In return, moderators need to re-agree to a set of terms that align their incentives towards being impartial and fair towards the users of those subs.
There is no objective standard of "impartial and fair", but is that even necessary for your proposal? Different people want different moderation standards, but that seems fine.
- Zetice 3y agoFair enough, my point is more broadly that some standard would need to apply a la Twitch/YouTube/etc. You can't be racist, you can't credibly threaten people, and so on. Turning moderators into content creators (content curators) and connecting them more directly to their advertisers is the general idea.
- ix-ix 3y agoI disagree. Should the Rust subreddit allow posts for the game rust? Would it not be unfair to remove them? This applies to anything and everything. Subreddits were great because they could set whatever rules they wanted and you could just leave if you did not like it.
- Zetice 3y agoEr, it has never been true that subreddits could set whatever rules they want. Many subreddits have been banned for a myriad of reasons, nothing should or would change w/r/t that.
- aydyn 3y agouh what? subreddits can and do set any rules they want within the global reddit terms of service. Subreddits have been banned for breaking global reddit rules. Up until this very recent fiasco, those rules were much more lax.
