[META] WPT Poll: Add Temp Rule: No Political Posts? (slrpnk.net)

Atleast until after election time IMO.

As is pointed out on every @return2ozma post, there's other subs for that if you want to talk politics. Its clear the community is not enjoying the posts, they are heavily downvoted and spawn angry discourse every single time. Downvoting alone doesn't effectively filter the posts because of the small amount of content overall. Even heavily controversial posts are on the front page for weeks.

This is supposed to be a place to look at funny tweets not get infuriated at the US political system every time I open my feed.

Since there's no poll system implemented as far as I can tell...

1 Upvote = 1 vote to add rule against political posts

1 Downvote = 1 vote to keep the rules as they are

Hey fair enough, limited bandwith for everyone. If I'm tired of seeing them I cant imagine how you feel.

Have you considered posting a call for other mods to help share the load? Maybe I missed it, haven't been on here THAT long.

Ya I think I'm at the point where the sub has overrun the one moderator and it is no longer fun for me and I'll just unsub.

Best of luck. Oh and I think the bot you are looking for is called SantaBot to delete based off voting thresholds.

Seriously, just block the one dude and I think your problems will be over. Thanks for understanding and I'll check out that bot.

I agree with this. I can't believe how much banning one or two prolific assholes made my lemmy better.
