Discussion rules
Argue hard about ideas, never about people. Bring a source when you can.
- Be civil. No insults, threats, slurs or hate aimed at anyone, including people in the files.
- Name your source. A link or a book and page lets everyone check it. Unsourced guesses are welcome when you say they are guesses.
- Nothing made up about real, living people. Do not accuse a real person of a crime or a lie without a public record to point to.
- No spam or selling. At most two links per post. Links from brand-new members wait for a quick check.
- No private details. No addresses, phone numbers or other people's personal information.
- 13 or older. Accounts are for readers 13 and up.
How we keep it clean
Posting needs a free account, and fast posting is slowed down. Words we do not allow are blocked. Any reader can tap Report; three reports hide a post until a moderator looks at it. Moderators can hide or remove posts and block accounts that break these rules. To ask about a removed post, use the contact page.
