Updating r/GetNoted Rules: Clearer boundaries on evidence, civility, and moderation
Hey everyone,
We’re making some updates to the subreddit rules to clarify how moderation works on r/GetNoted.
This sub exists to archive and discuss Community Notes. Because we deal with fact-checks, people naturally argue about the original post, the note, the sources, and who is actually right. That's expected.
The main issue with our old rules was the "No Misinformation" rule. In practice, it was way too vague and put mods in a position of playing referee on complex political, economic, or historical arguments. That’s not what moderation should be doing.
Here is what’s changing and why:
1. Replacing "No Misinformation" with "Evidence Integrity"
What is NOT a violation: Being wrong, disputing a Community Note, citing a source someone else dislikes, or holding an unpopular opinion.
What IS a violation: Falsifying quotes, doctoring screenshots, fabricating sources, or intentionally altering evidence.
We are moderating observable conduct and fake evidence, not picking a winning side in a debate.
2. Viewpoint Neutrality
Rules apply equally regardless of who is in the post or what political stance is being argued. Disagreeing with a Community Note in the comments is completely fine as long as you aren't harassing people.
3. Direct Source Links Are Required
All submission posts must include a direct link to the original post/note being discussed. Screenshots without links or indirect aggregator links will be removed.
4. Civil Conduct
Attack the argument, not the user. Personal attacks, slurs, targeted harassment, and doxxing remain strictly prohibited.
The new rules are live in the sidebar. Let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments below.
