So I don't use the new format and I only see 12 bullet points. Does that mean I get a free pass since the rules aren't obvious?

Hey, really like the changes you made. Especially 13, I've been calling out "what about if it were a man" posts on this sub for a while now. I'm not sure if this is considered set-in-stone yet but I'd like to offer a way to improve rule 1.

You list 3 specific categories that posts should fall under and they are all negative.

Discrimination against men
Issues that disproportionately affect men
Problems that prevent men's issue being addressed

Less from a rule-y angle and more from a tone-y angle, I think the first rule is pretty important. It sets the mood of the subreddit. I think you should include something positive in that list such as: progress related to men's rights. For example there is soon to be a vote in the legislature of my state that is likely to improve fathers' rights. If that happens I'll probably make a celebratory post about it here.

It's not that I think you will not allow my hypothetical post based on this new rule. I don't. It's more that I think that sort of post should be encouraged. I think if you create that category of "positive MR thing" by listing it in the rules, it will encourage that kind of post.

edit: also side note, the new rules aren't visible on mobile with the app I use. Given Reddit was super late the app game, a lot of people are likely using 3rd party apps that won't display the new version.

I like no. 13. I really hate "what about..." posts. There's no way to really know and it's too speculative. Just give me some facts that I can interpret for myself.

Please update the rules on old reddit to match since new reddit is cancer.

The old rule:

No posts about bannings by other moderators (too common, not relevant to topic of 'rights')

That does not seem to me to have a clear counterpart in the new rules (it is not mentioned in rule 1 or 2). Is this an intentional loosening of the rules regarding ban posts or does this fall under one of the new rules? (presumably the latter, but worth checking)

4 Cross linking has restrictions

Would like to see details on this. Because many posts in sub unpopularopinion, etc. have huge MRA interest and get widely discussed with lot of interesting information.

"women can't be trusted" is considered extreme misogyny? lol....

No. 11. What exactly counts as hate speech? Of course I understand racism should be banned, but "hate speech" can be as wide a net as you want it. Many people consider this entire sub a hot bed of hate speech...

Edit: okay, I've just noticed the drop-down on mobile.
