Don’t take the short title too seriously; I could have said ‘encouraged’ instead of ‘enforced’, ‘rules’ instead of ‘habits’, whatever.

The point being, this is still a relatively small and young site where cultural change is possible. This opportunity doesn’t often come back. So, what culture do we want to have here?

Opening example: some sites require as a rule that a posted image must have a source or actor name given if it’s not OC. Myself, I sometimes intentionally avoid any compilation videos which don’t give sources, because I know it will take me down a hours-long rabbithole of discovery. Sourcing is already a global Community Guideline here, which is good to see.

    Hah, there’s always a time and place for chaos, but there’s also power and convenience in having a useful consistent format and metadata.

    And that’s not censorship - the only suggestion so far which actually would restrict expression is the “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say it” one. The rest are just saying “please add this extra information ([M/F] tags, sources)” which is almost the opposite of censorship, or removing obsolete dead links.
