![]() This sub is for talking WITH your opponents, not ABOUT them. If you think someone's out of line report it for the mods. Stop, count to 10, re-read your reply before sending it. If you reach an impasse don't get frustrated, try making use of argument techniques that can open the discussion up again like Socratic Questioning. You can't know if someone is arguing in bad faith. Try to separate the person from the argument. "All x always do y", "None of them can ever z". See the rule on staying on topic.Īvoid speaking for the other side, and blanket statements lumping your opponent in with your opinion of a group. No anything-phobic comments or drifting off into politics. This community aims to be low pressure, low stress, live-and-let-live. are acceptable if in good humour, "globetard" or "flattard" is just rude.Īvoid sarcasm, don't be condescending or passive-aggressive and don't bait people, poke fun or gloat.ĭon't hassle someone if they won't respond. ![]() Nicknames like "globehead", "flattie" etc. No calling anyone idiot, liar, shill, brainwashed etc. What's below should be enough to show you the spirit of the sub, and the mods are trusted to use their discretion as people who understand this. We don't want to be setting 1000 sub-rules and have mods quoting section 23.4b at you. Rules in brief: Be Nice, no spamming, stay on topic If you're the OP of a post addressed to one side and you don't get the engagement you wanted, you have the option of changing the flair to Open at any time. Means you don't mind who jumps in right from the start. If you see a post with this flair and you are a GE, please do not comment until an FE has at least begun to engage with the OP. Is for posts where a Globe Earther wants to talk with Flat Earthers. UPVOTES/DOWNVOTES: as well as the rules below, we ask that you consider voting based on how well you think a post or comment fits with the spirit of this sub, rather than whether you agree with it. ![]() If there's a bad vibe to the convo, that seed will never take root. Remember that even if you can't change someone's mind today, you might just plant an idea that grows later. This sub is intended to try and see what happens to flat-earth debates when the mods are neutral and the members behave cordially - not just at the start of a debate but all the way though, no matter how stupid one side thinks the other is being. They will warn, delete or temp ban for impolite behaviour but not for 'bad' arguments. Mods are referees, they don't get involved in debates. Experimental, neutral flat earth debate sub where everyone is expected to be nice to each other! ![]()
