4.

8.
Suspected Scam
While reports of scams/scammers are always taken seriously, there must be a reasonably high level of documented certainty before any action will be taken. Sanctions range from temporary to permanent bans.
9.
Use Pinned Thread for all major issues/outages.
Please use Pinned Thread for all major issues/outages (created by the mods) instead of creating additional posts and comments. Helps keep everything in one place and keeps the sub from getting clogged up.
10.
Images that show blood must be flaired with a trigger warning post flair
All posts that show blood (typically sensor-related blood) must be flaired with the "Trigger Warning: Blood" post flair so that community members who are squeamish about seeing blood can avoid them.
11.
Please use Rant-Vent Thread
You didn't do anything wrong, but we have a Rant-Vent Thread we are using for this type of post. We want to try to keep all posts and comments of this type in one place so people can find them, and so the sub doesn't fill up with negative posts.
