Good morning, /r/ask_politics! With the mid-terms about to get underway, the mods here would like to remind everyone of our rules. The sidebar contains a small summary, but if you have any questions, first look at our detailed rules.

We get a lot of submissions and even more comments, so for us to make this a place of discussion and to answer these questions, we ask that you report anything you think breaks these rules. We try and monitor as best we can, but there's no substitute for the extra eyeballs you all bring to the table.

There's one other thing to note - if you ask someone for a source, please also report that comment. We'll not adjudicate it when we see it but allow the person to edit and add sources. If its not done in a reasonable amount of time, we'll decide whether to leave it up or not.

Finally, we're watching and enforcing the rules. And as you might guess, as things get more impassioned as the elections draw closer, there will be more to do. We appreciate your help.
