The Rules

You know, no one ever really reads these things, but we have them anyway. Why? Because for a while, we didn't have them, and while things generally worked out okay, there were always one or two people who managed to make themselves an unabated pain in the ass. These same people would whine "well, it isn't against the ruuuules!"

So, now we have rules. Thank the idiots.

Yeah, we know. Rules are for the man. Rules keep whitey in power. Rules keep the machine running and harsh your mellow. Oh well. Tough. These are the rules we operate by. If you don't like them, don't use the forums.
