Hello people!

First of all we would like to thank you all for the huge interest in the cultural exchange with /r/AskAnAmerican. We are very happy with how smoothly it went overall.

Of course we are interested in your feedback:

• Should we host one of these exchanges again in the future?
• What do you think the right interval for these would be?
• How was your experience in this past exchange?

Miscellaneous news and changes to the subreddit

Downvoting of controversial opinions
We want to again remind you that the downvote-button is not a "disagree-with-you"-button. Too often opinions that are not popular on this subreddit are being downvoted despite being voiced absolutely reasonably.

To further discourage this we have changed the time until everyone can see the votes to an hour.

Repetitive questions
Based on the feedback of the last feedback thread we have introduced a new rule: There is now a "cooldown" on questions already asked during the previous 7 days. We want to stop questions from becoming stale and boring really quickly by being asked way too frequently.

We have settled on 7 days, because we also think that having a question every once in a while about an issue is not necessarily a bad thing since it also gives more people the opportunity to join the discussion.
