Talk:Students for Democracy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This site truly is great. The average intelligence of the poster there, regardless his/her political stance seems to be higher than anyplace else I've seen. Also, the tone of discussion is a lot more polite.


Informative site. Lots of news from everywhere.

[edit] Open debate on students for democracy

The most important thing about this site is that despite vigorous debate, in the end nothing is personal.

Not to mention we are self regulated, able to keep out spammers without having to censor anybody.

What I can see is that the site is actually one of the few political websites that doesnt censor, that it allows people from the entire political spectrum to register and to post and that it doesnt have an agenda. The latter makes students for democracy a rarity amongst political websites. Mellier 01:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Forum Features

I suggest that the forum features get an own section in the article, similar to Democratic Underground Beyote

Some details where added to the feature list, someone else should expand that list. Beyote

[edit] Moderation

It looks like SFD is using a sophisticated moderation system with the members handling the site. Any more info about that?

They have not much of a moderation system, some members can moderate guest posts, but not more. And since they have a system that automatically detects trolls and spammers not much moderation is needed at all. --Twiw 13:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sfdflogo.gif

Image:Sfdflogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
