**no bigotry**
y'all know what this means. don't be a dick. keep politics/religion talk respectful. politically loaded questions asked in bad faith will result in a ban
**no age talk, under 18s get instabanned**
chat sometimes discusses mature topics. if you're underage, please act mature enough that no one suspects you of being underage
**no self-promotion**
self-explanatory. try to keep non self-promotion at a minimum too
**no spoilers**
no spoilers. i like to experience games as blind as i can, and i like the joy of solving puzzles. if i want a hint, i'll ask. no direct hints. no "clever" spoilers: they're never as clever as you think
**mods = gods**
mods are the final arbiters of justice. they are people whose judgement i trust. don't argue over their interpretation of the rules
