Non-regulatory changes and comments

1. We have reduced the length of all standard bans by three times. Users should not get a ban longer than 10 days, apart from a permanent ban, of course. It’s a gift without any occasion.

2. We have created a new political filter that is always active based on the referendum result.

3. Filter thresholds for threads, political continuous and political pre-election are automatically provided for removal messages based on the referendum result.

4. We have removed the filter that automatically deletes content from users with the maximum negative karma based on the referendum result.

5. We have relaxed our policy on sharing personal information. From now on, it is possible to publish screenshots from e.g. Facebook containing the names and surnames of non-public people, if they have published their content publicly. This change is there "for a test". We’ll see how the administration reacts to this.

6. From now on, the sum of upvote and downvote is always visible based on the referendum result.

7. X/Twitter viewing sites are allowed based on the referendum result.
