Voat ate my reply!

Basic gist of it was I was going to get a basic ruleset down by Monday and I don't mind the cross posting of articles/videos etc but I would like to try to keep our discussions more original than a carbon copy of the subreddit

"I would like to try to keep our discussions more original than a carbon copy of the subreddit"

I agree, however...the issue is we simply do not have a large enough community atm to really even carry a discussion :/. The other site has 37,589 subs and BARELY has daily pics posted, discussions over there don't happen often even with 37k subs.

Look at the posts we have already and how many comment/upvoat compared to how many are subbed. I can limit my personal x-posting to just images and articles...but that will result(imo from what I have seen the last 2 weeks here) in little to no discussion.

The more content and items that interest people, the more will come and comment in exchange. The less content there is for people to comment about, the less people will come here and comment. Most people won't create or post OC. It is a small group of people that do make OC and post things(even on /r/totalwar). The silent majority is real and most people just want things to up/downvoat and to comment on(discussions).

I won't be posting discussions if people don't want them, but I worry about actually conversations happening here since majority won't OP a discussion.

EDIT: So, just to give an example of what I mean by silent majority...take the top commented post of all time over at /r/totalwar. It has 1371 comments(with an actual less amount of unique people commenting, many people commented multiple times). Even if each comment was a unique person that is only 2.2% of the 37,589 subs there. That is the TOP commented on post over there AND it was a giveaway post for free R2 copies. The silent majority will always exist but you need stuff for them to actually take part in or they will check here a couple times, see nothing really new(or click on the few new pictures) and leave. After a while of doing that and not really seeing anything here...they won't keep coming back.

I get your point. I won't be adding any limitations to cross-posting in the rules when I put them up ( Should be later today!)

Things might change in the future but our settled policy for now will be pretty hands off unless we get major objections.
