Community standards

So we need some sort of community guidelines, and we thought that the community ought to be the ones to decide.

What do people think?

Speaking not as a mod, just as me personally, I think the general guideline of "don't be a dick" and "Hiding spoilers is part of not being a dick" works.

I agree with the general "don't be a dick" rule, and I like the rule that sort of evolved where you don't have spoilers in top-level comments.

Are there going to be weekly posts for general happenings, or do we want to just wait until the first one gets unwieldy and then start a new one?

I'm thinking weekly posts, but wanted to let the current post run for a week or so and start with a new one on Sunday morning when things are slow.

"Don't be a dick" sounds good to me. No spoilers in top comments also is very nice.

Honestly, for me, those are the two most important things.

Yeah, "Don't be a dick" works. (Although really isn't that offensive to a perfectly nice sexual organ...) ;)

One thing, when I needed to describe Spoils in the wake of The Thing, I called it a group blog. And that term really resonated with me. So I don't know, just throwing that out there.

The other thought that crosses my mind is would it be valuable to have maybe a separate post for Verbs threads that didn't get replaced every week? I'm thinking it's more convenient if you can see an entire thread for a book or game or whatever at once. And with fewer people posting here, it might be more feasible. Obviously at some point you'd want to start a new post when it got unwieldy, but maybe just less frequently? I dunno, thoughts? Would it be too annoying to keep up with two posts at once, one for conversations and whatever and one for Verbs stuff?

That's an interesting idea, and I'm willing to do it.
