We aim for a calm, tolerant board around here. That means that there aren't many rules, but these apply over all sections of the board.</p>
<p dir="auto">The short version is 'Don't Be An Ass'.<br />
Which is to say, be polite, don't call someone something nasty and don't be a jerk because you think it's funny.</p>
<p dir="auto">No Name-calling; this covers pejoratives, racist names and general bigotry. That includes referring to people as retards. Don't do it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Don't be a troll. If you're the only one laughing, the joke wasn't funny. Keep making 'jokes' like that and a moderator will hit you with the Carp of Smiting.<br />
Don't be a troll - and don't feed the trolls!</p>
<p dir="auto">.. and for fuck's sake, don't censor words. Tag appropriately for trigger warnings, and don't be an ass.</p>
<p dir="auto">Politics. If it can't be discussed calmly and rationally, don't post it. Things are shit out there, and I do grok needing to yell about that sometimes, but tag 'em appropriately (either as 'ranting', or some other variant), and remember the bit about being kind to each other.</p>
<p dir="auto">Artificial Intelligence. Generative AI, LAION, what you have. Not. Allowed. Do not feed posts into the lying machine. We will do our best to stymie the scrapers; don't help the thieves. Try not to post anything created with Gen-AI - I know it isn't easy to recognise it sometimes, but do your best.</p>
<p dir="auto">Content. I shouldn't have to tell anybody not to post CSAM here, but.. well. Don't post that stuff. Generally, tag content warnings and respect boundaries.</p>
<p dir="auto">Expect this to be a living document and refer back as needed.</p>
