VOTING OUTLINE

Because the SaidIt admins want to maintain your valued trust, they cautiously don't want to "tinker" in the guts of the software or databases for fear that some may accuse them of malevolence or censorship.

Personally, I think that's a big leap. How do we know they aren't already tinkering or malevolent? How could they prove anything anyway, true or false. The proof is in the pudding, and thus far their pudding has been free of censorship or malevolence. When that proof changes the situation may change. That's my 2 cents.

Ultimately it comes down to the users. Where does your trust lay and how is it earned? Do you care if they openly tinker. They can post details if/as they evolve, should they choose to do so.

Do you care that the "canada" sub and others don't have CAPITALS?

Being the busy holiday season, I propose this vote be closed 2019-01-09 in 3 weeks.

PLEASE VOTE FOR ONE OF THE OPTIONS

"tinker" in the guts of the software or databases

Just to add a bit of nuance, we're great with tinkering with the software and we have a bunch. What you are proposing here is tinkering with user submitted (database) data, specifically sub/subreddit names.

Yes. For now there are several general options with various tinkering intensities. Further details about the actual processes can be discussed here or on other posts or surveys. Folks might even request procedure details before and/or after proposed tinkering. This survey may be the start of a broader conversation or it may conclude it.
