This is a work in progress since I've never created my own community nor moderated one. Bare with me, but the goal is to create a reference community for data and sources. All logic all the time. While I get this built and you'd like to post something that seems on brand, then go right ahead. However, here are some starter rules
- No NSFW
- No bigotry (this is a coverall. I'm a stickler for phrasing, so choose your words carefully).
- Debate, don't debase
- It's another person on the other side of the screen. Golden Rule applies
- No bias unless it is part of the data and you remain neutral in any description you create.
- Citations are required.
- No insults (back-handed or otherwise).
- Curse/cuss/swear all you want, BUT curse to people. Not at them.
- Trolling, brigading, targeting, harassment will not be tolerated. ZERO tolerance
- None of us are perfect, so if your argument in a certain case comes to nothing, admit that. You'll get more respect and appreciation for learning something rather than rage quitting a discussion
- It's only me on the mod team so far, so please use best judgement to report things. That way, I can respond to the issues in a timely fashion

MODERATORS
I'd like to think that they author used the most popular ideas of communism. I read the Britannica article before I posted, but did not read the Wikipedia one. However I did read about the author of the article that I link:
Saddique Ansari - A Level Economics lecturer since 2003. Completed MBA in 2005, currently serving Bloomfield Hall Upper School Multan. Regularly producing pieces for Economics Online and reviewing content strategy and production.
If he avoided the sub-sections of communism, I'm going to give him the benefit-of-the-doubt that it was for a good reason.
HOWEVER, I'm trying to structure my community for different views and opinions to meet and hopefully find some common ground to agree on. The only caveat is that it's understood that there will be difference of opinion and express it respectfully like you did
