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.

      Ope, sorry, I’ve disconnected for a bit because of personal stuff.

      I’m going to implement the rule in the next couple of days I think, if no major stuff against it is presented.

      As for other mods: I don’t know. Deviant is the original creator of the community, I feel it would be unfair to kick them out. For TheGayDude I don’t know. All n all I think it’s unnecessary, they not causing any trouble, so I’d let them be for now.
