Hello users of Hexbear, the mod team wishes to announce that going forward:
- Moderators will be asked to remove comments that are off-topic, unproductive to the post's discussion, hostile, or wrecker-jacketing/alt-jacketing.
- Moderators will be asked to lock posts that become excessively hostile and are unable to sustain productive discussion.
- Moderators will be asked to remove meta posts and comments that are not in the feedback community.
- Moderators will be asked to remove posts made to call out other users directly or indirectly
Anyone suspecting a user to be a wrecker, report and move on, publically calling the user a wrecker does not help, and in the case of a genuine post actively harms.
Please do not use account age as a test for the validity of a user, as there are many 2-year-old accounts that resurface to troll, and we wish to reduce hostility, especially against users with new accounts.
Please engage with fellows users positively and assume good-faith until proven otherwise!
As with other rules, the code of conduct will soon be updated and users repeatedly violating the code of conduct will be banned.
Thank you and Viva Hexbear!

Generally very good, but I agree with others that "off-topic" moderation presents a very squishy license for removal of content that is easily abused.
