I think it makes the most sense that the community decides on the rules.
Should we enforce a title formatting? Should we limit posts per day? Should there be an age limit for SFW posts?
Probably way more stuff I can’t think about. But I wish to keep the rules as short as possible.
Is there an ex reddit moderator that would like to help me out?
Thank you. I’m actually on it right now.
My current approach is:
How to form a title
Your title should contain, who is searching who and for what activity.
[<you>4<who>] <activity> - Your title
<you>: Abbreviation of your gender identity in capital letter.
<who>: Abbreviation of gender identity of the person you are searching for in capital letter.
<activity>: Full text title of activity you want to do.
Use “G” if you are searching for groups.
You can prefix <you> and/or <who> with “p” for “playing as” and “f” for “favoring”.
Examples:
[M4A] Adult chat - I’m collecting yiff of all Pokémon, can you help me out?
This means: “Male searching for any person for an adult chat.”
[pF4fM] Erotic roleplay - Vixen meets wolfpack
This means: “A person playing female is searching for any person (favoring males) for an erotic roleplay.”
[G4A] Meet in Zurich CH - Bröötle am Zürisee
This means: “A group of people is searching for any person to meet in Zürich Switzerland.”
[TF4G] Meet around Munich DE - Is there a fursuit building group open for a new member?
This means: “A trans female is searching for a group in the area of Munich Germany.”
What do you think about that?
I think I let people choose their gender abbreviation themself. That’s why I decided against a gender glossary (also it feels wrong to do so). As for activities I think it is better when no abbreviations are used, it is easier to comprehend in my opinion.
I love your idea with the introduction posts. So you don’t have to put every detail over and over again into your new posts. I think I even make that as an requirement. Edit: Changed my mind, it is optional.
I’ll add an encouragement for “DM for username” in the sidebar. But I cannot require that because some federated instances are not able to DM to others. For example I was not able to DM to this instance from Kbin.
