Due to some confusion, the /Conservative mod team have decided to clarify rule 2. The actions taken will remain the same, this is a rewrite to hopefully clarify what rule 2 is, and what /Conservative is.
Rule 2 is “posts must be right wing, and comments can be of any political leaning.” This is to garner discussion, to bring to light stories and perspectives that may be absent in other communities. and to allow discussion on these stories and perspectives. Hopefully, that makes sense.
We’re rewriting Rule 2 to read:
Posts must be made from an (American) right-wing perspective. This does not include comments, be as lefty as you want in the comments. If you feel it’s unclear, please check Allside’s Media Bias Chart and feel free to message the mods if you have any questions. We reserve the right to make judgment calls.
If you think that this is unclear, please leave a comment below.
The topic should be relevant to right politics or views rather than just a troll attempt. It should be something that a conservative would want to talk about or would have an opinion on.
Thats true. Its kinda tricky to write the perfect rule, and I’ve rewritten it about 10 times before just sending it. Its part of why I added the “We reserve the right to make our own judgements” bit.
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It has to be about the intent.
Are they trying to create an environment for discussion or are they just trying to troll?
I mean a little trolling is to be expected but if that is their sole purpose, then what value do they add?
Most likely no minds will be changed on the internet but seeing the other side is, I think valuable.
