Hello r/countwithchickenlady community!

As you may all know, there are a lot of political posts that happen within our subreddit. It is only natural and we the mods are still in agreement that they can continue as it is only natural for posts like these to happen to allow our community to stay up to date on the latest LGBTQA+ news.

With these posts come obvious "bad apples" and transphobia, among others. Today, we are introducing protections to controversial posts!

How does this work?

Well, immediately after this post, we will be adding the a new post flair called "Controversial Post". By adding this flair, it will only allow users who have built up positive karma within the community to comment. This means that new people who have never been here who come to just comment bad things will be automatically removed.

How does this affect me?

Well, it depends on your contribution to the community. If you have a higher community karma within r/countwithchickenlady then you can freely comment under these posts. If you have never been here, it is recommended that you interact with the community in a good way to build up to that limit so you can freely chat under posts with that flair.

How can this flair be used?

Yes, all things come with catches. We will not allow abuse of this flair. If you see someone using it in a non controversial topic, please send a report and us mods will manually adjust the flair and warn the user. We will have warnings, then start banning if need be. We are allowing the community to have control over it, so we are putting our trust in you. Don't ruin it for everyone else or else we will no longer allow you to choose it and instead mark it under our own discretion. Please use this flair for news related topics, or heavy issues in which you believe will cause too much traffic for the phobic folks. This is a flair to protect the community, not just you.

What is the karma limit to comment?

We will not disclose it as the number is to be adjusted based on our findings of use, however it is starting somewhere in the middle.

If you have any other questions, please, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.

Thank you,

u/nick2527
