No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Five minutes ago, I didn’t care about this guy. Now I’m proud of him for taking a principled stand.
I'm having a Mandela moment, I swear this guy died years ago. You mother fuckers aren't from my time line.
Maybe you’re thinking of Mac Miller?
Macklemiller
Maybe you confuse him with Mac Miller?
Did he do the thrift shop song?
Oh naw, that was macklemore. Maybe you are in a different timeline? Lol
I swear to God it was the guy who did thrift shop. My wife and I started taking about it and she said that I'm not in the right timeline lol. I even told my fucking daughter like 4 weeks ago he was dead. She is 9 and just heard it for the first time and showed me and I was like oh yeah, that guy was great. And she was like, was?
Macklemore and Mac Miller just have very similar sounding names. That combined with Macklemore not having any super popular songs in a while so you probably haven't heard about him in a while.
