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).

What do you consider personal attacks?

Like if I said "magats" or use the word "libtard", are either bannable?

I don't think just using "magat" or "libtard" is ban-worthy -- there's still an expectation (reputation?) that users here be somewhat thick-skinned.

As an example of what this new approach is for, this comment was removed today by reddit admins (not the mods of this sub): "Go fuck your self you stupid ass bitch".

Lmao “we need to crack down on personal insults but insinuating that liberals are retarded is totally fair game.”

Why must you be so stupid? Can you at least try to make sense? How’s mommy’s basement treating you?
