!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

looks like the "ban everyone all the time" solution didn't quite pan out

I think it's a psychological trap that people fall into when in charge of anything. Being overly punitive feels like doing something, when often a lighter touch would be healthier in the long run.

This happens with games, managers at work, parents with their kids, the justice system, or even moderation on forums like here or reddit.
