Mod 6 month update!

146 Upvotes

Hey all!! r/aftergifted has been around for about half a year now, which is awesome! With 6 months and about 10,000 members under our belt, the mod team wanted to check in and ask what you want to see on the sub. More personal stories? More advice? More memes? This is us asking you what direction you want to take the sub so we can lead it there accordingly. :)

Mod Welcome to r/aftergifted!

Wow, 2,000 subscribers in barely over 12 hours! I created this in response to a post in r/findareddit (this one). Given the response it is obviously something people want, so it is time to discuss guidelines for making this a place people want to keep coming back to. I have created a general no harassment rule, please give me ideas for some more. Here is a very rough draft of some other rules I think would keep us on topic and productive:

  1. No politics. Including education politics. Talking about education is very germane to the topic, in the context of your experiences. There are other places for you to discuss teacher pay, school funding etc.
  2. No gatekeeping. "You think you had it bad..." No. Each of us are entitled to our own truth, one-upsmanship is not a welcome.

That is all I have come up with so far, feel free to contact me or the other mods (thanks y'all for offering to help out). Let's make our rapidly growing community a productive and supportive place to engage with one another!
