Some rules that are very necessary to follow but aren't obviously known to all, etc. Some rules that aren't exactly rules but it's better to follow them etc.

Thoughts on RuLe?
Main Post:
I absolutely love it, her vocals are so good this song is such a banger hollyyy.
Also I love this little gremlin.
Top Comment: It’s awesome! The screaming part is my favourite as usual. I really wouldn’t mind if Ado straight up made an entire rock album because her vocals are perfect for it.

What rules should be included in a subreddit
Main Post:
I have a new subreddit that I created by mistake I don’t know how to run it but I will try my best can I get some advice please thank you
Top Comment: You can explore some popular subreddit and check their rules and see how they can apply or not to your subreddit. This is up to you. Ideally, you want to tell why some posts can be removed and give the reasons before.
State of the subreddit July 2025 – rule clarifications and changes
Main Post:
The most recent Town Hall saw some good suggestions raised regarding the quality and quantity of posts on the sub, and we thought it prudent to address and implement them.
Two rules relating to post standards came in for some justified criticism: Rule 4 on sources, and Rule 7 on awfulbrags. These rules were put in place with the best of intentions, but we were overly strict in enforcement, and when we relaxed them a bit we didn’t give a good explanation of what the new rules entailed. The result has been that the mods have thought some rules were stricter than the users did, and that users have thought that some other rules were stricter than the mods did. Obviously, this needs to be addressed.
Firstly, we’d like to stress that sources should only be cited when they are available, and that it also doesn’t have to be close citation. For instance, if you’re drawing on books and articles, just stick them in a bibliography. If the drama unfolded over social media, please post links or screenshots, at least of the important parts. But if it’s something like a dead forum which no longer exists, and you’re going off memory, then no source is necessary.
That said, it was brought up that while we have been removing direct links to X/Twitter/Xitter, we haven’t actually got a written rule anywhere. As such, the following addendum has been made to Rule 4:
Direct links to Twitter/X are not allowed; please use a mirror such as Xcancel.
We will be updating the wording of Rule 7 as follows:
Rule 7: Be objective as far as possible. OP can have been part of the drama, but should not either be seeking validation or awfulbragging about their role. Even if OP was not a participant, they should avoid making unsubstantiated judgments or allegations.
Some bias is expected with any post, but there is a rule against unreasonable partiality. You can make judgements, evaluative statements, etc., but the mods have the right to remove posts if they appear excessively one-sided. Personal involvement is not disqualifying, but make sure that you aren’t just writing to make yourself look good.
These rules were put in place mainly in response to users calling out disinformation on certain posts, but we didn’t anticipate that they would have as chilling an effect as they did; for that we would like to apologise.
A third rule that in retrospect we were surprised didn’t come up was Rule 6. On principle we want to not just have posts regurgitating information without some kind of analysis or editorial, but in practice there are a lot of dramas that ultimately fizzled out, which made the rather single-track 'posts must have consequences' rule rather stifling. As such, we are reworking that particular rule, and merging it with Rule 8 on low-effort posts (which covers similar ground as it is):
Rule 6: Explain relevance and be detailed (within reason). Posts should be understandable to the reader and written with attention to explaining the situation, the history, and – as far as possible – the consequences. For both Hobby History and ordinary writeups, you should explain why what you’re writing about mattered in some way. Some dramas had major consequences; others might not, but may be revealing about the state of a community. Get into the implications! You shouldn't assume something is just inherently interesting to everyone else.
On a different note, we are going to begin stickying a notice in Scuffles encouraging users to repost long-form posts, or long-running series with multiple updates, as posts on the main page. All rules, including the 2-week cutoff, still apply, but we hope that this will get a bit more material on the front page again.
Otherwise, please make any suggestions/improvements you think we need to consider. This post will double as a Town Hall until the next one goes up.
Top Comment: My memory of the "must have consequences" rule was it was in response to a few posts that were like "I'm a fan of this video game and someone posted a review of the video game that was bad and the person clearly hadn't even played the video game and now everyone in the forum for the video game is mad at them because they suck the end." Which were kind of annoying and I was down for them being removed at the time, but for sure the rule itself seemed to end up I think discouraging good posts about the kind of trivial drama we do want. The issue with the posts I'm remembering was they weren't really drama within the hobby at all, it was just someone complaining about something that bugged them At any rate, all in favor of changes.
