When and why do you change your community's rules?
As communities grow and evolve over time, it can be challenging to evolve your moderation practices to keep up. Day-to-day moderation decisions being focused on individual users and pieces of content can make it hard to take a step back and evaluate the overall impact of your rules and how you enforce them. For today's Mod Topic we want to talk about how to notice when it’s time to sit down with our mod teams to rewrite the rules.
- When was the last time you updated your rules?
- What prompted you to do so, and how big was the change?
- What advice do you have to share to other mods looking to make their rules easier to understand and enforce?
