Hello all,

I was recently reading through some posts here and noticed a comment in which someone was asking if this community was moderated at all.

I went to take a look, and sure enough, the only mod account here had not been active for ~2 years.

As I generally have the time to do so, I submitted a request to the instance admin to moderate the community and it was granted.

I have done this before for another community, and it seems to have gone well, so I am glad to try to help here too.

I wanted to make this post to first provide my assurances to you that I like to be responsible in moderation duties, and to let you know that I am well aware that this is no one persons community, but all of ours.

Second, and to that end, I see that this community currently has no rules set in the sidebar. I wanted to ask you all if you have any suggestions for rules for this community, or if you think it is even necessary to list any etc.

If people are generally in agreement with suggested rules, I would be glad to add them there and to try to enforce them as I have the time to do so.

Once these are in place, please remember that you can use the report feature on comments or posts that you believe break rules to get my attention to review them in regards to that.

Otherwise if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask or to make yourself heard.

Thanks!

I would love to see a rule prohibiting memes and in-jokes. They degrade the experience so much.

They aren't exactly frequent in this sub, but if you're asking for rules, that's what I would like to see.

Thanks for the suggestion, I do find this to be annoying in other communities, but as you said it doesn't seem to be a big issue here at present.

I intend to leave this post pinned for quite a while so that I can try to get a good idea of the general consensus of the community on the suggestions, so if it looks like most feel this is needed as time goes on then I would be glad to implement it.

If they’re infrequent and upvoted enough for you to see them, I don’t see the value in banning them.
