A note about controversial posts

Hey guys, since there have been [a few] (https://www.reddit.com/r/Harvard/comments/6a38dk/progress_harvard_to_hold_blacksonly_graduation/) controversial threads on this subreddit in the past few months, I just wanted to update you on our subreddit's policy on controversial posts.

First and foremost, we do not tolerate name-calling, racism, rude behavior, and other uncivil discussion. This should go without saying. This goes on both sides; please don't resort to ad-hominem attacks by calling someone racist or rude names. This subreddit represents Harvard and and should be governed by reason, respect, and politeness.

With this said, I want it to be clear that we do not censor here. Your comments or posts will not be removed unless they egregiously break our (or Reddit's) rules. We value the discussion of different ideas and want to hear all sides of a debate. However, we do reserve the right to lock a thread whose discussion is going nowhere and is causing uncivil behavior or vote-brigading.
