So,
Odd questions that I was considering and popped over to thedonald to see what their thoughts of us comming onboard; the reception seems mixed at best.
One valid point that was brought up was that we need to consider how we are going to determine rules? do we have a timeline for when the temporary rules are revised? Have we discussed a system by which the community will be involved in those rules coming about?
Another question; with KiA being present we need to consider that we will draw more attention to this domain; which means we may be making problems for them as people with a ideological axe to grind try hard to get the domain cancelled - so we need to consider how to deal with that not just as mods but as a community.
I don't know maybe I am rambling but we really need to start thinking proactively because reactionary responses brought us here and generally got peoples knickers in a knot.
The sub has been getting a lot of love from the donald, but many don't understand much about it yet, looking at the past whenever the issue of whether or not cartoon drawings of kids should have the same protections as real life photos of real kids comes up it's about a 70/30 split against it with most either not caring or wanting to avoid divisive topics, I hope with KIA joining the community more of the Donald will start accepting lewd games and anime.
My biggest concern with the success of this move is remembering how difficult it was to move from reddit to .win for the Donald, it started out small and for awhile there wasn't enough transfers for members to drown out the trolls, was bad enough a choice had to be made between keeping a quarantined reddit page or abandoning support for it to force the remainers to the new site, the mods chose the new site and it worked, but KIA on reddit doesn't have nearly that much tension to leave reddit and even if it did there's going to be fewer willing to transfer to a politics site they don't necessarily agree with
Overall the thinking with KiA on reddit is that it's still the best place we've got to get fresh eyes on what we are talking about. Reddit is full of people in a way that the wins are not, there are people on the wins, but they are more of a specific type of people.
So for now to get fresh eyes on anything it's better to maintain both. And until such time as reddit takes action against us (which still seems unlikely) we are going to moderate both.
That reminds me, what will this site's policy be regarding NSFW content?
Apologies, meant to reply to this several hours ago but got sidetracked with some other things.
Sitewide policy is "please flag NSFW stuff as NSFW, and don't post illegal things". Our local policy will be effectively that with a layer of "does this post fit within the posting guidelines of Rule 3?" We may look at it more later, to determine if we need to add an extra bit of prevention to prevent the sub turning into "all gaming R34 all the time", but we will definitely be enforcing the "tag your shit NSFW if it is NSFW" side of things. One of the early things I asked for from the site admins that they implemented was the checkbox on the new post page so users can flag their own posts NSFW, so that the responsibility didn't fall entirely on us having to tag everything properly.
I'll point this question out to those working with the admins on things.
I know for our own part we're doing what we did on reddit in that it has to be flagged NSFW to protect those of us who view from work.
