I agree that OP could make more structured and elaborate threads, but I wouldn’t call him a clown or spammer for that much.
Might I remind you that you can just ignore him if you don’t want to see his threads? Like that those who wish to engage on those threads still can and you won’t be bothered anymore.
If OP break a community rule or a site wide rule, we will ban him, after warning him, but not otherwise.
But perhaps a good community rule would be to make threads that are conducive to discussion rather than single answers that can be found with a quick web search.
I don’t know how to properly word this, and I hope you don’t take it in a negative way. Is this not something you would want the entire communities opinion on? Just you and the mods going to decide what we want?
I think this would be a first. So there is no real methodology in place right now.
But I’d really like to get the community involved for the decision making, that’s something we’ll discuss internally, but in my opinion I’d like for it to work as following :
The community, LW admin, or the mods express the need for new rules <- We are here
Internal discussion between mods, and, if needed, LW admins, to make sure the new or updated rule is conform to LW rules and what we wish to do with the community.
Once the draft of the new rule is done, we’d publish it as draft to get feedback.
Once most people agree on the new or updated rule, we will start enforce it, first with a bit of leniency, then more strictly.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I do agree. I’ll raise the question with the others mods and we’ll decide on a new rule if necessary.

What do you think about that ?
That works for me. I really appreciate the transparency
Anything “easily googleable” should be removed on site.
