Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

MODERATORS
Hi everyone!
As a mod, I started getting some reports on people commenting doomer stuff under posts. They're not really great, they're demotivating and most importantly not really fit this communities vibe. I'm not fond of them, but I can't go removing comments and banning people left and right, because technically, they not breaking any rules. So I feel that the community discussion is in order.
If we going to implement a rule against doomers, I think it is very important to define the rule clearly, for it not to be too broad. So I propose the phrasing "blatant doomerism". Here are examples:
- Blatant doomerism\doomer trolling (comment gets removed, user banned if spams to many comments like this):
- adequate discussion with some doomerism (nothing gets to be done by mods, discussion in the comments goes as usual)
So, the discussion is welcome. If I missed anything, or even if it's not needed and there should be no change to the rule set, or you have anything to add, feel free to comment.
Update: rule is added, up and running! If you have critique or something to add feel free to comment here.

What is your decision about this?
Also will you remove 2 other mods as they don't seem to be active anymore?
Ope, sorry, I've disconnected for a bit because of personal stuff.
I'm going to implement the rule in the next couple of days I think, if no major stuff against it is presented.
As for other mods: I don't know. Deviant is the original creator of the community, I feel it would be unfair to kick them out. For TheGayDude I don't know. All n all I think it's unnecessary, they not causing any trouble, so I'd let them be for now.
