motherjones has a known bias. It's interesting sometimes, but for opinion pieces.

    /r/Politics is a subreddit for current U.S. political news and information only.

So bloggers are also almost by definition out. I'm not saying it's the best way to run a subreddit, but it's definitely not the worst way, and definitely an improvement from the previous rules. Also, they asked for community involvement in these rule changes as far as I know. So.

And it still isn't remotely relevant to hubski. Anyone who's spent more than six days here knows that administrator censorship is basically impossible* under the current system.

*although you really should have some sort of page explaining your zero-tolerance policy for porn etc. someplace just so that that's even more crystal clear. Maybe you already do. I don't know.

Such things were discussed tonight. There will be more transparency in to such things to come.

Is there a zero tolerance policy against porn? I had no idea. Glad I don't see it but never heard that there was such a policy.

We are working on getting something out that is more concrete but the general rule of thumb is that we aren't interested in hosting pornography. What is pornography? As Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart famously said, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it.."

Other than that, people generally have the ability to post what they want. If someone doesn't like it, they can ignore and or mute them.

So that's an invitation to send you a bunch of "is this porn?" PMs, right?

Let's let the "tests" occur naturally, please :)

I mean, since your policy is clearly already the correct one, I'd just say an ultra-simple rules page would suffice, right?

I agree. I think it is important to have such policies in place and stick to them. It's best if the policies are in place before they become an issue or else you get into all sorts of typical internet drama.
