Increase in rude comments and a shocking number of bigoted comments, warrant this reminder of rule 1.

Mean, rude, hurtful, hateful, hostile, insulting, name-calling, harassing, entitled, derogatory, sexually suggestive or any other negative remarks ruining this safe space,  will result in a ban. Report all violations.

We work very hard to keep this sub a safe space. Our members have not come here to be subjected to ogling, belittling, etc. We do not care if your humour is “edgy”, or cursing/insults/name-calling/catcalling is how you express yourself. Save that for your personal life, or people who consent to it.

In this sub, considerate conduct is required. Interact as courteously

Tldr: Sub content will be purely user driven. We are assessing member reactions to baseline posts, without mod influence enhancing quality or chances of engagement. 

This is not a Free for All. Everyone is responsible for policing themselves.

The mods’ communication style is to share context for transparency. Both of us tend to write long. TLDRs are included in longer sections.

Background Context on Manual Moderation/Post Removal Process

[10 months ago, our most recent community vote framed the current posting rules.](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianSkincareAddicts/comments/17fbq3r/announcement_poll_results_revised_rules_in_effect/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_

Just to recap, stringent rules, formats and guidelines were brought in 5 months ago. While we received immediate positive feedback, around 2 months ago, we started receiving negative feedback. So after a 1 week free for all, we posted a poll to figure out the kind of moderation or lack thereof members wanted. Poll was open for a week,  closed on 18th October 2023 at midnight and results were counted.

You can find the post discussing moderation types in each option here and the actual poll along with details of the ranked preference weightage [here](https://www.reddit.c

Options: You can find the details of rules that will be enforced and how moderation will work in each option here

To Summarise, the options are

1️⃣ Non-curated Feed: Feed will continue to look like what it has been during this free for all week. Posting rules will be completely removed. Other rules will continue to be enforced.

2️⃣ User Curated Content : We will not curate the feed or otherwise act on any posts or comments unless members report them. All content will be completely user driven. You
