We mainly only got one rule: Don’t be a dick. But if we had to detail it out, then we got three rules. They’re all pretty simple:
1. Don’t be a dick. Be mature. Seriously, this should go without saying. But hey, I know… It’s the internet. Regardless, just be polite to each other.
2. Keep the content to a "safe for work" level here. We do have some underage readers and people looking at this at their jobs. (When it’s not being blocked that is.) We know that there are things that are totally acceptable in other countries that aren’t so acceptable elsewhere. We understand this. We don’t care. We don’t want to get anyone in trouble for looking at our forum. The economy is hard enough without the risk of being fired because someone decided to post Japanese tentacle porn in the midst of the "ask a question" topic. In short… "Don’t be a dick."
3. Handle religious discussions with care. We’re aware that when it comes to issues of the Lovecraft mythos, topics of legends, mythology and religion is bound to come up. Please bear in mind that some people do believe in these religions and some people do not. We’ve seen too many forums become uncomfortable to be around because someone uses it as a soapbox to express their socio-political and religious stances that no one asked about. And this leads back to #1. "Don’t be a dick."
Above all else, were not a democracy. We’re a Siamese Autocracy. We’re despots, but we’re laid back despots. Basically…
Just be cool. Don't be a dick.
