Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

um, "free rein".
No, no, he had it right the first time: the sorts of people who want to look in your windows really do want to reign, like an autocrat.
.
(I'm just riffing off your comment to make a point. I don't actually think the person was that clever and agree it was a typo.)I thought it was "free reign" but reign as in the way you reign a horse -- you give your horse "free reign" to do as it wishes.
EDIT : huh. Turns out I am right, but you "rein" a horse not "reign". Derp!
That's still rein.
(grin) Yeah -- I realised that after I wrote it.
As unbelievable as it sounds I had only ever heard it said -- I'd never seen it written down. (Or if I have I don't remember seeing it written down -- must have been twenty, thirty years ago.) I am not a horse person, so I don't deal with vocab relating to horses all that often.
Just one of those things I guess.
Don't be too hard on yourself. English spelling is not exactly cooperative.
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think.
I thought it was free rain, like the water falling from the sky.
Nah, you gotta pay for that.
If nestle ruled the world they'd make it so
Already illegal in certain jurisdictions to collect rainwater on your own property (with a goal of protecting aquifers IIRC)!
Looking into it, perhaps 15 states regulate it but I’m not sure any have outright bans anymore - plenty of states encourage it.
