Re: Useful links & Forum rules
The "useful links" part of this thread has been split off here.

I have written the rules in the format of a list of 10 for greater clarity.
Forum-Wide Rules
- Use Your Filter. Please look over your post once. If something looks gratuitous, please consider deleting it. If something looks like it is just plain mean-spirited, please consider toning it down. Or, stated negatively: no direct insults, i.e., comments that are obviously hurtful and explicitly insulting to another person on the forum. Posts that don't follow this rule can be moved.
- Assume Good Faith. If someone states that they believe a proposition, always allow that they seriously do believe the proposition. Stated negatively, posts that accuse other members of not really believing what they claim, when the accusation is not supported by the other member's statements, do not follow this rule and can be moved.
- Be Moderate. What you write should be reasonable and proportionate in its rhetoric, compared to the rhetoric of that to which you reply. Be considerate. Or, stated negatively: a post thoroughly saturated with severe invective should not be written, and posts that escalate rhetoric brutally shouldn't either. Posts that do not follow this rule can be moved.
- Stay on Topic. Posts with little or no substantial content relevant to the purpose of the thread and the forum can be moved. In the historical discussion forums, this includes any posts that have any memes, videos, or non-informative images.
- Personal Matters are Off-Topic. A post containing comments on other posters in a way usually considered to be exceedingly personal such as regarding nationality, race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation can be moved.
- Forum Business is Off-Topic. A post containing any comments about the forum, about the forum rules, about the moderation of the forum, about moderation actions taken or not taken, and so on can be moved to Forum Business.
- Be an Adult. Respect the moderation team and the mess that is public discussion. People will say things that are silly and annoying. Ideas will be floated that make no sense. Egos will be bruised by criticism. Action won't always be taken.
- No Bullying. This forum is meant to facilitate the free exchange of ideas. It is not meant to be a safe haven for people to take advantage of this for any possible abuse. A pattern of harassment of any specific user can lead to a suspension or ban.
- No Doxing or Sock Puppet Allegations. Attempts to "dox" or "unmask" other users of the forum by posting personal details or speculating on their identity (including any allegations of being the same as another person on the internet, however identified) can lead to a suspension or ban. Any accusation about another user presenting a fake user profile or being a sock puppet can lead to a suspension or ban. Doxing will be deleted.
- No Spam. Spam will be deleted. Spammer accounts will be deleted.
