Gwenno:
The forum rules have been updated to account for some recent happenings

Due to recent events we are specifically targeting hate speech as a subset of bullying and insulting behaviour. We had never thought this rule would be needed due to the kind and thoughtful nature of our community, and we hope to never have to moderate comments of that nature again. Nonetheless it became obvious that a specific rule was needed.

* We do not tolerate hate speech of any kind (i.e. comments that attack or insult people or groups based on race, religion, culture, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation and others). Any posts thought to contain hate speech will be deleted and the poster issued a warning

Both the following rules have also been modified to account for changes since they were formed. Changes are marked in bold.

* Don't solicit or advertise.  That means don't post links to a site you, or anyone affiliated with you through work, makes money off of, or your company's site, without sufficient cause, and don't advertise for your faith or try to convert anyone.  I'll allow links to crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter, as well as any smaller, donation-based sites or pages. Art commissions may also be advertised on the relevant thread.

* Do not post pictures of, or links to, any pornographic material of any kind on the main board.  This will result in an immediate ban, no questions asked. Some NSFW artwork and fan fiction are allowed on the mature board, and rules regarding it may be found on the board itself. For information on joining please see below.

If you have any concerns or questions about these changes please let us know.
Happy forum-ing y'all!

(I don't know whether anyone but me has the same problem, but in my (Linux) Firefox, bold-in-quotes is indistinguishable from regular quote text. Yes, the <strong> is present in the HTML.)

(Edit: Browser specific problem, perfectly visible on my smartphone.)

viola:
The forum rules have been updated, please review them. No new rules were added, but I changed some of the phrasing and organization to make them more clear. Some of the significant updates have been clarifying that thread necromancy is fine and adding the definition of hate speech as defined by the UN. I also added some information about how the political board will function.

Feel free to ask any questions here!
