So now that we’ve been around for a week or so and have tried to populate things with some controversial topics, how would you like to see this Community grow and change?
Should I add post guidelines? Maybe adjust the pinned thead?
Should I change the rules at all?
Our disclaimer is currently:
Remember: Up / Downvoting in this community is not an agree / disagree button. We upvote good or constructive conversation and downvote off-topic posts or badly-voiced opinions. If you disagree, you respond like a human in good faith and prove out your position.
Should the disclaimer be changed? It’s primarily for people wandering in from viewing All threads (instead of just their subscribed ones), or for people on phones who never read the sidebar. It is there to show, in point form, how we operate to people who don’t come to us purposefully.
Are there any topic you’d really like to see covered?
Are there any other Communities we should do a link swap with that have a similar ethos with?
Are there types of threads you want to see less or more of? More descriptors?
I’m open to any and all good ideas!
I’d probably try going for less volume - actually. A single topic picked by the mod(s) weekly that reflects one of the biggest topical thorny issues of the week. Perhaps hold an online poll where people could vote on the topic.
That’s actually a very interesting idea. I don’t want to discourage community engagement by limiting main posts, but maybe a pinned “Topic of the Week” would be fantastic!
Yes, sorry - didn’t mean that you should kill submissions, just not try too hard to generate traffic. I prefer quality over quantity.
