Community News: Updates to the Forum Guidelines
Hey guys!
It's now been 7 weeks since we released the new Forum Guidelines. Things seem to be settling down now so we thought this would be a good time to review how everything has been going. We've noticed a positive shift in the forum atmosphere and are seeing a lot of good discussions happening. We're mostly happy with where things have settled but still feel that some further changes could make things even better. In light of this, I've made the following updates to the forum guidelines:
These aren't drastic changes, but should hopefully make the intentions behind the guidelines clearer. I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to talk with the team and I about your experiences with the Forum Guidelines. These discussions have been immensely helpful in making sure that the guidelines settle in a place that is healthy for the community as a whole. I hope that we can continue these discussions as we go! As always, please feel free to contact me any time if you have any concerns or feedback about moderation. I'm always happy to hear from you.

" Only the title of that guideline has changed. The guideline itself has been in since the guidelines first changed. We could probably make an exception to that thread along the lines of, it's okay to make those quotes for the people who agree to participate in the thread. Otherwise, putting words in the mouths of people who aren't interested in being part of it is not super cool. What do you think? :) | |
" Cool, well! We can totally look at reasonable exceptions in some cases. If people agree they want to participate in a game like that I can't see any harm in it. | |
" We can probably make an exception for cases where it's obvious that it's been altered, light-hearted and not likely to offend the quoted player. The kind of situations it's aimed at is when two people are debating something and one of them changes the quote of the other to manipulate the argument. | |
Thanks for the kindness, Fade! I'm glad to hear you feel it's going well :)
