Hey, I’m looking forward to seeing this community grow and I’d like to see it future-proofed against people using it to cause trouble. These are a couple of suggestions for preventative rules that the mod(s) can implement as they like.

  1. Post in good faith. Don’t use your post to try to spread drama, to soapbox, or to give a platform/audience for bad actors. Posting thumbnails from bad actors such as content farms, bigots, misinformation spreaders, and trolls is discouraged as you will just be giving them more attention and clicks. Conversely, don’t use your post to advertise for yourself or to shill for others.

  2. Don’t use posts to harass content creators, either on or off of this community.

  3. Link to the video in the post description.

  4. Do not post thumbnails which are entirely clearly A.I. generated or which are entirely pre-existing images (ex. album art).

  5. Thumbnails must be for YouTube videos (and specific other sites/content?).

  6. If the thumbnail is overly risqué or gross, use the NSFW tag.
