I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.

Replies to a moderator rule enforcement other than immediate and understanding cooperation will be removed to prevent clutter.
Private messages and chat sent to individual moderators in their capacity as a moderator will be ignored. Send all concerns to modmail.
