A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    /r/askhistorians had very strict mods and was better for it.

      They needed some form of notice to users in the form of a tag at post title level when all the comments had been deleted.

        Why? It was always the same answer. People posting personal takes without any credentials or cited sources.

          Because of this. You would see an interesting question, and enter the thread to read the responses and comments, only to find the the whole thread had been nuked. You would only find that out once you’d clicked into the thread, so I’m saying what was needed were tags stating something to the effect of “no comments here, don’t bother”

      Agreed but I do think that’s because the nature of the sub was more academic though, so having some kind of rigor makes sense. Not sure that’s the model to follow for every community
