Section 2 needs an example. "How we share work" is abstract until I see what counts as sharing and what counts as marketing.

After six weeks of working with the moderator team, we've rewritten the community guidelines from scratch. The goal: less legalese, more clarity. We trimmed 4,300 words down to 1,100.
The new structure is three sections: how we talk to each other, how we share work, and what to do when something goes wrong. Each section is one screen on a phone. I think most of you will read it in under three minutes.
A few hard calls we made: we kept the no-self-promotion rule but loosened it on Fridays, where anything goes. We removed the prior ban on link drops as long as the link is the post — no "check this out" with no context. And we made reporting easier by adding a one-tap flag on every post and comment.
Read the draft below and drop comments where it's confusing, where you'd push back, or where you think we're missing something. If we make changes based on your note, you'll be tagged in the changelog.

Read the whole thing. The Friday rule is going to be controversial but I think it's right — it acknowledges what people already do.

Glad you think so. The original was "no promo, ever" and we got around 20 polite-but-pointed DMs about it.

Friday should be its own space honestly. Pin it, name it #showcase, let people opt in.

Suggested edit on the reporting section — make it clear that flagging is anonymous to the reporter. People won't use it if they think the reportee sees their name.

Great catch. Adding a sentence to the top of section 3.
