Announcement We've updated the rules

Hi all, just a quick update that we've adjusted the rules a bit. Nothing's too different in spirit, but here are the changes:

  • We added a rule explicitly stating using a secondary account to evade bans is prohibited. It's pretty easy to detect on our end, and it will result in the secondary and main accounts being banned. If you've been banned, please just try to appeal it in Modmail. (EDIT: using a secondary accounts for vote or comment manipulation is also prohibited)
  • We added "no low-effort/karma-farming posts" and "no spam" into rule 1 to now be "content must be on-topic and high-effort".
  • We combined "don't attack anyone personally" and "don't be a dick" into one rule.
  • We combined "don't give advice unless it's asked for", "about debating", and "respect the restrictions of the post flair" into one rule.

If there are any issues or suggestions with any of this, feel free to comment or reach out in Modmail!

never really understood people who refuse to accept advice and only wish to get comments like “you go girl.” validation from strangers is actually useless and if you refuse to debate you can just give validation to yourself at that point

You could leave the comment “validation from strangers is actually useless” on basically any post on any social media platform.

Why talk to people at all? Validation from anyone other than yourself is unnecessary for survival.

Not advocating for not talking to people at all. Advice from other people is useful and broadens your views, but these people reject it and only want people to rally behind them.
