Rules:

Now that we have grown to over 400 people and it looks like this might take off we should start looking at what kind of forum we want this to turn into. We will obviously have the usual rules about harassment and inappropriate comments, but beyond that I think everyone should have a say.

A few questions to get people thinking:

  • How broad of a forum do we want? Do we want to allow topics that show house framing or projects made only on a laser cutter?
  • Do we lock posts that contain sensitive topics from comments like guns, religion, flags? If so what is the lock list?
  • Do we allow self promotion posts from individuals trying to sell their items? If so do we limit the number of posts they can make?
  • Do we allow posts from companies as long as they are labelled as such?
  • Should there be a process to remove a mod or the magazine owner if the community is not happy with them? What would that look like?
  • What other rules should we add or not add?

I think sensative topics should stay open unless the comments become hostile.

I don't particularly like the idea of self promotion. I think keeping track of # of posts will be very difficult to handle. Obviously if commentors ask about it and OP promotes at that point its fine.

I really don't want companies posting here. If somebody really likes a product and wants to voice that, great, but I don't need more advertising for the sake of advertising in here.

That's my opinion anyway. I'm curious to see others.

@pinkraisons I just discovered the microblog section of this magazine. At least on kbin the microblog posts don’t seem to show up in the subscribed list. You might get more response if you start a thread with these questions.

I don’t have a lot of input on your questions but generally think a more permissive approach might be beneficial at first. If the magazine turns into a classified ad section or something like that then obviously things have gone too far. Woodworking is a pretty broad discipline though so it’s natural to have a variety of work posted here.
