Every good hangout spot has a vibe... this one’s no different. These aren’t meant to be walls to box you in, just the basic guardrails that keep the conversations real, respectful, and worth showing up for.
Respect comes first
We’re all grown men here. Debate hard if you want, but keep it on the ideas, not the person. No cheap shots, name-calling, or pile-ons.
Keep politics minimal
We all know politics can turn any decent thread into a dumpster fire. Keep it low-key. If it gets too heated... agree to disagree and move on.
No extremes
Talking about Red Pill, MGTOW, incel, or “white knight” stuff is fine if it’s in good faith... but don’t bring hatred, misinformation, or malicious intent into it. We’re here to understand issues, not build walls or wage wars.
Proof over outrage
If you’re making a big claim, link your sources. If something looks sensational, flag it. Try to steel-man arguments (make the best version of the opposing side) instead of knee-jerk reacting. Outrage posting doesn’t help anyone.
Signal over noise
Don’t spam. Don’t post for the sake of posting. A thoughtful one-liner is better than a 3-paragraph rant that says nothing.
Human-first
AI, bots, and copy-paste junk don’t belong here. If you’re sharing AI-written stuff, tag it as such. This forum is built on human voices, period.
Keep it safe
No doxxing, revenge posting, medical/legal “expert” advice, or anything that could put someone in real-world harm. Use common sense.
That’s it. Simple, clean, and straight to the point. If you’re unsure about posting something, ask yourself: “Would I say this face-to-face in a room full of guys I respect?” If the answer’s no... don’t hit post.
Thanks for helping keep this place solid.
