I would love an "explicit, well-defined policy". And I'm pretty sure Reddit would love one too. But it is hard to make one, do you have any examples of policies you like? It usually is hard to pin it down (I know it when I see it).
- tomp 11y agoIronically, the rules of reddit [1] are IMO pretty good guidelines. A code/document-hosting website would probably also want to specify something like "nothing illegal", to avoid DMCA/piracy/copyright issues. Obviously, reddit doesn't abide by it's own rules. That would require balls of steel (or equivalent for corporations), especially in the face of controversies such as The Fappening.
- sytse 11y agoI see a reference to link [1] but not the link itself. I assume you are referring to https://www.reddit.com/rules/ https://www.reddit.com/rules/ I think I just saw them introduce other rules last week or so that were much more ambiguous.
- tomp 11y agoYes, I'm an idiot, I forgot the link. That's exactly what I was referring to - these rules, not the ambiguous rules that reddit actually applies on their site these days.
- sytse 11y agoI think these rules have proved that they were too simplistic, the celebrity photo scandal caused https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/2x0g9v/from_1_to_9000_communities_now_taking_steps_to/ https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/2x0g9v/from_...
