Yes, I find the new strict rules are counterproductive as soon as I read them. They leave absolutely zero amount of room for what would be considered "brain storming", or "throwing ideas out there", which are exactly what you need when things start to run a little "cold" an in investigation. It was very rude for the mod to show up making that demand while also seeming impartial. Whoever asked for that demand or for this mod to come around is counterproductive to pizzagate, no matter how much they congratulate his or her self on being a staunch supporter.

As the user who is doing all of this I would like to say I'm doing it to try to keep everyone at the very least to keep asking questions and make the post about pizzagate. Joan Rivers transgender fake death (trump in video) is not about pizzagate. Hence I asked mods to delete it. Minimal effort to relate it to pizzagate I believe is needed otherwise we're in /v/whatever
edit: also the rules aren't new they've been there for a while. I'm just helping point out their violations.

It seems I misunderstood the purpose of the new sticky regarding rules and the oversight of a presumably new mod. The whole thing smacked of hostile takeover.

And I still maintain that the rules as they are could be - stressing "could" - destructive. But... I re-read them and they could also - stressing "could", not "will" - be interpreted in a loose manner that still allows for brainstorming and wild speculation.

[edit] There's nothing wrong with adding an "amendment" (an "exception" if you will) that broadly outlines brainstorming efforts and other speculative efforts while also re-iterating how they must remain on-topic and not simply orbit pizzagate from a distance.

I like the inclusion of a brainstorming rule my main beef tho is people not putting any effort into posts.
I'm talking to the design mod about if a tagging and filtering system can be put in place similar to the eddit/r/overwatch implementation. So that oh hell here's the message I sent him.
"post tagging and sorting by post tagging would make the sub easier to navigate and would negate the need for seperate subs for different topics. Would also allow mods to be more lenient with the rules"

Too bad there's not a metavoat similar to the convoluted systems thrust out by Slashdot, something similar to "karma points", where a person can earn bad karma for being off-topic.

Hell. Maybe this entire place should ask slashdot for their framework and just come up with a script to convert the database over.
