    I disagree. kim4432's comment there is at least a contradiction.

    If the sub bans ideological opponents it needs to take itself off of /all and state that in the sidebar, in accordance with mod rule 4b. /u/VantaFount and /u/magnora7 do you have comments? This will likely continue to be an ongoing issue on SaidIt and this sort of thing is what SaidIt's policies were meant to prevent, no? I feel bad pinging you but you are the only ones who can act as administrators and maintain site policy. Is there a better way to deal with these issues?

      Do you know how to check if a sub is on all?

      I'm not sure how to.

      They would also need to add a statement in their sidebar that they are censoring opposing opinions in order to comply with rule 4b.

        mods should be able to remove their sub from all but only an admin should be able to add it back again.

        why do you think this would be helpful?

        Whether or not a sub is on all should be made publicly accessible.

        I think that's a good idea too.

        It also occurs to me that mods should be able to remove their sub from all but only an admin should be able to add it back again.

        why do you think this would be helpful?

        Because. Let's say that a sub removes themselves from /all (in order to comply with Rule 4b so that they ban certain posters) but that immediately after preventing specific people from posting, they then switch back to /all (in order for their sub to attract new members) well, what are they doing? They get to eat their cake and have it too. This becomes the exact same situation as reddit is now, where mods have all the power over a sub to enforce any stupid requirement they want.

        It defeats the purpose of creating saidit.net in the first place.

        Do you think it would work if we could just report it to the admins if we noticed a sub doing this? Without restricting when they can take themselves on or off of /all?
