A. 24 or 48 hr Thread Cooldown: Impose a new rule, drama can be posted only after a wait period. Threads can still be linked directly, but other communities' thread wouldn't get nearly as shitted up, and if so, with significantly more transparency.

This is fine if you don't mind a thread full of [deleted]. I prefer non-stale popcorn. Also, this current round of bitching is about a 2-day old thread, so I don't see how this would help.

B. Mirror Bot: Set up a bot to mine html/img mirrors and link to them in threads created here. People could still find the original thread, but not as instantaneously, and an additional degree of separation would serve as a substantive gesture of goodwill towards the linked communities.

If there was a mirror bot that worked flawlessly and updated the mirror very frequently, I could probably get behind that. Who's going to create/maintain it though?

C. Community Diligence / Leadership: The SRD mods and power users could set an example, instead of circlejerking about how bad syncretic and SRDbroke are, the community could take a real interest in its integrity and call out those who would undermine it.

I've tried this a couple of times (PMings subscribers I see doing this.) Problem is the subscribers doing it usually aren't the regulars, and don't seem to particularly care. By the way, "circlejerking about syncretric and SRDBroke" is a very new development, so that clearly isn't the root of the problem. Also, you must have a very broad definition of power user.

D. Additional Community Moratoriums & Omissions: /r/suicidewatch[1] is already on this list, and more can be added. For instance, /r/ainbow[2] , 2X, men's rights, any sub with a serious community and purpose, maybe on a rotating basis.

Never going to happen.

E. Legitimate Piss-Bans: When people have pissed in the "popcorn," unequivocally, ban them. This could be tempered with an appeal process or strike policy to make the process more ecumenical. People could still post in drama but they could be identified (and downvoted) thusly via a bot or with community involvement. This does not address the problem of alts but would again serve as a substantive gesture of goodwill towards the linked communities.

This is more of a for-show idea than a serious problem solver. Not even just because of the ease of using alts, but also because again, most of the offenders aren't regular SRD posters and probably wouldn't care. Being banned from SRD doesn't stop you from viewing SRD, just posting here.

/r/ainbow[3] folks have been making these suggestions for months now, but all we have been met with is apathy, apology, and antagonism. Something needs to be done or SRD risks losing all honor is the eyes of the rest of the Reddit community.

Serious question: Why should we give a shit about what any other subreddit thinks of us? Having a good reputation is nice and all, but I certainly wouldn't recommend basing decisions on how they will look to other subs.
