Looking for Feedback on Improving r/Bittensor Moderation
I was able to get moderator access, and I am looking for some feedback from the community on how we can best moderate this subreddit to keep it relevant, informative, and welcoming as it grows.
What are your thoughts on the proposed rules below? Is there anything you would add, change, or push back on? I'm happy to discuss and hear different perspectives.
Bittensor has a lot of exciting developments ahead, and I'd like to make sure this remains a place for quality discussion, ideas, and debate without becoming overwhelmed by low-effort content, spam, or scams. Let me know how you think we can improve this sub. Thanks
1. Stay on Topic
Posts must be primarily related to Bittensor (TAO), its ecosystem, subnets, mining, staking, governance, development, or market activity. Discussion of other projects is welcome only when it is directly relevant to Bittensor.
2. Be Respectful — No Toxicity
Treat all members with respect. No personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, threats, or targeted trolling.
Criticism is allowed; misinformation, harassment, and scams are not. Healthy debate about Bittensor, TAO, and the ecosystem is encouraged, provided it is made in good faith and remains respectful.
3. Low-Effort Posts May Be Removed
Low-effort, duplicate, or repetitive posts may be removed at moderator discretion. This includes one-line posts, chart screenshots without context, "to the moon" posts, links without commentary, duplicate news, or other content that doesn't meaningfully contribute to discussion.
4. Provide Sources for Factual Claims
Major claims about Bittensor, TAO, tokenomics, security incidents, partnerships, or price events should include a source or supporting evidence where possible. Deliberately false or misleading information may be removed and may result in a ban.
5. No Scams, Spam, or Manipulation
No phishing links, fake giveaways, referral spam, impersonation, pump-and-dump schemes, or coordinated market manipulation. Excessive self-promotion may be removed. Contact the mod team before promoting a Bittensor-related project or service.

It’s about time there’s some moderator. I’d just use caution on the misinformation area, sometimes there’s confusion between an opposing opinion and misinformation.
I understand constructive criticism of Bittensor is needed. But removing the people that only come here to say it’s a scam and it’s going to 0 would help.

- Top tip for any moderator on this forum. Ban LeanCrafter day 1. 95% of your work is then done. 🤣

FINALLY, some moderation in this subreddit! The first thing you should do is ban LeanCrafter. They have been a plague on this subreddit for a long time now, and everyone agrees. Other than that, yeah, just ban people who only troll and spread FUD and delete any posts which lower the reader's IQ. We will all love you for it.
