Wow, welcome everyone to the community.

What would people like to see ongoing? The daily threads are good, does anyone have ideas for what topics or do you want to mirror the CasualUK standards?

Maybe we should be a bit more, well, casual?

I occasionally got frustrated with how trigger happy the mods over at the Place That Shall Not Be Named were on CasualUK. Posts that promoted some fun discussion and were upvoted after the first couple of minutes of them going up were still deleted and deemed as "moaning" or "low effort".

Perhaps a clearer definition of "low effort" might be "it took you 10 seconds and everyone ignored it", and rather than a ban against moaning, perhaps we might ban "boring moaning". If the moan is entertaining, satirical, prompts engagement it should be left alone.

Just my 2p's worth.

I expect most of those rules and moderation techniques grew out of it being such a large community with just a constant stream of content. We'll have our own struggles here, they may be the same or they may be different, we'll just have to wait and see.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. Its probably due to (a) having 1.5 million users and (b) necessitating lots of individual mods, over-moderation is safer than under-moderation.
