As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here.
Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here.
The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules:
- Be Kind to each other
- No Hate speech
- Dont harass people
- No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination
- Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic)
- Do not double post
Should also include: don’t invite violence against people who simply own cars.
I don’t think it needs to be as specific as that why bit just don’t incite violence. Period. Otherwise, it’s making a statement about the community as a whole. (also, this is already covered by the rules)
Yep. Even the Netherlands makes their car appropriate paths great for cars.
Cars are still needed for distances too far to walk or to cycle at times when public transport doesn’t run
I wish it weren’t so, but it is so.
A blanket rule like that is deeply troubling. I’m glad the mods ignored you.
Our goal is to peacefully encourage more people to cycle and convince car owners to use their car for less trips when viable to do so. A lot of people own cars, would calling them Nazis really help our cause?
My vision is we make cyclists and public transit users look like responsible happy citizens and attract jealousy of those stuck in traffic.
