1. Be Respectful: Treat fellow members with respect, kindness, and courtesy. Do not engage in personal attacks, harassment, or any form of bullying. Disagreements are fine, but maintain a civil and constructive tone.
   
   
2. No Jerk Behavior: Do not engage in behavior that disrupts the positive atmosphere of the community. This includes trolling, spamming, or intentionally provoking others.
   
   
3. Avoid Politics and Religion: As a general guideline, discussions related to politics and religion are prohibited. However, use common sense and be mindful of the context. During election seasons, encouraging participation and promoting voting is acceptable. Wishing others well on holidays, such as Christmas, Beltane, or other celebrations, is equally welcomed.
   
4. Stay on Topic: In most forums, keep discussions relevant to the purpose of the community, which is centered around RPGs, podcasts, and related topics. However, we understand the value of building connections and fostering a sense of community. For off-topic conversations, feel free to engage in the designated "General Chat" forum. Use this space to discuss non-RPG-related subjects, share personal experiences, or connect on a more casual level with fellow members.
   
   
5. Respect Privacy: Do not share personal information of others without their explicit consent. Respect the privacy of fellow members and any confidential information shared within the community.
   
   
6. No Hate Speech or Discrimination: Any form of hate speech, discriminatory language, or offensive content targeting individuals or groups based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other characteristic is strictly prohibited.
   
   
7. Mindful Content Sharing: When sharing content, ensure it is appropriate, relevant, and does not infringe upon any copyright or intellectual property rights. Give credit where it is due.
   
   
8. Report Issues: If you come across any violation of the rules or witness inappropriate behavior, report it to the moderators/administrators promptly. Do not engage in public arguments or "backseat moderating."

[*]How's this for the rules? Too much?
