RULES (updated 1/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide that can be used for that, it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity.

MODERATORS
And I'm not trolling either, which I also said. I was agreeing you.
Trolling is doing something to purposely annoy. It's intent. Just because someone calls one a troll, doesn't mean they are a troll.
I post a lot. And it's one of the factors that people use when calling me a troll. But I'm not a troll, nor do I have any intention of being one. That was my point.
And just because I agree with you doesn't mean you re suddenly "associated" with me. I promise your reputation won't be tarnished just because you and I agreed on something.
Thanks!
When you post that much on a small, not-very-popular-yet site, people are going to get tired of seeing you. I'm pretty sure I've blocked you at least once just because you were the ONLY content I was seeing on my front page. Why would I or anyone else come to a place like this and be ok with only seeing content from one user, or the same meme over and over with slightly varying formats?
Well like you said, I'm easy to block.
But I've never sent memes.
If I was the only content you were seeing, it's because no one is posting. I'm doing my part by posting content to the site. Feel free to post yours as well.
Thank you!
