Polkadot Forum PSA - New Quality Enforcement Rules

Dear all,

In recent weeks we have seen many posts gain traction which are not aligned with the sense of community this forum is trying to foster.

In such we will be locking threads and removing posts which are not furthering such sense of community and productive ecosystem development, alongside those posts which are clearly AI Generated without given reason or disclaimer.

As many of you are aware, we are at a critical point in Polkadot, the beginning of the second age, and we should all collectively strive to work for the betterment of the platform and each other without resorting to arguments and endless accusations.

We as moderators do not have the bandwidth to verify veracity of posts nor do we have any sort of robust “community note” mechanism implement yet and therefore will be removing all posts which fall into this category wholesale.

The threads are still available to view, however replying to these have been restricted. We encourage the community to continue on their discussions in new threads, keeping the discussions civil.

We hope going forward, the forums can remain a constructive community space, The forum mod team wishes everyone a nice weekend and for some, a great start to the holiday season!

why these two are locked? so going forward community cannot raise concerns or engage in such discussions?

there’s still no clear explanation for locking threads that have ongoing discussions and open questions. forcing new threads to be started while burying the existing context feels like censorship by obscurity.

ps: they locked these threads as well:

Happy to settle any concerns around this discussion off the forum in a productive way. My DMs are open.
