[READ ME FIRST] Community Input Rules & InformationThis section has a very fragile set of rules that will allow it to work the way it is intended to. Please follow these carefully.
Be mindful of what you post
• This section is meant (very specifically) for input and discussion of matters related to the site. Posts like “F*** the new update, it sucks” are not acceptable and will be removed (along with the creator being infracted).
• Elaborate in your discussions. Treat this section like the “Something For All” section, but with subjects related to the site - short posts will not garner much attention and will typically not get a good point across.
• If a pardon or a dispute is being discussed, you cannot simply reply “Do not unban, they scammed me.”. If you have a personal stake in the subject being discussed, try to be formal and present evidence in your post instead of stating an unsupported conclusion.
Your opinion will not always be considered
• This section is to allow the community to discuss site-related topics and issues, however, there is no guarantee that these opinions will be taken to heart when a final decision is made. Ideally, the section's main intention is to give members a voice regarding site operations, so that in the case that staff do need external input, they will have it.
No flaming or exaggerated criticizing of other peoples' opinions
• If someone posts something you do not agree with, you ARE allowed to counter their point politely. Saying something like “F*** you, your opinion is the worst” is not acceptable.
Heated/unnecessary arguments will be stopped
• If an argument gets out of hand, it will be stopped and the entire thread may be locked.
Staff moderation
• Because all staff are human beings, they are expected to have SOME biases in certain situations. It is imperative that these biases do not affect the existence of a discussion thread. A staff member CANNOT lock or punish a user simply because they do not like the content of a discussion thread.
• The community input section could technically be considered a free-speech zone, as long as the threads and posts made are in accordance with these rules.
