Elections Canada has released this resource with some common bits of false or misleading content about elections on social media: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=dis&document=index&lang=e

We plan on pinning this resource, and we are proposing the following rules:

  • Posts or comments with inaccurate or misleading information from this list will be removed, and users are encouraged to report them
  • Repeatedly posting such content will result in a ban from the community until April 28 (at a minimum)

So far we haven’t noticed any serious issues, but we want to get ahead of anything that might come up

  • Cyborganism

    Can we add a rule about not tolerating insults? Some users in this community have a really toxic attitude. This shouldn’t be tolerated.

    It’s ok to disagree with someone and have an argument and debate, but it shouldn’t immediately fall into gratuitous insults when someone has a different viewpoint than yours.
