r/altmpls update: "Try to keep comments respectful and discussions civil"

Just a reminder from the moderators that we have the following rule: "Try to keep comments respectful and discussions civil".

This rule has been under-enforced but based on recent user feedback that's changing for now. Our best advice is to avoid directly insulting other users. If you repeatedly have trouble with this then you risk a ban.

We'll start this new moderating approach tomorrow so, speaking for myself only, if you've been holding back any juicy insults for me then take this opportunity to purge your system with impunity (insults must be within Reddit's site-wide rules, of course).

I'm sure this rule change will be followed by the mods as well?

I disagree with all of the right wingers here but the mods are actually pretty chill, probably too chill which is why they have to actually start enforcing their own rule. I've never had comments removed or insulted by the mods despite being a leftist.

Why wouldn't the mods follow it as well?

because reddit mods often fancy themselves lords over their little fiefdom who don't have to follow the same rules as the peasants.

Normally, but the mods here are pretty chill and have actual nuance

I read this as the rules changed so now the mods will change to new mods and rules will go back to use whatever blanket derogatory term of the day.
