You can always remove people who are just spamming or being violent.

There's no need to take the sub off /all unless you want to remove people who are disagreeing in a rational way.

If you want to be able to remove those people, then you must take yourself off of /all and say the sub will remove opposing opinions in the sidebar.

Either option is great. Whichever option you all choose, it's 100% up to the mods of the sub. You can try leaving it open to /all for a while and see how it goes.

Even when private, this sub has always been removed from s/all, as we do not allow disagreement with our overall stance (even when presented rationally). Reddit taught us an awful lot about astro-turfing, and how "well-reasoned debate" will quickly override and silence LGB voices.

We have this statement in the sidebar in order to comply with SaidIt policy:

Mods will remove opposing views, regardless of where on the PyramidOfDebate they may be. Violations may result in a permanent ban without notice.

Since you're an Admin, would you prefer we word the sidebar statement in a different way to be even more clear and/or precise? Admittedly, we shortened things up due to character limitations in the sidebar, but we will revisit and refine our wording if you feel it's needed.

Cool sounds good to me, that complies with the rules just fine. Thanks for letting me know.
