Recently, the mods had a discussion and realized that our definition of circlejerking desperately needs an update. Our complete guide for commenting can been found here. The new circlejerking guideline reads:
Don't circlejerk and void leading questions designed to put people on the defensive. What is circlejerking within the context of Purple Pill Debate? Any snarky comment that contains mocking terms (alfalfa, white knight) designed to insult, or otherwise perturb users. Comments should add to the conversation, not sabotage it. Circlejerking can also be interpreted as a string of comments that express a single view point repeatedly. You have your own subs for circlejerking. Conversations about anti-Red Pill concepts and between Blue Pillers should occur on /r/TheBluePill. Conversations about Red Pill concepts and between Red Pillers should occur on /r/TheRedPill or /r/AskTRP.
That last part is the critical change. There are already community subs for BPers to discuss TBP and RPers to discuss TRP. We want to avoid threads like this where a user asks a "question for Blue Pill" and all the responses are RPers making sarcastic jabs at TBP. We also want to have a policy in place to deal with any unintentional brigades from TBP or SRD. For now, this is our answer to both problems.
EDIT: To clarify, circlejerking has always been against the rules on PPD. We just added two sentences to the definition.
