      When you go to someone’s house, do you shit on their floor if there isn’t a cross stitch hanging by the door that says “Please don’t shit on our floor.”

      We shouldn’t need rules, because everyone here is an adult and the expectation is they will conduct themselves as such.

      Beyond that it says right on the tin, “Star Trek memes and shitposts,” so if it’s not Star Trek related (and the bar for that is incredibly low) or it’s not a meme or shitpost, then there’s no reason for it to be here.

      • It also says

        There are no real rules

        And when this community first started getting traction, people asked for clarification and got told the same thing; there are no rules and that it didn’t even need to be a meme or shitpost.

        The removals for bad behavior are one thing; but most of the removals in the modlog aren’t for that.

        Oh yes, fully kidding. On reddit that (shortened) quote was frequently employed by bigots complaining about mod “censorship” of their “opinions”.

        I’ll leave it to your imagination what exactly those opinions were.

        I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, “What could run off Stamets,” and that’s exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

        Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I’m not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

        Check his posting behavior. Dude actively insults people he’s talking to at every chance he gets, acts like he’s in total control of what Risa should be, and generally doesn’t seem like a nice person to be around.

        Oh, Pumpkin, I’m a fuckin’ delight.

        Combine that with the private messages I’ve gotten from him

        You mean when you provoke someone into an argument in the comments, and then report them because they don’t immediately acquiesce, so I sent you a message to knock it off? If it had been anyone else other than the most prolific poster, I would have happily given you a time out.

        Now you know why I sprinted from this instance and this community.

        And yet here you are, stirring the pot on a post more than a week old. Did you run out of other people’s memes to post?
