Good morning and a happy Friday to all (or apologies if its no longer Friday)! We wanted to take a moment to talk about a few changes we are making, but also asking for community input on a few other things.

First, an update for rule 2 - the "Good Faith" rule. We've added to this that all submissions must adhere to proper capitalization, punctuation and grammar.

What does this mean? Posts like this will no longer be allowed (sorry to call you out). In the future, all posts must follow the common rules of English writing. no more writing like this i mean please no more god no more. It should be "No more writing like this, I mean please no more, god no more." Capitalize, attempt to use proper grammar and punctuation. This doesn't mean we're going to become grammar nazi's, but give it that good ol' college try.

Next, a clarification for rule #3 - what does "fact based" mean? Ideally, it means a source for whatever you claim, especially facts in dispute, even more if that's the origin of the question. Further, remember that if you are asked for a source, you need to provide one. Ideally every answer should include at least one source, if not more or many more. For example, this recent answer was very good and actually referenced something - ideally you'd toss in a link to the case at least. This isn't meant, though, that you need to provide sources for common political knowledge - you don't need to cite that there are 435 members of Congress or that the President can sign executive orders or executive agreements. But for the former, perhaps in your argument you need to cite the law that capped the representatives at 435.

Finally, two ideas we wanted to run by the community.

1. During the SCOTUS terms, especially when decisions are expected, should we have an ongoing megathread? Many of these cases turn political very quickly (such as the bump-ban decision this morning) and often times we see a big influx. However, megathreads can devolve into insanity at times, so there is a trade off.

2. At what level of repeated questions should we use as a deciding factor to create a megathread? We usually try to stay ahead of questions by watching headlines and such, but even we can get it wrong or it could be a subject that is a ground swell.

If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them here and you're always welcome to messages the mods.

Again, I hope everyone has a wonderful Happy Friday and a better weekend!
