View submission: Announcement: New Rules, Guidelines and Flair System
So I want to note that this post will remain stickied indefinitely to clarify our rules and guidelines, and thus people can go here to read more about the intent behind the rules.
That said, I'm worried about adding even more to an already word-heavy rule. In fact, I don't think reddit will allow us any more text than what we already have in that rule - maybe just a few more characters.

Thanks for responding. I think you're right that adding more probably isn't the right solution and that a sticky will help (especially if the bot links it).
Looking at the new rules, I think you've actually already done some work on my concern by not specifically saying *academic* philosophy. That honestly might be enough now that I think about it.
There is still this line about "Accurately portray the state of research and literature," which gives me the impression that I need to have good journal citations- even though the "(i.e. not inaccurate or false)" that follows does clarify that you just mean not outright inaccurate replies.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid. There's definitely enough information in the rules as is to provide the right guidance.
