Rules for r/craftofintelligence

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

1) Be Civil

It is perfectly okay to disagree with somebody's ideas but it is not okay for discussion to devolve to insults. Repeat violators will be banned. Let's keep this sub fun, intelligent, and informative for everybody and free from subreddit drama.

2) NO CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Speculation on a topic is one thing but full blown conspiracy theories (e.g. JFK, 9/11, US created ISIS etc.) will not be tolerated. Conspiracy theorist logic is not indicative of sound analysis.

3) NO LEAKS OR SHARING OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

Content from Wikileaks or any other source like it that is used for the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or classified information will not be tolerated. Offenders will be banned.

4) NO PARTISAN POLITICS

Nobody cares who you are voting for, against, or why you dislike them. However, intelligent criticism or defense of policies germane to this subreddit is perfectly acceptable as long as it does not devolve to purely partisan political sniping. We understand that in the current environment it is extremely difficult to remain totally apolitical when it comes to analyzing the issues pertaining to this subreddit. Please do your best to use sound arguments and to keep politics out of your analysis. Content from BLATANTLY political sources (I.E. Breitbart, Mother Jones, Oathkeepers, Huffington Post etc) or blatant political opinion pieces that offer nothing of real analytical value to this subreddit are not allowed. Untrustworthy, off topic and deceptive articles will not be tolerated (I.E. Wikipedia, ZeroHedge, RT, etc.). Investigative journalism from newspapers of record (New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, LA Times) and other well established sources known for publishing quality investigative content are fair game. There are subreddits dedicated to discussing purely partisan politics and this is NOT one of them. Please do your best to keep this sub from turning into the cesspool that is r/Politics.

Suggestions

PARTICIPATE. ENGAGE.

Please share any QUALITY news articles, book reviews, studies, reports, essays, historical documents, videos, podcasts or any other content from CREDIBLE sources that might be of interest to subscribers of this subreddit. Check out our Wiki on the front page of the subreddit and see our list of sources that we like to use for content. In addition, please try to engage in discussions. DO NOT simply report posts because you disagree with the conclusions made by the author and the evidence presented. Instead, explain why you disagree with the conclusions or make other criticisms in the comments section.

If you have any ideas or suggestions that you think will make this a better subreddit, please message the mods and we will give it serious consideration. We sincerely appreciate your participation in this subreddit.
