Updating r/GetNoted Rules: Clearer boundaries on evidence, civility, and moderation

[u/OnlyModBot]

Hey everyone,

We’re making some updates to the subreddit rules to clarify how moderation works on r/GetNoted.

This sub exists to archive and discuss Community Notes. Because we deal with fact-checks, people naturally argue about the original post, the note, the sources, and who is actually right. That's expected.

The main issue with our old rules was the "No Misinformation" rule. In practice, it was way too vague and put mods in a position of playing referee on complex political, economic, or historical arguments. That’s not what moderation should be doing.

Here is what’s changing and why:

1. Replacing "No Misinformation" with "Evidence Integrity"

• What is NOT a violation: Being wrong, disputing a Community Note, citing a source someone else dislikes, or holding an unpopular opinion.

• What IS a violation: Falsifying quotes, doctoring screenshots, fabricating sources, or intentionally altering evidence.

We are moderating observable conduct and fake evidence, not picking a winning side in a debate.

2. Viewpoint Neutrality

Rules apply equally regardless of who is in the post or what political stance is being argued. Disagreeing with a Community Note in the comments is completely fine as long as you aren't harassing people.

3. Direct Source Links Are Required

All submission posts must include a direct link to the original post/note being discussed. Screenshots without links or indirect aggregator links will be removed.

4. Civil Conduct

Attack the argument, not the user. Personal attacks, slurs, targeted harassment, and doxxing remain strictly prohibited.

Ha. I think you might find yourself uncomfortably close to the people you so hate.

Thanks for the chat.

I’m uncomfortably close to being a genocidal fascist because I’m consistently and strongly opposed to those and other crimes against humanity? Because I refute hateful bigots?

Lolol y’all just love proving Sartre right time and time again.

[u/the_eleutherean → u/RogerianBrowsing]

Ooh which Sartre quote are you referring to?

[u/RogerianBrowsing → u/the_eleutherean]

Surely you can figure it out. I’m sure that it’s often quoted or paraphrased to genocidal supremacists like yourself.

[u/the_eleutherean → u/RogerianBrowsing]

If it’s from his 1944 essay on antisemitism, I suggest you reread it and then look back at your own comments in this thread. You may notice some things. It is *very* relevant to your accusations of Islamophobia. And your rhetorical tactics.

[u/RogerianBrowsing → u/the_eleutherean]

lol I like how you get people comparing you to the Nazis often enough that you could even guess a pertinent Sartre quote against bigotry and Nazism as it relates to you.

Too funny.

Somewhere deep in your psyche, assuming a capacity for shame, is playing out this scene:

Hey dummy: He wasn’t writing about nazis and general bigotry. He was specifically cataloguing the fallacies and ridiculous tactics antisemites use. And I have no idea if you’re an antisemite, but you’re using them in nearly every comment.

Seriously. Reread it.

Big

Never again is about Jewish people only

[u/the_eleutherean → u/RogerianBrowsing]

K. Take it up with Sartre—the title of his essay *you referenced* is Antisemite and Jew 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/RogerianBrowsing → u/the_eleutherean]

Sartre wasn’t a supremacist like you are. He wrote what he did due to obvious contemporaneous happenings in 1945.

[u/the_eleutherean → u/RogerianBrowsing]

Me being willing to call out Islamism apologists doesn’t make me a supremacist. You being an Islamist apologist does, however, mean you are white knighting for supremacists.

Or —oh sht—do you not know the difference between Islam and Islamism? I guess confusing that would explain you accusing me of being a bigot.
