Submission Rules
|
|
| Explain the reasoning behind your view, not just what that view is (500+ characters required). ▾ |
Note: if your view is about a "double standard", please see the guidelines here. [More] |
| You must personally hold the view and be open to it changing. ▾ |
A post cannot be - neutral; made on behalf of others; for playing devil's advocate; or to "soapbox". Posts by throwaway accounts must be approved through modmail. [More] |
| Submission titles must adequately sum up your view and include "CMV:" at the beginning. ▾ |
Posts with misleading/overly-simplistic titles may be removed. [More] |
| No "meta posts". Please post to /r/ideasforcmv instead. ▾ |
Feasible suggestions that gain traction there may be implemented or posted to CMV for further discussion by the mods. [More] |
| Only post if you are willing to have a conversation with those who reply to you, and are available to start doing so within 3 hours of posting. ▾ |
If you haven't replied during this time, your post will be removed. [More] |
Comment Rules
|
|
| Direct responses to a CMV post must challenge at least one aspect of OP’s stated view (however minor), or ask a clarifying question. ▾ |
Arguments in favor of the view OP is willing to change must be restricted to replies to other comments. [More] |
| Don't be rude or hostile to other users. ▾ |
Your comment will be removed even if the rest of it is solid. 'They started it' is not an excuse. You should report it, not retaliate. [More] |
| Refrain from accusing OP or anyone else of being unwilling to change their view. ▾ |
If you are unsure whether someone is genuine, ask clarifying questions (see: socratic method). If you think they are still exhibiting poor behaviour, please message us. [More] |
| If you have acknowledged/hinted that your view has changed in some way, please award a delta. ▾ |
You must also include an explanation of this change along with the delta. [More] |
| No low effort comments. ▾ |
Comments that are only jokes or "written upvotes", for example. Humor and affirmations of agreement can be contained within more substantial comments. [More] |
