Share your Custom CSS!

Top level posts should include:

  • a short description of what you're going for

  • a link to the CSS (on gist.github.com or another pastebin that doesn't randomly delete old pastes)

  • and an image link to a screenshot.

Like this:

I'm trying to sort of imitate the visual style of old Reddit: no icons, limited width, not much margin space.

Noice. I took your stuff and added some extra rules to squeeze things vertically (maybe I went too far... eh), debiggen the voting arrows, and make the bar of buttons under a post flush with the left margin of the comment.

Edit: it looks kind of crap when there are multiple collapsed comments with non-default profile pics as those slightly overlap. You can remove them by adding:


.profile-pic-25 {

    display: none;

}

Looks better in the 4chan theme which doesn't have those bars on the left:

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
