There have been a few comments so far on issues which sit in a fairly blurry area. These certainly represent a minority, however I think if we come up with some values to guide mod decisions and perhaps discourage certain types of comments and posts.

This is inspired somewhat by the great work in the Melbourne community.

I’m also interested in whether we want to have daily threads here as well or any other ways you would like to engage with the community.

Also: For major discussion topics which may attract a range of opinions and discussion should we create a dedicated thread to contain it?

    Maybe try a weekly thread until there is enough volume to need daily?

    Specific topic threads are great for things that have slower ongoing discussions, otherwise they get lost in new content and people keep re-starting the same thing over and over.

    In regards to what content is ok, I think anything that relates to Australia but does not fit in another community should be allowed, with allowance for world events where the discussion puts into an Australian context or is about the impact on Australia. But at least while the other groups are still new, maybe instead of just removing posts that belong in other groups a policy of leaving the post here with a link to another group and lock it to comments might help move the content without blocking much needed discussions?
