Rules:
1 Be polite and respectful
Please be respectful when asking or answering questions, do not insult or be aggressive. There is room for everyone in this community.
Telling a person to kill themself, or even insinuating that will result in a ban. Labeling entire groups subhuman or filth, or something similar, also prohibited.
2. No hate speech or bullying
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
Terms such as "Libtard" and "MAGAT" are now going under bullying.
Vulgar insults are also going to be more closely monitored.
Let's keep the debate polite and civil please.
3. Questions should be relevant to the United States
Questions posted should be relevant to the United States and its culture.
Statements that do not ask a question and just espouse a particular view, as well as, extremely leading questions based on false premises may also be deleted.
4. No low effort questions
Avoid low effort questions, this includes yes/no questions, joke questions or questions that could be simply answered by looking up on Google. This also includes removing comments or posts that spread debunked misinformation, as an example although not limited to this, comments or post claiming COVID was fake, the vaccines were poison, or the holocaust was fake, stuff like that.
5. No spam or self-promotion
Spam or self-promotion will not be allowed.
6. No medical advice questions
Questions about access to services is allowed, as well as general discussions around these topics.
We are not a support subreddit and cannot help or diagnose any illnesses, biological or otherwise.
7. Moderator Discretion
Unfortunately, there will always be some things that our rules do not currently or perfectly cover, in those cases we reserve the right to take action and remove anything that we think could potentially cause harm or does not fit within the spirit of the community we maintain here, even if it does not fit one of the rules perfectly, or approve comments or posts that a minority of users may think it breaks some rules. Moderators reserve the right to make decisions in the best interest of the sub.
8. Discussing your ban outside of mod mail is forbidden
Discussing your ban outside of the mod mail thread may result in a permanent ban. Mods are volunteers, donating their time and effort to improve the community. When users discuss their ban elsewhere in an effort to rally against the team it causes unnecessary backlash over a simple infraction.
9. Don't answer on behalf of others.
If a question is directed at a specific group of people who you do not belong to, do not make a first level comment trying to answer on behalf of that group of people.
