Admins are going to

  1. Remove spam posts. Good. Love it.

  2. Make judgement calls on every post re the "Pyramid of Debate". Not good. This rule falls WAY short on the subject of free speech. I for one would rather have someone call me names than have their post removed. That way I know THAT user. I can handle trolls. What I can't handle is censorship. Every post removed brings me a HUGE STEP closer to deleting my account and walking away.

If they are good admin they will allow mods to make most of those POD calls. I'm still calling on /u/Magnora7 to strongly consider writing in some type of loose exception on the POD for religion, art, memes, humor and non political content. Human communication is more complicated than a POD and if admin doesn't have lite hands with the censorship they will destroy what remains of this small site.

Couldn't agree more. On the site level there should be almost zero censorship IMO. At the subverse level though censorship is almost impossible to avoid due to the nature of weaponize (often paid) trolling operations. Trolls will ruin all attempts at healthy communication if you remove all censorship.

Congrats to the new admin.

Any content admin who enforces the rules in a way they're not already being enforced will be removed. So from the perspective of an average user, nothing should change. And if it does, contact me so I can remove the content admin who is abusing their role.
