Rules: Do we need them? Maybe just the basics:
No calls to or threats of physical violence?
No doxxing (actual doxxing like posting home addresses not just discussing social media etc)?
No spam, no pornography (unless specifically conspiracy-related ie Hunter Biden)?
Mods: u/trinadin is coming back on board, but it would be nice to have one more conspiracy-oriented mod and one more design/CSS oriented mod. I don't think we need any more than that. I've already had several folks reach out and maybe this thread would be a good opportunity to throw your hat in the ring.
Priority will be given to those with .win modding experience and/or those NOT on reddit (I'm starting to spend more of my time here anyway).
CSS: We need an update...in the beginning I almost waited to launch this until the CSS looked better, but time was of the essence so we went with what we have now. It was always meant to be only temporary! Let's beef it up. Design isn't really my thing, but I appreciate and recognize how important it is to look sleek, ESPECIALLY when you're presenting controversial and conspiratorial content.
On another note, it seems crucial to limit downvoting to accounts with a certain karma threshold. What should that threshold be? Link and comment karma? What subreddits use this, and what are their thresholds? Is it even possible to implement here?
Other than these drive-by downvoters, this place has been RAD so far.
And something tells me this is only the beginning...
I reached out to AP that I'd like to help mod this site.
I've been a /conspiracy moderator for years and have plenty of experience working within the bounds and enforcing only the rules that are posted.
When I reached out to AP I suggested a more hands off approach here and stated I'd only be looking for the spammer/link advertisers and am not really interested in enforcing much beyond that.
A lot of you know me from the conspiracy reddit and a few of you probably don't like me. I accept that but I'm also looking to turn the page and am excited to get away from reddit. That place has burned me out and I'm sick and tired of dealing with it in any meaningful way. It's too toxic and it started affecting my real life and family.
Either way, I understand AP's prioritizing of .win users and don't really expect nothing to come of this but figured I'd at least attempt to help an old friend and the community I've been a part of for over 10 years.
Sincerely,
Balthanos Malabades
FWIW, I'd support you modding here, Balto.
