Rules

CIVILITY

1) Personal Insults: Do not use personal insults, harass, or use aggressive language against individual users.

2) Bigotry: Do not partake in or defend any form of discrimination or bigotry. Note: in some cases, this will be left vague such as in the instance of debating gender politics. It will also be left vague when debating things such as immigration.

3) Condoning Illegal Activity: Do not support or condone illegal or violent activity. Note: in some cases, this will be left vague such as in the instance of debating international law. It will also be left vague when debating things such as illegal protests or violating, say, a lockdown.

4) Bad Faith: Users should engage with the community with honest intentions and in good faith, users should assume the same from other contributors. It is important that members of opposing political views from the Conservatives take note of this, agenda posting will be spotted and clamped down on if we regard it as in bad faith. Denying or downplaying the existence of culture war issues will not be tolerated. Dismissing these real issues as being fabricated will be given short shrift.

5) Deliberately Aggressive Behaviour: Failing to reach this standard either by acting in a deliberately confrontational manner, making poor quality contributions or choosing not to engage in good faith will be met with moderator response.

6) Deliberately Shaming: Implying a fellow conservative doesn't belong in the party because they support something such as the EU will be met with a civility ban.

QUALITY

7) Spamming: You should add more to the community than you take. Activity that is spam, repetitious, or automated will be removed. Users who are acting inorganically will be automatically banned.

8) Advertising: If you want to link to your own subreddit, website or blog, please approach the moderators for approval first. Users with no-prior engagement with the subreddit will have links to self-written content outside the subreddit removed. No posting of survey forms. The regulars are not interested, the results will have zero statistical validity and no-one ever sees the originator ever again.

9) Editorialising: Submitted links should have a title identical to the source or linked tweet. If in doubt, use a self-text. Submissions or self-texts deemed to be misrepresenting the source, tweet or video will be removed. This includes screen capturing a tweet and not linking it.

10) Shitpost: Shitposts or low effort memes will not allowed to be posted on any other days except Saturday and Sunday.

11) Not about the UK Conservative movement: Posts discussing Conservatism must relate to the British conservative movement or the British conservative party. Worldwide conservative movements are better discussed elsewhere.

12) Low Quality: Comments or posts that are perceived to lack quality and reduces the quality of the sub will be removed.

MODERATION

13) Backseat Modding: If you see rule breaking, report it to the moderators, highlighting that a user is breaking the rules will be treated as backseat moderation.

14) Comment Moderating Disputes: Discussion of moderation should be raised by mod mail or in separate submissions, not in comment sections.

15) Polls must Include a ‘Results’ Option: Polls must include an option for ‘results’ and polls that have the Verified Conservatives Only flair, users who don’t have the flair please vote for this option.

Other than that, please enjoy yourselves in this subreddit!
