Changes to Moderation
After months of previous attempts to negotiate a peaceful transfer of ownership of the subreddit and being turned down repeatedly, we have officially taken over the largest Castellum subreddit. This is a significant moment for all of us investors alike, for every shareholder who supported this community, and for everyone else who was ever unfairly removed from this community.
The previous owner of this subreddit banned a combined 500 members from this forum. Users were removed because they disagreed with the owner, asked questions he didn't welcome, or simply existed as a presence he didn't want in a space he treated as his own platform. The first actions we took upon taking ownership was to restore access to every single one of those members. Every user removed in this subreddit has been welcomed back, and every user who was previously banned under any established rule during that period has also been unbanned. We understand that these users didn't deserve what happened, and we're committed to ensuring that never happens again.
With that being said, here's what this community will look like going forward:
Whether you just joined this community and have no idea what Castellum is, or you just purchased your first shares of the company and are still trying to learn about what the company does, or you've spent months like us pulling information and studying Castellum and its growth with due diligence, you have a place here in this community. The goal has always been a community where the experience level doesn't get to determine your worth here as a member. The users asking foundational questions today is often the person contributing towards actual real and sourceable analysis eventually, and therefore we believe in that progression and we intend to support it.
The standard of information in this community will be changing. When something is confirmed either through an SEC filing, a federal contract database, a press release, or any verified source, we will distinguish that from a thesis, or an educated read on a pattern we're tracking, or a connection we believe is real but hasn't been publicly confirmed yet. This distinction matters because your decisions should be based on understanding not just what the information says but how solid the ground under it actually is. The community is gaining a bigger platform at exactly the right time, the contracts are continuing to be known, and Castellum's fundamentals are growing for every shareholder to see. We want to make sure we stay on top of this information so that the community can make the best informed decisions possible.
This subreddit serves as an open forum for questions, discussion, and news sharing while our Discord server is where the deeper research conversations will continue to happen. You may feel free to use one, use both, or move between them depending on what you need on a given day. The rules governing both communities are synchronized as the standard we set should be consistent regardless of which platform you desire to be more active on. On the subject of rules, we have them and we will enforce them but we are not a community that aims to be heavy-handed with moderation. As long as users are conducting themselves appropriately with the rules we've established, we have no interest in nitpicking or over-enforcing rules. This is meant to be an open, productive space for investor discussion and we trust the community to carry itself accordingly. With that being said, we will always continue to enforce, without exception, respect among all members in this server as well as any inappropriate content posted. Any messages, media, or discussion deemed too suggestive, explicit, or otherwise inappropriate for this server will be removed, and we ask that members show professionalism. This is subject to moderator discretion as we tend to be more laxed with regards to mems and other related forms of content.
Over the coming weeks, more information will be posted in the interest of communicating more effectively about the company, what it does, and much more. We anticipate that the website re-design launch for Castellum will provide much more information about their products and technology, of which are hugely important and valuable to understand their scope of work. We appreciate everyone who has been a part of this community and we look forward to continuing to build something valuable here together.
