Rule 1: Be respectful. Attack the argument, not the person.

⭐ Rule 1 means we can have conversations and disagreements and even suspicions without using derogatory (disrespectful) language. This also means that we can say some people in some people groups are bad but we recognize that not every one of any people group are all the same.

Rule 2: Don't abuse the report function.

⭐ Rule 2 means to use the report function for violations but not to overuse it for petty reasons.

Rule 3: No excessive, unnecessary and/or bullying "meta" posts.

⭐ Rule 3 means not to repeatedly post about other users and bully them but we might have to go total no meta posts because it is easily abused.

To prevent SPAM, posts from accounts younger than 4 days old, and/or with <50 points, wont appear in the feed until approved by a mod.

⭐ This means new accounts are unable to post until they have a comment score or a post score (from somewhere else) of 50 points. And you can use mod mail to ask the mod to look into it and approve.

Disclaimer: Submissions/comments of exceptionally low quality, trolling, stalking, spam, and those submissions/comments determined to be intentionally misleading, calls to violence and/or abuse of other users here, may all be removed at moderator's discretion.

⭐ This means constant low effort posting with no conspiracy theory or fact will be deleted.
Submission statements are making a come back. It also means we are not tolerating calls to violence (death wishing) and verbal abuse or harassment.
And a reminder that resorting to ad hominem (along with all fallacies) often makes one look emoti(o)nal, desperate and out of actual answers or rebuttals, in other words, you've lost, at least keep your dignity and integrity and try again another time having hopefully learned something.

Spam is often a generalized term and there are differences to me regarding spam from bots and spam from humans, spam bots will immediately be removed and permabanned. For human spam I would consider that being repeating/parroted speech and mass posting in a short amount of time, which will be assumed as forum sliding. Those posts will be removed and the poster will be asked to stop, if it persists there will be reasonable ban action and hopes the behaviour stops.

These have been the same rules since the community's inception and it has been over a year since they were enforced so we've all gotten a little flabby and now we are shaping back up.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if any terminology needs to be defined.
