Howdy all!

Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen some calls for using Rule 9 more often. So, we've put together this very brief - only two questions - survey to see how you all feel about the subject. Also, please read below for some context on this issue, if you'd like.

Take the survey!

What is Rule 9?

To clarify, Rule 9 is something that we use when we feel that a topic is posted too much about. This is when we feel that a specific topic is flooding the subreddit and new posts about it don't add much to the overall discussion, unfortunately. As of right now, we rarely use Rule 9.

Discussion on Enforcing Rule 9 More:

In our minds, we can see how being lax regarding Rule 9 and how being strict about Rule 9 can both continue to create a great community.

On one hand, if we continued to be lax regarding Rule 9 - as we are now - this will benefit the constant influx of new players and visitors, who have not seen these things before. However, long-time visitors may notice that certain posts are made pretty often, but not often enough for us to use Rule 9.

On the other hand, if we were to be strict about Rule 9, we'd use it more to ensure that a greater number of posts are unique content. This would benefit veteran players and long-time visitors of this subreddit. However, new players and new visitors of community may never see or be able to post the content that is deemed to be removed under Rule 9.

Do you think any specific thing should have Rule 9 applied to it?

We've also included a question where you can write down something that you feel is too repetitive in the subreddit. Ultimately, we will use this information to determine if we should apply Rule 9 to anything right now based on everyone's feedback.

Conclusion:

Hopefully this gives a good, quick overview of both sides of the issue. We'd really appreciate anyone who fills out this short survey! If you have any questions about the survey or would like us to clarify anything, please let us know down below in the comments section as we'd be glad to help.
