AntiExtremes.com Content Policy

submitted by magnora7 from self.AntiExtremes

This outlines the type of posts, comments, and voting style we would like to see on this website, ideally.

Please look at the Pyramid of Debate, as it represents the core value of this website:

If a person is caught repeatedly dragging discussion in a downward direction on the Pyramid of Debate, they will be removed.

If a person is caught repeatedly dragging the quality of discourse in an upward direction, they're highly valued!

When voting content up or down (and please do, as much as possible!) think of the Pyramid of Debate and if the person you're voting on is moving discussion in an upward or downward direction on the pyramid. This is why the vote icons are shaped like the upper part of a pyramid and the lower part of a pyramid. High quality up, low quality down.

When commenting or posting, think of the Pyramid of Debate, and if you are raising the level or lowering it.

If we each take the Pyramid of Debate seriously, we can have a great website for exploring new ideas and having respectful, rational, conversations with other people. Please do your part by voting, commenting, and posting, and helping move the culture at AntiExtremes in a good direction, especially early on as we form our website's culture that will be the basis of growth for years to come.

Lastly, no pornography. Not because we are against it, per se, but it's more about the legal troubles associated with housing this type of content. It's better for the longevity and quality and legal safety of the site not to have it here. There's plenty of porn on reddit and voat and around the rest of the internet, so go there instead if you're interested in that type of content.

Thank you and enjoy the site!

Good call on the porn thing. Keep up the quality!

Such a great system! Focusing from day one on positivity and making sure everyone knows this is a non-bullying, no attacks allowed website. I was on another website (which shall remain nameless) where someone disagreed with something I said but having no justifiable response instead attacked me, my background, my culture and even attacked and insulted my mother! When I requested that the moderator delete that comment they called me a baby, said I needed to fight my own battles and to fight fire with fire. That was when I decided to look for another platform. Thanks for setting up one that will tolerate no abuse. The hierarchy you post for everyone is great!

Thanks so much - if you need extra volunteer moderators let me know!

Looking good guys, I’m excited to dig in. Also, I’m glad there’s no pornography.

Glad to have you around!

I'm not sure where this could be posted (because there aren't enough subXes for everything yet), but I'll post a few places where I find the word "reddit", so that you know where to find them when you get the chance

[–]Temple_of_Light 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

When you go to create an account, it says "get the best of reddit emailed to you once a week"

If you click on "Preferences", it says reddit 7 times. (ctrl-F)

Also, in the top left corner, there's "my subreddits"

When you go to send a PM, it says "(username, or /r/name for that subreddit's moderators)"

Clicking on "account activity" has the message "You are currently accessing reddit from this IP address:"

Also I just noticed that editing a post doesn't put a star next to it; not sure if this is intended or not.

Thanks, that would be very much appreciated to have a list like that. Also if you see any reddit icons or imagery.

You can just reply to me right here if you like, or you can make a post to /r/antiextremes which is designated for discussion regarding improving the website itself.

[–]Temple_of_Light 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Okay! I'll copy paste my message there and keep editing it there

Great thanks!

I'm pretty far to the right, politically, and hope to see actual legitimate debate and conversations without the reddit 'snark' and the voat 'niggers'. The C_S_T model seems pretty cool, but this seems like it could be an incredible moderation challenge. Finding enough honest moderators who will work without pay could be an even bigger challenge.

If you can pull off the honest moderator thing, you'll have surpassed Sisyphus. Even if you fail at the impossible, any movement in that direction is refreshing.

I was on reddit for 11 years, and have seen it all. (Remember Saydrah?) Maybe in 2030 I'll be like, "yep, I was antiextremes back when it was cool." lol, j/k. Anyway, cheers! And good luck!

Thanks :) Nice to hear from you. I remember Saydrah and reddit from back then too. Just let us worry about the moderation, and you worry about posting good content and comments :) We will do our best.

Your press on voat. Definitely appreciate the free expression, but wish the quality of conversation were higher.

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Is that the link you meant to send?

I agree with what you say about voat.

Sorry, looks like I lost the last 3 above.

Reddit user u/magnora7 says Reddit went to one extreme and Voat to another; creates "reddit clone" website called antiextremes.com (news)

Ah thanks for the link. Interesting to see the reactions. I was hoping to release it there myself... Oh well.
