Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 7- You can’t intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

:::

:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren’t allowed to participate here.
