Hi there.
A short introduction: This is an alt account. I’m a moderator here who has been unhappy with the state of news/political discussions here for a long time. The admins have kindly given me the opportunity to see if we can make some improvement the community here.
We will be doing some major revision of the rules left by the previous moderators and will use discussions in this thread as feedback on the direction we should take our community.
This will be an open discussion on the state of our community, the rules and our moderation practices. Feel free to give your inputs.
I’d like to propose an addition to rule 1: no linking liveblogs that don’t permalink (Al Jazeera, CNN, probably others). It’s impossible to discuss an article that has been pushed three or four screens below the fold by other articles.
