congrats on getting stabbed!

legitimate - (adjective) not spurious or unjustified; genuine: input - (noun) contribution of information, ideas, opinions, or the like:

Fundamentally, it's broken into three categories: User Safety Content Civility User safety is things like no doxing for example. Content is things like the aforementioned porn rule, content ownership, disturbing content, malicious spamming. Civility is things like bigotry, or being malicious/toxic. I haven't finished filling out bright-line things within those categories, but I also want the flexibility to not have to fight people trying to find gray area that violates the intent but not the words.

We've been working on revising/resetting the site's rules. Some of you have been asking for years, some of you may have not. The draft isn't finished (don't worry, we aren't doing anything earth-shattering and it's a lot of basic stuff, there's just not a lot of time to work on it), but you may have seen the rollout of the clarified bright-line rule on no pornography or explicit nudity. Or you may have seen originally unrelated drama that merged into uncertainty over new rules, creating a godforsaken leviathan of bullshit. Or you may have been an active participant in said bullshit. Anyways - this thread will be used to convey information on the rules, answer questions, take legitimate input, and at some point share a draft before eventually implementing it.

yeah just post something there and I'll go on and reactivate your account

might we consider doing literally anything other than poke the hornets' nest?

I figured out how to add him without giving him an actual admin rank I did not write up a short bio but we can do that too later.

I gave him a custom non-admin rank a while back for security purposes, and because the staff page is tied to the staff ranks, it booted him and I never noticed. Thanks for catching it. I can probably make his custom rank a staff rank after work, so he's still on that page in some capacity.
