/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Edit: updated title
I once met an old journalist who worked in a busy city newsroom in the 60s and 70s. He told me lots of old stories but one I always remember is that he said their deadlines were so bad back then because everything ran on pen, paper and typewriters - there were no computers, word processors, email or the internet, yet they were expected to pump out a 500 word story in an hour to be edited, corrected, checked and confirmed to make the printer by midnight to be printed the next morning!
They didn't even have time for breaks, especially on a busy news day. So instead of drinking coffee, he got into the habit of eating whole coffee beans instead and just munching on them as he worked. He said several of them just ate coffee beans by the handful in the office.
When I met him he was a retired old man with his wife living in the middle of nowhere running a quiet bed and breakfast. He said he had to retire after his fourth heart attack and a couple of bypass surgeries. Most of his colleagues had died early deaths from heart disease.
