No "circle jerking" or inflammatory posts
No discussion of illegal content

Please report anything you believe to violate the rules and be sure to include rhetoric on why you think it should be removed.

If you would like to contest mod actions please DM me with your rational as to why you feel that the relivant mod action should be reversed. Remember to use rhetoric and to site any relevant sources. You will only get one chance to argue your point and continued harassment will result in a ban.

Overall this community is pretty laid back and none if the things list above normally are an issue.

It takes time to start from the ground up. There are a huge amount of web standards and to do it right takes time. It took a long time from Chromium to become usable.
