Hi everyone!

As a mod, I started getting some reports on people commenting doomer stuff under posts. They're not really great, they're demotivating and most importantly not really fit this communities vibe. I'm not fond of them, but I can't go removing comments and banning people left and right, because technically, they not breaking any rules. So I feel that the community discussion is in order.

If we going to implement a rule against doomers, I think it is very important to define the rule clearly, for it not to be too broad. So I propose the phrasing "blatant doomerism". Here are examples:

  • Blatant doomerism\doomer trolling (comment gets removed, user banned if spams to many comments like this):

  • adequate discussion with some doomerism (nothing gets to be done by mods, discussion in the comments goes as usual)

So, the discussion is welcome. If I missed anything, or even if it's not needed and there should be no change to the rule set, or you have anything to add, feel free to comment.

Hi everyone!!!!

It was recently brought to our (mine and pencilnoobs) attention that our community need rules. So I thought it would be fair if everyone could take a part in making a new (and bright!!!) future of hopeposting!

So, here's a ruleset, provided for you by an amazing [email protected] and revised/expanded by me:

  1. Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
  2. Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
  3. Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
  4. Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
  5. No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

I also think there shoud be a rule about format of the posts themselves (to prevent turning into cutsie/deep-quotes group), but I'm having a hard time defining it to be not very restrictive. Please feel free to discuss and give your feedback!!!!! (you are a very valuable asset to our company)

Edit: New rules are now implemented!

Is this toxic positivity? I feel like it might be cutting it close.
