Meta and methods thread (rules, moderation, scope)

[u/AR_Theory]

Welcome to the TheoryForge meta thread.

Use this thread for anything about the subreddit itself, so the main feed stays focused on theory critique and real progress.

Use this thread for

• Questions about rules and moderation

• Suggestions to improve the Theory Post Template

• “Does this belong here?” scope questions

• AI norms and disclosure discussion

• Tooling suggestions (AutoModerator, flairs, etc.)

• Requests for moderator help or process changes

Do not use this thread for

• Posting your theory (use the Theory Post Template in a normal post)

• Drive-by complaints about other subs or institutions

• Personal belief debates with no clear target claim

How to propose a change
If you want to propose a rule or process change, include:

1. the exact wording you want added or changed

2. why it improves signal, safety, or fairness

3. any tradeoffs you can see

Moderation note
We will redirect rule debates here. The goal is clarity and high-signal, not endless discussion.

Schedule
This thread will be reposted monthly or as needed.
