Lets make some rules

Lets make some rules - Pawb.Social

Since this community has (almost) no rules I think it is time to write some. As I’m not a fan of simple top-down ruling, I would like to create these rules with all of you. Here is how it should go: - write a rule you propose as a top-level comment (it can be just a description of the rule or a full wording) - discussions about proposals happen as comment-replies; if you want to suggest a better wording, do it as a top-level comment - rules with the most upvotes or last controversy will be included by me (but might be reworded)

I think there should be a rule against gatekeeping. This could be about gatekeeping gender identity, gatekeeping being a furry, or gatekeeping the way people are allowed to make their characters. A lot of other furry communities have problems with gatekeeping and I think we should take a stand against it.

And yes I do think this should include reductive ideas like “closed species” which have no legal basis and are often enforced by empty threats and harassment.

Do you think pawb.social/post/40809559/21025635 is enough to cover this?

I think it might be, a dedicated rule for gatekeeping might not actually be needed explicitly unless people start trolling others or complaining about usage of closed species. So I say we cross that bridge when we get there.
