A community to discuss conservative politics and views.

Rules:

  1. No racism or bigotry.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn't provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. No spam posting.

  4. Submission headline should match the article title (don't cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  5. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

  6. No trolling.

There should be some moderators looking after this community.

The sidebar should be filled with at least a description of what this is for, and some basic rules. Also posts/comments that are off-topic or break server/community rules should be removed. I think 3 mods to start would be OK, they can appoint more mods if needed.

If we can't find moderatos, we'll have to close this community.

I have passed ownership of this community so I can't speak with absolute certainty, but the moderators that I have added (including the new owner) all share this view of mine, that free discussion, even differing and disagreeing opinions can and will always be permitted.

You're more than welcome to post and comment here. In the first day or two some disagreeing comments were removed and I re-approved them and told the mod that removed them that it wouldn't how this community is moderated.

The only posts I've removed are from a user that came here as part of the brigade and spammed dozens of posts that were not even tangentially related to conservatism (more so conservative hate/mocking). I was going to leave a few up, but upon issuing a temp ban to the user for the spam, the option to remove all was presented which I used. A single post that disagrees with conservatism would never be removed as long as it's done to incite discussion and not to incite hate.

That's good to know.

That's perfectly fine in my view.
