genuine question about moderation that I am slightly embarrassed to ask

Discussion

genuine question about moderation that I am slightly embarrassed to ask, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion.

Read the ranking formula out of scepticism and reproduced the ordering in a spreadsheet. It does what it says.

A rule-change proposal needs replacement wording because that is what can be evaluated. Without it there is nothing to compare against the current text.

Proposed a rule change here with actual wording and it was adopted. That is the process working and it is not fast.

Research-use-only material is not approved for human use and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to use it.

best — the order this archive was captured in

Vendor source pages carry an outbound link to the supplier’s own storefront, marked nofollow and sponsored, disclosed on the page and again on the funding page. Nothing is received for it.

Yes. Nobody here is paid and the disclosure page says so in tedious detail, which is the correct level of tedious.

Complained about a rule without proposing anything and was politely pointed at this page. Fair.

Checked the sponsor disclosure because I assumed it would be vague. It was extremely specific and slightly boring.

Checked the sponsor disclosure because I assumed it would be vague.

This is the principle the whole site is built on. Publish it or do not enforce it.

Same view — strict evidence rules make this board slower and make the archive worth reading in three years.

this place sells nothing and takes nothing from any supplier

Sorted by controversial for a week and found four of the best threads I have read here.

This is the principle the whole site is built on.

Adding the practical note — the formula is published and you can reproduce the ordering yourself.

Which rule specifically, and which part of it?

removals get explained publicly where the rule allows it

Moderation of individual cases happens in modmail rather than in threads, because a public discussion of one person’s removal is worse for that person than a private one.

c/meta rules
  1. Moderation appeals go through modmail first; Meta is for policy, not individual cases.
  2. Rule-change proposals need a concrete wording suggestion.
  3. Sponsor and disclosure questions are always answered publicly.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
