Hi all! As promised, here is the proposed text of the newest version of the rules. The staff has gone through like eight drafts and literally thousands and thousands of matrix posts to get here, so please be kind. You can see @limeey’s comment on the transparency post if you want more insight into how this sausage was made.
We are opening these rules to commentary from the community before they go into effect. To be clear, this isn’t a vote, but we will take all community feedback into account and answer whatever questions we can before finalizing anything.
Please keep in mind that we are not Reddit, we do not have Reddit’s resources, and safety and consent are our priorities.
I’ll post the draft in two parts in two comments: The new sidebar, and the FAQ/clarifications page.
This seems like a great start.
I’m sure you’ll find more corner cases as these rules start to be enforced.
I just hope you have the patience to see it through, although I’m sure some vocal people will get very up in your face about it.
yuuuuuuuuup. But that’s why they pay us the big bu- wait, what’s that? we’re not getting paid? Then why the fuck am I even here? Call my agent!
