[META] Clarification of solicitation rule
Rule 2 in this place is no solicitation of business of any sort. What this has meant and actioned upon is even asking for feedback of business ideas that have not yet been built is not okay. I remember a thread about someone asking for feedback regarding a Malaysia property report being removed. Multiple free vibecoded dashboard threads have also been removed.
Yet just 1-2 days ago, a mod had a thread which is also soliciting ideas for building a product that is still kept up https://www.reddit.com/r/singaporefi/comments/1tum0j8/opinion_gathering_would_you_use_an_ai_financial/
My question is around the consistency in application of the rules. What makes soliciting feedback for vibecoded dashboard #3592 not okay but soliciting ideas for an AIFA okay?
Based on the discussion that I had with the mod in question, there seems to be 4 main points that make it okay.
However there are still a few points of inconsistency here
- If it's okay as long as there's no product, why are discussion of potential products like the Malaysia property report removed? Is solicitation of ideas not solicitation?
- Even if there were a product, it seems like as long as it's free and open source, it is okay. So as long as dashboard vibecoder shares the source code it will be okay?
- Many of the removed dashboards can also be argued to advance financial literacy since they help map out key numbers.
- As long as Kyith says it's okay it's okay? If that's the case then maybe the rules should be updated to make it clear that there is a process for getting approval from the mod team.
I think it's worth having an open discussion with the community instead of just me and the mod buried in an old thread. To be clear, the problem isn't with a specific person or a specific product, but the inconsistency of rules.
