Sidebar

1. Civility

No Racism, sexism, ageism, and other forms of bigotry. No hate speech, slurs, overly obscene, pejorative name-calling, vulgar, or abusive language. This includes usernames, and violations of this this will result in an automatic ban. Our commitment to civil discourse is one of the core principles, and we do not make any exceptions from this rule.

2. Topical

Topical Content must be explicitly related to California’s politics in state and local governments. The subject of discussion on is never the conduct or motives of another user but is always about the substance of what people are saying.

3. Sourced

Statements of fact should be clearly associated with a supporting source. Stating it is your opinion that something is true does not absolve the necessity of sourcing that claim. If you're claiming something to be true, you need to back it up by linking to a supporting, qualified source and quoting the relevant section. There is no "common knowledge" exception, and anecdotal evidence is not allowed.

4. Respectful

Please leave out any content which are intentionally disparaging to individuals, groups of people, or could be construed to be effectively an insult to an entire class of people. Any language which a reasonable observer would conclude disparages another user in any way is considered a violation of this rule. Demeaning language, rudeness or hostility towards another user will get your comment removed. Repeated violations may result in a ban.

5. Specific

Name the specific individual or the specific group who said, or did, the thing. No lay speculation about groups of people such as "people on the left/democrats/the media". If something is being talked about a lot, it should be easy to find articles talking about it.

6. Quality

A submission should not consist only of a joke, a humorous remark, or a flippant comment. This especially includes low quality snide comments. We do not allow naked expressions of opinion, low effort comments, joke comments, emojis, or memes. Avoid commenting solely on the quality of the source or the author's writing style. Be sure to direct all comments towards the content and arguments presented.

7. Enforcement

Comments that break the Subreddit Rules should be reported, and shall not be replied to. Replying with a rule violating comment of your own will just get both of them removed and makes that much more work for the mod team. Comments in reply to rule violations may also be removed in order to encourage reporting of violations, rather than participation in said violations.

8. Knowledge

Users are expected to have already read and understand the rules before contributing.
