New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." (lemmy.world)

Due to the large number of reports we've received about recent posts, we've added Rule 7 stating "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."

In general, we allow a post's fate to be determined by the amount of downvotes it receives. Sometimes, a post is so offensive to the community that removal seems appropriate. This new rule now allows such action to be taken.

We expect to fine-tune this approach as time goes on. Your patience is appreciated.

I don’t really take issue with dozens of posts by newbies asking the same basic question over and over. I used to be one and am occasionally back there again if I start a new hobby. Hopefully newcomers don’t get pushed off by overly sensitive moderation.

I'm not sure if I agree with this, unless you need clarification on something specific the forum like nature and search should allow you to find answers to previous questions without asking it again.

But I do agree overmoderation is bad. I swear if communities start implementing a karma system...

Lemmy apps already have karma systems.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What?? which ones?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Probably any with tags is what they mean, considering I have them tagged as a transphobe, I'm sure lots of people have.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My question was so bad I cannot understand what I ment by which ones.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Which apps for Lemmy have a form of karma.

Voyager, for example, tracks how much you have upvoted or downvoted each user, which is so highly localized I can't consider it a karma system.

The person you replied to is probably mad because they get down voted a lot for being shitty.
