Should we keep allowing anonymous posts and comments in /polls?

    This is one I have mixed feelings on. We don't wanna discourage people from commenting on more contentious and/or embarrassing polls - but, at the same time, make sure everyone follows the rules that you have laid out.

    • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 4:38 PM

      If anything, I feel like this sub would die if we disallowed anon posting.

      • blues_sevenfoldOct 05, 2016 at 4:39 PM

        That's a good point. Truth to be told, I replied as "anon" on a few occasions.

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 4:39 PM

        I know.

    • blues_sevenfoldOct 05, 2016 at 4:38 PM

      That said, I probably should abstain from the more fannish (Jimmy Reed, Avenged Sevenfold, and blues music) type of polls - since we have people o0f varying interests here. And also the social justice stuff, which there are other communities for.

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 4:39 PM

        Yeah, it might be a good idea to keep the very specific/niche polls to their respective communities, and to keep the polls here more general-interest.

      • blues_sevenfoldOct 05, 2016 at 4:40 PM

        Fair enough. I just wish people had let me know that in a less passive-aggressive manner.

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 4:41 PM

        I agree. That's why I put that in the rule clarification.

      • blues_sevenfoldOct 05, 2016 at 4:42 PM

        Yeah, thanks very much for that. <3

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 4:48 PM

        Yeah, being passive-aggressive is very disrespectful.

  • bluedepthOct 05, 2016 at 1:50 PM

    Let the moderation and rules apply to all. Even the anon.

    • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 3:00 PM

      Are you seeing a difference in how I'm treating the two different types of posts/comments?

      • bluedepthOct 05, 2016 at 3:25 PM

        I haven't seen anything, except I'm not in the middle of it either. :/

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 3:26 PM

        Then I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about in terms of treating anon/non-anon differently?

      • bluedepthOct 05, 2016 at 3:29 PM

        I suppose I was approaching it by the poll question, allowing anon in polls. That if there were any abuses in the anon poll responses to let the rules and moderation structure prevail. Didn't know there were specific cases, just thought there was general cases. So, ignore me! Bubububububububub :)

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 3:31 PM

        Haha. The same rules apply to both anon and non-anon posts and comments. That's how we've been dealing with it, and that's how I plan on dealing with it in the future.

  • Salaam4EveryoneOct 05, 2016 at 12:09 PMΔ

    I'm guessing you too saw /show_of_hands, and their welcoming post?

    • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 12:11 PM

      Yeah. I'm sad, because I had no idea people felt this way. I wish they would have voiced their concerns somehow... maybe by participating?

        I knew some people were dissatisfied with how things were going here. It's part of the reason I wanted to join. I didn't realize people wanted a totally new community, though.

        Hopefully we can work together, and hopefully the members can send us messages regarding their worries, and we'll make this community great.

        Maybe you should make a post telling users with complaints to write us a message, and informing them you are adding more leaders to deal with unsavory characters?

      • GuyDudemanOct 05, 2016 at 2:58 PM

        Sure, good idea.

        Thanks! I am trying!

      • Salaam4EveryoneOct 05, 2016 at 6:06 PM

        Wow, thank you very much :)!

        If what you say about me is true, I hope I can use it to contribute to ensuring this community stays happy and safe.

        Thanks again, and have a good night/day! :)

        I love Imzy. Such nice people :).

      • AnonTurbinesJolieOct 05, 2016 at 6:15 PM

        They're nice unless you don't like Hillary Clinton. Then they're not so nice.

      • Salaam4EveryoneOct 05, 2016 at 6:29 PM

        I've expressed the fact that I am not in support of (and am in disapproval of) Secretary Clinton. I've never gotten harassed. I've even got some likes.

        We're all bound to have some opinion that others don't agree with, and that's fine; that's what diversity is all about, and Imzy is all about diversity.

        However, we have to know the time, place, and manner in which we should discuss those things. So if we know the community we're in has a large number of Clinton supporters, we should probably keep our opinions to ourselves, or share them on communities with views akin to ours. I'm not saying you did anything wrong; I don't know what your particular experience was. I'm just saying what I try to exercise.

        I personally try my best (although I often fail often) at following the words, "speak good or remain silent." Maybe something I say will be taken as good by some people, but taken as bad by others, so I have to know when it is appropriate to speak my opinion. I also have to be careful with how I phrase things. I find that I can often word something crudely or in a way that could anger and offend other people. I try to be cautious about this, especially when I know I am speaking unpopular messages.

        (I hope you don't take this as me telling you that you did something wrong, or you deserve the treatment you got. I just thought I would share my own experiences to suggest how we might all function together in a healthy way while still keeping our diverse thoughts.)

        I hope your experience on Imzy becomes better!

      • AnonTurbinesJolieOct 05, 2016 at 6:39 PM

        Thanks! Great advice! I just wish everyone followed the same principles.
