I'm making a list of subs that should be essentially system owned

Foxes... nice.

I know I copied it into my list and I'm not sure I want to make all of those system subs but for sure quite a few of them. Announcements for sure, ask, and so on. I'll probably not take foxes as that won't be my sites animal.

Edited

politics, news, announcements, ideasfor, ask, anon subs, whatever, all, protect_ (if only to prevent a PV-like entity from cropping up)

good suggestions. Especially the pv idea.

[–] InnocentBystander 1 points (+1|-0)

The intent might be a good idea, but I don't think it will work.
A slight change to spelling or name bypasses it, and the fact that it's banned will be seen as provocative.

Those clowns are bored and always looking for an excuse to cause drama or troll.
You can't entirely avoid giving them reasons, because they will just make shit up, but no need to make it easy.

Honestly I don't see it being a big issue as I will be an active admin and it seems to me that their bullshit requires that people not be paying attention.

I would suggest using the Phuks list as a template.
But prune it down at the start. Until you've built up some steady users, I think it might be better to keep that list smaller.
I think it looks better if there are only a few defaults with 'some' content, rather than a bunch of defaults, and most empty.

Then you can add more as the site grows.

Not a bad idea.

Add Technology to the list, I've created the sub, but feel free to take over though.

Also worth considering: default does not need to mean system-owned and vice-versa. Is it necessary to have any "defaults"?

[–] pmyb2 [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

perhaps not.

Conspiracy? Maybe guns? Seems like early on you could potentially somewhat steer the kind of users you wanted (if you were inclined to) based on maybe a few non typical default subs, but i’m guessing.

[–] pmyb2 [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

Honestly I want all users, even the shills. Let the free market of ideas rule if I have my way. Conspiracy might be a good idea, but I don't know if I'm qualified to mod guns.

Nice, hopefully fuckers don’t try to derail that. Looking forward to see it come together dude.

[–] pmyb2 [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

like I've said before giving it my best shot.

[–] COFfeebreak 0 points (+0|-0)

Why anything anon? Already anonymous users shouldn't be able to hide behind another layer. Own your words and risk those precious internet points needed for ego inflation.

[–] pmyb2 [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

Well I disagree with your idea here, I think users should be able to ask questions or make statements without outting themselves, it encourages speech rather than deters it.

[–] COFfeebreak 0 points (+0|-0)

But why should that require an extra "protection" layer? They already are anon on the internet. If you anticipate controversy with your statement, don't make it unless you're prepared to defend it. It just seems extra cowardly.

[–] pmyb2 [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

Extra cowardly or not it’s still speech and should be encouraged if it’s a bad idea it will be shown to be such.
