I have had some ideas on ways to give SNN A good review. The way I'm seeing it is to keep it a safe environment. I noticed around and some new users don't like how we are. We are a great community but not to everyone. So here are some ways to give SNN A good positive review. To note these rules don't apply to trolls. These are for using on people who aren't trolls or doing it on accident etc.

1. Getting rid of Unnecessary Criticisms.

This one has gotten a little bit off. Some people Criticise over some opinions or give offensive comments. I think we should only criticise if the user is comfortable or when action is needed. Constructive Criticism is allowed though. This rule may seem unfair but it makes people comfortable.

2. Being Reasonable

This one is not much of a problem but it could still help. Reasonable punishments is an example. I think that you should first calm talk with a user in PM to get more information. Also the PM Part is to keep others from making a user feel sad or guilty If it's a mistake. Take action when things go out of hand. That doesn't stop you though. If you feel like taking action because it's the right thing to do you can. Just be reasonable.

3. Respect users

Again not much of a problem but this is also to make people feel comfortable here. Respect other users opinions or ideas that are harmless. Some people have good ideas some have bad but don't tell it directly to them. You don't have to like a user just respect them. This is to also make sure people don't feel ignored or hated.

To end this I will just say these rules should only be used if necessary. I am only trying to help give SNN a safe environment on the chat for everyone to feel comfortable. These rules also aren't replacing anything it's just a way to give not just new but any user feeling comfortable. Not everyone will agree but everyone is different.
