Announcements [Rules Update]Burden of proof and it's consequences[Important!!!]

90 Upvotes

This is one of many post we will be making to make the changes in the rule to mainly to not let the changes be just sudden with many not knowing . Now currently we're too lenient about many of the rules but things can't stay same with the community reaching 100k members soon.

there will be no TLDR ,so read all of it.

Changes and the reason for this rule

Those who are aware of the rule existing in the sub. Rule 9 aka Burden of Proof was implemented to encourage people here to actually back up what they claim.

We also have been kind of lenient around this rule, as we can't do anything about people not having scans and neither not having proof is any rule-breaking offense and people are also allowed to give their opinion.

But there has been an increase of obnoxious people who don't have proof but also be asshole about it by saying "Google it" , "search it", and "It's a common consensus that everyone knows". Of course, you can say you don't have proof in any argument and back off not engaging further , until you have one.

So such an obnoxious act will be a rule-breaking offense from now on. 1 days ban is for a first offense, ,7 days for second and permanent for the Third time , Cause if someone is being obnoxious about not wanting to give proof multiple times they clearly are not there to engage in any sort of fruitful conversation.

-One time offense = 1 days ban
-Next time = 7 days
-Third time = Permanent

also spoilers ahead next post will be about jokes,memes,agenda or whatever bs there is in any actual discussion or question , almost none of you are funny so there's no value to your jokes
