  • Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @[email protected]. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).

    It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.

    Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊

    Let me remind you of a few things:

    1. I am allowed to disagree with any point or argument made in a discussion
    2. I am allowed to tell you when I feel your side of the argument or discussion is not compelling me in any way
    3. This conversation is still ongoing, as evidenced by any lack of comment removal, user bans, and thread locking

    I understand you feel strongly about this, and whether you believe me or not, I respect your point of view. Show me a better argument than the one you are currently presenting and change my mind*. Also, you will need to change the community’s mind too.

    ~* This is not one of those typical bad-faith “change my mind” meme references you might have seen flying around.~

    We already had that conversation. It’s rule #4.

    📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due - Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting. - Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
