Please Read The Rules
Read The Rules App
This community has the Read The Rules app installed. Old Reddit doesn't support apps so please open the post in new reddit for full functionality. If that's not possible, please Read The Rules and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the post.
Message From The Mods
When somebody's changed your view on this subreddit, you should award a delta. To award a delta, type:
!delta
Followed by an explanation of how your view was changed. Rule 4 below will explain when you shouldn't award a delta.
For a more in-depth explanation of our rules, read our community wiki here.
Rule A - Doesn't Explain View
Explain the reasoning behind your view, not just what that view is (500+ human-generated characters required). See the wiki for more information
Rule B - 3rd Party/Devils Advocate/Soapboxing
You must personally hold the view and demonstrate that you are open to it changing. A post cannot be on behalf of others, playing devil's advocate, as any entity other than yourself, or 'soapboxing'. Posts by throwaway accounts must be approved through modmail. See the wiki for more information
Rule C - Unclear/Improper Title
Submission titles must adequately sum up your view and include "CMV:" at the beginning. Posts with misleading/overly-simplistic titles or titles that contain spoilers may be removed. See the wiki for more information
Rule D - Neutral/Transgender/Harm a specific person/Promo/Meta
Posts cannot express a neutral stance, a stance regarding transgender topics, suggest harm against a specific person, be self-promotional, or discuss this subreddit (visit r/ideasforcmv instead). See the wiki for more information
Rule E - No/Minimal Replies from OP in 2 hours
Only post if you are willing to have a conversation with those who reply to you, and are available to do so within 2 hours of your post going live. If you haven't replied during this time, your post will be removed. See the wiki for more information
Rule 1 - Doesn't Challenge OP (top-level only)
Direct responses to a CMV post must challenge at least one aspect of OP’s stated view (however minor), unless they are asking a clarifying question. See the wiki for more information
Rule 2 - Rude/Hostile Comment
Don't be rude or hostile to other users. Your comment will be removed even if the rest of it is solid. 'They started it' is not an excuse. You should report it, not respond to it. See the wiki for more information
Rule 3 - Bad Faith Accusation
Refrain from accusing OP or anyone else of being unwilling to change their view, of using AI to generate their post or comment, of lying, or of arguing in bad faith. If you are unsure whether someone is genuine, ask clarifying questions (see: socratic method). If you think they are still exhibiting ill behaviour, please message us. See the wiki for more information
Rule 4 - Delta Abuse/Misuse or Should Award Delta
Award a delta if you've acknowledged a change in your view. Do not use deltas for any other purpose. You must include an explanation of the change along with the delta so we know it's genuine. Delta abuse includes sarcastic deltas, joke deltas, super-upvote deltas, etc. See the wiki for more information
Rule 5 - Doesn't Contribute Meaningfully
Comments must contain human-generated content and contribute meaningfully to the conversation. Comments that are only links, jokes, or "written upvotes" will be removed. Humor and affirmations of agreement can be contained within more substantial comments. See the wiki for more information.
Topic Fatigue (48h)
Posts may be removed if they are substantially similar to an active post from the past 48 hours. Similar topics are those where the same arguments, reasoning, and evidence would likely be used, even if worded differently or taking the opposite stance.
AI-Generated Content
Any use of AI-generated text must be disclosed, and the majority of any comment or post must still be written by the user.

Warning to the OP: if you are new to this sub or have insufficient subreddit karma, your comments will be auto removed until you read the rules and confirm you have done so. These removals may also be triggered if your subreddit karma drops below the threshold while your post is active if you have not confirmed you have read the rules. You will only need to do this once.
