Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You know that famous twitter post when someone mansplained an author her own book?

I had a heated discussion about a topic that has been my professional center of interest for two decades now and who I often hold lectures about,etc.

The guy basically claimed I was totally wrong by citing a single study - which he grosly misinterpreted and which showed that he was missing a lot of basic knowledge about the topic. (Which is okay,but then don't tell others they are wrong. I actually just jumped into the discussion to defend someone else) So...a definition of an armchair general.

Funny thing is: I was literally sitting in the lecture of the professor who is the main author of this study and who I already had an deal to publish a follow up study together with him as coauthors.

So... I literally asked him after the lecture what he would say. ..and quoted that in my post. (We get along quite well)

The response? "Sometimes a science is not about facts but is about believe and not classical knowledge. And you are definitely a fat fuck who hopefully gets chocked to death by an overweight trans prostitute!"

.... That was...Odly specific, was quite specific and well....was the strongest wrong that one can write about science.
