Community Guidelines
Editing Community Guidelines is currently busted. Once it's working, these are what I'm looking to set:
1. Remain On Topic: Keep posts on the subject of Canberra Australia and surrounding regional areas.
2. No Politics. There are existing political communities, keep it out of this one.
3. No Legal Name-and-Shaming. Although the media can report on names of individuals accused of crimes before guilt or innocence is determined, this is heavily discouraged here. Link to a reliable news source if you must, but please don't repeat names of accused individuals here unless they have been found guilty in a court of law.
4. Minimise NSFW. Sometimes it's on topic, but keep it to the bare minimum.
5. Drama is Not Content. Look for another community if you are seeking or promoting drama here
6. Keep It Legal. No glorification or promoting illegal activity. Eg, theft, speeding, assault, vigilantism, vandalism, etc. There is some leeway when it comes to protests, but don't push it too far.
7. Don't be a Drongo. This is subjective and up to Moderator discretion.
I imagine that number 2 will be controversial and not suit everyone. I'm among those who are just absolutely tried of politics being forced into every corner of the internet, so taking this opportunity to put the foot down. This is challenging when we are talking about the Capital City of Australia, so there are fuzzy edges, and some minimal leeway. But don't go too far.
Open to thoughts and feedback.
