Okay, thanks. Sorry for the paranoia. I just haven’t commented on any LW posts with the ‘reign of terror’ commenting guidelines before, so I didn’t know what to expect. That gives me enough context to feel confident my comment won’t be like that one you deleted.
I picked Reign of Terror because I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to the higher deletion thresholds (I think the comment I deleted technically doesn’t meet them), so I wanted to avoid making a false promise.
I do want to hold myself to the standard of welcoming criticism & only deleting stuff that seems like it’s destroying importance-weighted information on net. I don’t want to be held to the standard of having to pretend that everyone being conventionally polite and superficially relevant is really trying.
I have updated (partly in this thread, although it retroactively fits into past observations that were model-less at the time), that’s it’s probably best to have a moderation setting that clearly communicates what you’ve described here.

Can’t individuals just list ‘Reign of Terror’ and then specify in their personalized description that they have a high bar for terror?
As an aside, ‘high bar for terror’ is the best new phrase I’ve come across in a long while.
Yes, but the short-handle given to the description might radically change how people conceive of it.
