In the past, folks have had discussions in crime posts about not wanting to see crime posts, and it is rare to see one with a positive voting score unless it’s something actionable (such as a fundraiser or a call for people to more safely store firearms). What are folks thoughts on the addition of a guideline or rule on crime posts? I think a good ground would be discouraging hot-off-the-presses two-sentence articles that local news outlets immediately put out, but I would like to know what the community would think is reasonable before everyone is driven away.
The others have all made good points so I don’t know if I can add much, but I think there needs to be a balance. It’s important that we are aware of the crime in the city, but we should be also posting topics that garner discussion. I don’t think seeing multiple shooting posts in the same week will bring discussion.
Idk how we find that balance, but I hope everyone agrees that should be the priority.
