Forum Rules
- Be kind. Don’t be a jerk. Learn to disagree with others’ ideas while still caring for them as people. Speak and act in good faith.
- Help the newbies. Discussion can get pretty in the weeds, especially without past context, so take a second to help show more recent members the ropes. Link the old blogposts, readings, and episodes.
- No bigotry. No AI. No spam. Don’t platform or support bigots, fascists, or creeps.
- Employ content warnings around heavier or less-comfortable topics. They’re fine to talk about, but discussions need to be opt-in. Tag your NSFW stuff accordingly.
- If you want to promote your projects for money or clicks, put it in self-promo thread. If you want to chat about a project you’re working on or a game you ran or something else actively in-progress, go ahead.
In general, we as moderators try to assume ignorance before malice, but have patience for neither malice nor deliberate ignorance. Follow the rules and learn from your mistakes or catch a ban.
At some point in the future, we might update these rules.
