Community Rules Update: April 2, 2025
Revised Community Rules for r/fednews Maintain Professional Conduct & Respectful Dialogue.Description: Engage constructively and respectfully, as you would in a professional setting. Personal attacks, insults, excessive negativity, or disruptive behavior (trolling) are prohibited. Focus on the topic, not the person.Zero Tolerance for Harassment, Threats, or Incitement.Description: Any form of harassment, threats against individuals or groups, inciting violence, stalking, or impersonation is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate removal and potential ban. We are committed to a safe environment.Protect Sensitive & Personal Information (OPSEC/PII).Description: Do Not Share: Classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), internal agency deliberations not cleared for public release, or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of yourself or others. Remember your OPSEC and privacy obligations. Violations are taken seriously.Ensure Content is Relevant to the Federal Workforce.Description: Submissions and discussions must directly pertain to news, policies, working conditions, benefits, or other matters relevant to U.S. federal employees and agencies.Cite Verifiable Sources; Avoid Speculation & Rumors.Description: Base factual claims on evidence. Cite verifiable government sources (e.g., official agency websites, OPM guidance, public laws, official press releases) or reputable, established news organizations. Do not post unsubstantiated rumors, speculation, or conjecture as fact. Misinformation undermines the community. Social media is generally not a verifiable source for news.Limit Purely Partisan Political Debate.Description: While policy and politics affect federal employees, this is not the place for purely partisan campaigning or debate disconnected from specific impacts on the federal workforce. Discuss policy impacts, not just political affiliations.Use Designated Threads & Search Before Posting.Description: Utilize official megathreads or designated Q&A posts when available (check stickied posts). Before creating a new post, please search the subreddit to avoid duplicating recent topics or questions. This helps keep information organized and accessible.Key Changes for Approachability:Professional Framing: Rule 1 explicitly links behavior to professional conduct.Federal Terminology: Rule 3 uses common acronyms (OPSEC, PII, CUI) familiar to the audience.Clear Action Verbs: Rules start with clear instructions (Maintain, Protect, Ensure, Cite, Limit, Use).Rationale Included: Brief explanations are added to descriptions to clarify the why behind the rule.Source Specificity: Rule 5 gives concrete examples of acceptable verifiable government sources.Granularity: Split the original rules slightly to address distinct issues like professional conduct vs. severe harassment, relevance vs. politics, and sourcing vs. speculation more clearly. This results in 7 rules, a manageable increase from 5 but more specific than the original 11.
