very hard to make publicly accessible. Feds/JIDF are a serious threat. I saw how they handled 9chan; they just posted a ridiculous threat towards jews on the politics board and reported it, conspicuously gaining the attention of groups strong enough to take the site down within the hour. Null, being a big retard, decided it was legit and he didn't want to defend it.
So I'll eat the occasional unwarranted deletion in exchange for having a place to talk at all. Dom and Ant don't hold the same position, but it's easy for me to agree with them that a certain degree of anti-jewish sentiment is dangerous. When it's a known and proven strategy, I have to concede that it's dangerous.
