      Warnings

      • Be civil. Remember the person on the other side of the screen.
      • Use correct grammar. Being anonymous on the internet doesn't mean that you should slack off on grammar. Posts or comments with incorrect grammar or spelling may get downvoted and may come off as low-effort.
