We have posted our new official moderation policy and linked it, and the base rules it enforces, from the header.
This is a thread to centralize any discussion or questions on the policy in one place. Before we get started, I want to point out that the mods and I spent a great deal of time discussing how we wanted to handle this, including identifying both the specific problematic behaviors and the consequences for engaging in them. Please also note that it's not our intention to censor anyone (which is why we're moving away from post deletions as a general rule) or squelch discussion, but instead to be transparent and try to facilitate people talking in a genial, constructive way. Everyone can disagree; we just want people to disagree in a friendly -- or at least professional -- way. The underlying rules of the forum have not changed. We've just standardized our approach to moderation so it'll be more consistent, so there'll be consequences for those who repeatedly cause problems, and so everyone knows what the expectations are.
So, here, you can ask questions and discuss the new policy. As always, please be respectful and constructive. Thanks.
