FYI deadcat hasn’t been around in ages. You’re one of the more active posters so you might want to mod the comm.

I think ‘world news from an Australian perspective’ is a bit subjective but not objectionable. I don’t think restricting posts from ‘people who do live or have lived in Australia’ would work or is necessarily desirable.

I think having an active mod who could propose and add a couple of rules about posts and comm conduct is the first step to cultivating the kind of comm you want to see and participate in without being heavy handed.
