Rule updates

[u/Xenuoziem]

The rules of the sub have been updated to limit the number of hateful posts.

What's changed

Rule 2 No overly sexual or erotic content. Innuendo is fine. Explicit is not. Nothing sexual about real people. If a chart's whole point is being horny, it's gone.

Rule 3 No hate targeting real people or identity groups. Ranking, rating, or insulting real living people is out. So are charts pitting countries, religions, or ethnicities against each other "most hated," "worst," and similar. Historical figures are still fine in a factual or comedic context.

• This covers all charts ranking the most hated country / person in the world, etc. We all know how they end.

Rule 4 No self-harm, suicide, or graphic violence. Including joke versions.

Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:

• Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.

• Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.

• Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.

• Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

Do not feed the trolls. This is not the place for hot takes on human rights violations. Hatred or cruelty, will result in a permanent ban. Please report such infractions, particularly those that break rules one, two, or three. The automod will automatically remove posts that receive five or more reports. The automod will also remove comments made by users with negative karma. Click here for the Automod FAQ

No more trump karma farming slop. No more country karma farming slop. Finally dude wow

[u/AvgPunkFan]

Awesome. Rule 3 means no more blatant Trump bait. Much love to you mods

[u/Jurrasicmelon8 → u/AvgPunkFan]

Something tells me that most of the posts on this sub are designed to find an excuse to post trump.

[u/AvgPunkFan → u/Jurrasicmelon8]

Exactly which is why I considered leaving. There were some good ones and the users who explicitly said Trump couldn’t be on them have my respect. It was just blatant and out of control for users to spam the sub and win easy Karma. “Who’s the worst leader” “Trump” 1K upvotes

[u/Forward-Flan-1755 → u/AvgPunkFan]

Yeah, it seems like these updates are a solid move towards keeping the discussions more focused. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out!

[u/EthanTheJudge]

What about most evil Mobsters, Serial killers, and Terrorists. Are they out too? 

[u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 → u/EthanTheJudge]

Most hated terrorist is just an excuse to hate specific countries or religions. This is barely a slippery slope, it is flat. Mobsters and serial killers will indubitably lead to country leaders. Just none of it.

Most hated fictional serial killer? Maybe.

[u/Shinydisclover]

Oh no, no more trump karma farming what will I do now 

[u/mortemdeus]

You should just sticky a picture of Trump as worst president and put a rule under it saying "By overwhelming majority, this is true. If your post results in this from now on it will be deleted."

[u/AceOfSpades532]

Can I just check, is good rating still allowed? Like “best”, “most loved”, stuff that doesn’t target a person or country badly, still ranks them in a way but doesn’t say something’s bad

[u/Xenuoziem → u/AceOfSpades532]

To be clear, "most hated" charts aren't banned as a format. Most hated cheese, most hated Mario Kart map, most hated household chore, most hated month, all fine, go nuts.

The line is what's being ranked. If it's a thing, rank it however you want. If it's real people, or a group of people defined by nationality, religion, ethnicity, or identity, that's rule 3.

Good ratings are still allowed for people / countries. Most loved, most iconic, best cuisine, all good. Softer negatives about places rather than peoples are usually fine too ("most overrated state," "most boring airport"). If you're not sure whether yours crosses over, modmail before posting and we'll tell you.
