General Rules
* We encourage debate and lively discussion. However, we will not tolerate hate speech, personal attacks, racism, insulting posts, purposeless inflammatory posts, or other actions that degrade the site experience for other users.

* Please refrain from posting meaningless one-line posts, such as "IB4L," "wat," or "fail." If you want to post, please contribute to the conversation.
---No one line meaningless posts...The one line 'Discuss' is not meaningless as it is trying to incite activity in the forums.
* Please avoid "hook threads." This means threads that have titles such as "How do I..." or "What do you think of..." that are intended to bait other users into clicking on the thread.
---No hook threads...well, OK, maybe here...but barely at best...and this is mainly intended for the suggestions and bugs forum...

---Apparently it falls into the terms of service and thus will not be needing this.
* Please note that just because something goes by unmoderated does not mean it is within the rules. We try our best, but we cannot be everywhere at once, and some posts may slip by unnoticed.
---Apparently it falls into the terms of service and thus will not be needing this.
Any threads or posts that violate the above rules will be deleted or locked, and the offending posters will receive warnings and/or suspensions/bans depending on past history and severity of the infraction.
