The subreddit
Good Afternoon all.
I just wanted to come out and make a quick statement as I feel somethings might have been forgotten especially with all the new people who come and go.
- We are a free speech subreddit.
While this does mean you can say next to anything you want this does not mean that we do not have to follow reddits rules and some others to keep the conversations going which is why I normally look out for rabble rousers more than I look out for people breaking rule 4 for example as sometimes with heated conversation we can lash out and normally its a pattern not a once off.
- Reporting of posts YOU do not like.
People we need to use our words and talk about these things with each other even if it is uncomfortable so if someone posts something you dislike have a conversation with them about why you don't like it and hear what they have to say. We all grew up different even if you lived next to each other and can learn from each other. Do not let the hate win.
- Complaining about posters posting too much.
Everyone is welcome to post what every they want about South Africa as long as its relevant and not purposely trying to rabble rouse. For example posting something about Apartheid and the evils within it is fine, but posting "revenge" content because you dislike what someone else posted isn't ok and will be monitored.
These are not new rules but just clarity on the system and if you have issues people do not hesitate in dropping a mod mail.
