These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on easymode. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

1. 
   These are the basic rules. Just be decent.
   • No racism, sexism, transphobia, bigotry, homophobia, etc.
   • No doxing (doxing billionaires is OK)
   • No sharing of misinformation that could lead to harm (medical misinformation, for instance)
   • No spam (you are free to share your own work)
   • Corporate/brand accounts prohibited
   • Indie devs, small art teams/companies, etc. are allowed
   • Bots must be marked as such in their accounts
   • No sharing/posting illegal content (USA)
   • Explicit content (real violence or nudity) must be marked as sensitive/NSFW
   • No harassment of other users
   • No proselytizing
   • BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER!
   Some words that aren't rules... Negative feedback is always welcome, but be sure it is just that. Don't attack others, ridicule others, or post with in a condescending tone. We are all on different levels. Keep it civil.
   
   Also, sometimes I know we are just having a bad day/week. If you have the urge to hate on others or post negative/disruptive comments, consider talking to us in general discussion. I find that many negative situations (that lead to toxic posting) are because we have nobody to talk to. The world is hateful, but we don't have to be. #
2. No slop. Seriously.
   • No ai slop images (not even jokes)
   • No ai slop videos (not even jokes)
   • No promotion/advocacy for ai platforms
   • No ai avatars (I'll make you an avatar if you need one...)
   Reject ai slop. Demand REAL slop.
   
   If you disagree to these terms, do not join.
   
   Note, it is OK to post news and information regarding ai.
   
   First offense: warning
   Second: 1 week ban
   Third: banhammer forever. #
3. Posting Guidelines
   This is a forum, so it's a bit different than a chatroom (we have chat as well). These guidelines will help you help us keep things awesome around here.
   
   • Stay on Topic - If you have a tangent or a rant, a new thread is best. If you don't know where to post something, this might not be the right place. There's also The Campfire category for general discussion.
   • Search before asking a question. There may already be an answer waiting for you.
   • Debates are fine, disagreements are cool, arguments are how we learn... however, personal attacks, insults, baiting, harassment, etc. will result in a warning or ban.
   • Give your topics clear titles. No, "AH! HELP!" or vague nonsense.
   • No all caps posts (caps are fine for goofy stuff... just don't give us a wall of caps).
   • No flaming/flamebaiting, griefing, etc. Goofing around is fine, but there's a line when it becomes nasty.
   Moderator decisions are final #
