The following actions are strictly prohibited:
* Calling out other users.
* Personal attacks and flaming. Attacking an idea is acceptable, attacking a user is not.
* Trolling and posting with intent to provoke other posters
* Retaliating to personal attacks(contact a moderator instead)
* Harrassment, stalking, and shadowing other users with intent to provoke
* Using abbreviations such as 'STFU' and 'GTFO'
* Do not edit the quotes of other users
If you find you can't get along with another user, feel free to use the ignore feature.
2. You will not spam. Your message should be well thought out, and must add something of substance to the discussion, so please think before posting or creating a new thread. One-liners, list topics, quote pyramids, 'chat threads', and other "spammy" messages are not welcome. Do not post messages 'IBTL' or 'LOCK AND BAN' in threads, contact the moderators instead.
