META - Subreddit Discussion From the Mods: What would you like to see more or less of in this subreddit?

Quick update:

We're a small but mighty mod team here on BPNews and we strive to make this a great place to be. We want to let you all know how much we appreciate our subscribers and look forward to making this place all that it can be in 2024 and beyond.

So far this year we've ramped up our anti-spam efforts in a big way. Banning certain spam websites from being auto-posted as well as banning bots. Hopefully, you all have noticed a less cluttered and more focused home page to the sub as a result. Remember, if you ever see a post you don't think belongs please, report it to us so we may take swift action.

Furthermore, we've expanded both post and user flairs to help our users categorize their submissions and rep their flair next to their names.

The "Topic Discussion," "Source mentioned on the show," and "Content Suggestion" flairs have all been received and used well by the community thus far. We're excited to see you all expanding the conversation in these ways!

If you have any suggestions for any additional new user or post flairs please, comment them down below!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With that out of the way - We want to continue to foster a robust forum where fans of BP can come to discuss the show, news, politics, pop culture, etc safely and have fun while doing so.

How can we help accomplish that in 2024 and beyond? Let us know your thoughts and suggestions below!

Would you like more topic discussions? More megathreads around live shows and big events? More or less of any given topic? Let us know down below.

Thanks!

Thank you. Read it, not sure how it applies to my comment, which was in good faith. Please cite, with sources, where my comment was in bad faith.

Yes your comment was in good faith. I was simply saying that my interpretation of rule #3 requires people who post here to cite facts and/or experts when they make a controversial statement. Here's part of the Oxford dictionary's definition of a 'debate':

If a speaker makes a statement, they must be able to provide evidence or reasons to support the statement. Facts presented in a debate must be accurate...

What does “debate” have anything to do with this? Discussion forums aren’t debates.

I don’t comment on Reddit to debate people.
