RULES
|
|
</h2><br>
|
|
The rules for users are defined in our <a href="/static/manifesto.pdf#page=3">/leftypol/ Manifesto</a>. Below is a summary.
|
|
<ol start="0">
|
|
<li>Anyone posting child pornography will immediately face a permanent ban and their IP will be logged and recorded to
|
|
be handed over to the authorities (if this is ever required).<br>Content which ‘doxxes’ another user
|
|
or person will also be removed.<br>Other content which promotes or endorses illegal activity may be
|
|
removed at the discretion of the moderators.</li><br>
|
|
<li>No spam. Spam from a bot is subject to a permanent ban or more severe actions
|
|
to preserve site security. Spam from a user may also be subject to a ban.</li><br>
|
|
<li>Pornography should not be posted on /leftypol/ or /meta/ without good reason. In addition,
|
|
images which are excessively offensive to the eye or to civilised sensibilities may be removed
|
|
without warning (for example, gore, shock images) and punished with moderator action.</li><br>
|
|
<li>Posts should, overall, be conducive to an informed and productive discussion. /leftypol/ is not an
|
|
academic journal, but it also should not be a cesspit of back and forth bickering and pointless
|
|
insults. Users should attempt to argue for the point they are presenting in an honest and open
|
|
way and should be receptive to information or arguments that do, in fact, challenge their views.
|
|
Reactionism and liberalism, or any other kind of non-leftist positions are not banned per se, as
|
|
we will endeavour to allow and encourage people of other political philosophies to explore
|
|
leftism through /leftypol/ so long as they follow the rules contained herein. However, non-leftist
|
|
users are ultimately to be considered ‘guests’ and thus will be removed if they prove a nuisance
|
|
or disrupt the normal functioning of the site.</li><br>
|
|
<li>In addition, /leftypol/ is committed to the ideal of left unity, or at least that the left should have
|
|
an avenue for open discussion, so all ‘mainstream’ leftist ideologies will be permitted (so long as
|
|
they do not violate the conditions set out in <a href="/static/manifesto.pdf#page=1">Article 1)</a>. /leftypol/ does not adhere to a specific
|
|
leftist ideology.</li><br>
|
|
<li>To ensure a basic level of quality, topics or posts will not be tolerated when contributions are not
|
|
conductive to well-intentioned discussion. Therefore, posts or topics are likely to be removed at
|
|
the discretion of moderation staff if they;
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>argue under false pretences ("false flagging")<br>
|
|
 e.g. "Hey fellow commies, did you prep your wife's bull today?"</li>
|
|
<li>imply reactionary or false positions of the userbase as a form of group shaming<br>
|
|
 e.g. "Why do you guys all hate trans people?"</li>
|
|
<li>are of an overly derisive and mocking nature<br>
|
|
 e.g. "haha, btfo commies hitler rulez"</li>
|
|
<li>are of a gratuitously offensive or hysterical nature<br>
|
|
 e.g. "I hate fucking Mudslimes, we need to hang them all before they rape our children"</li>
|
|
<li>are debating inherently reactionary topics where no reasonable debate is possible<br>
|
|
 e.g. "In what way should be exterminate the lesser races, guys?"</li>
|
|
<li>are low effort sectarian bait rather than good faith discussion<br>
|
|
 e.g. “Tankie/Anarkiddie hate thread” or “Why does this theorist suck so much?”</li>
|
|
<li>are likely to create pointless and unconstructive arguments about ‘idpol’ (as defined in
|
|
<a href="/static/manifesto.pdf#page=1">Article 1)</a><br>
|
|
 e.g. “Why can’t I have women as sex slaves?” or “Why are whiteoids like this?”</li>
|
|
</ol><br>
|
|
These examples are low quality posts that are considered, at best, bait, but are better described as
|
|
spam. Any poster that violates this rule may be subject to a ban, and any post that violates this is
|
|
subject to deletion, subject to the discretion of moderators, if they feel that the topic may be an
|
|
avenue for productive discussion.</li><br>
|
|
<li>Volunteers may remove other posts according to their own discretion which they feel do not
|
|
contribute to the stated mission of /leftypol/, but they should try to adhere to the standards of the
|
|
community and of their fellow moderators, and to refrain from arbitrary decisions. Where there is
|
|
disagreement among moderators, the matter will be decided by informal consensus of currently
|
|
active moderators. If there is still disagreement, the matter should be escalated to a formal vote.</li>
|
|
</ol><br>
|
|
|
|
Once a ban is issued, it should be followed by the user and not contravened. The evasion of bans
|
|
will lead to continued bans and possibly an escalation of moderator action against a user. In
|
|
addition, it is prohibited to attempt to imitate a moderator, or to give the impression of being
|
|
multiple users at a time (for example to falsely make one’s own opinion appear more popular)<br><br>
|
|
Users have the right to question and challenge any bans or post removals, or other moderator
|
|
actions, which they feel are unfair or do not live up to the spirit of the rules. This may be done in
|
|
the moderation feedback threads on the various boards, or on the /meta/ board, but comments
|
|
should be considered and constructive, and should not devolve into polemics against the
|
|
volunteers. Ultimately, the judgement of the moderation team is final.
