View submission: Rules Explanations and Reminders
Could you provide specific examples of the degrees for infractions (such as "What?!")?
Mostly I'm interested to know where the line is drawn. I feel like this sub has slowly gone downhill over the past year, and I'm hoping that this will start pushing things back.
For example, a comment I'll see up voted from time to time is something along the lines of "Young people support Sanders because they are naive." This comment is low effort, and though it's not directly attacking a particular user, it is definitely an attack on the character of any young Sander's supporters (some of whom I'm sure do participate in the sub). It's not exactly as harsh as other ad hominem's you are probably more concerned with, but I do still think it deteriorates the sub's quality nonetheless.

Yeah, we see a lot worse. When we see something like that we just remove. If that sentence was then followed up by an explanation on how they are naive and why this means they support a candidate, that is likely OK.
The problem with a lot of this is it is going to be very case-by-case and context specific. The examples I gave above are the more black and white items. Anything that is reported we will review. You can also drop us a line in modmail if you come across something that you think is borderline but should be reviewed.
I promise we don't bite. Well, unless you stand in between me and the once a year I can get girl scout cookies. Even then not much :-P
