We need to talk about how to convey the parameters for punishment as well as the expectations of behaviour.
I'll leave this space for what we decide on as an easy reference.

Here's my current ruleset on Stir's Hobby Central
Attitude
- Do not insult, harass, or disrespect anyone here, and consider if something is needed to be said.
- We are here for participation in and discussion of any hobby at any level. Do not exclude anyone.
- We all go through rough patches in life and some of us struggle more than others. Be considerate.
- Try to keep joking or not being topical to a minimum in the REAL LIFE section.
Content and Discussion
- Always provide as much information as you can when asking for help.
- Do not senselessly complain about product availability.
- Do not post without a source if you can avoid it.
- No knowing linking to recasted product ordering.
- Avoid contextless non-English and non-Spanish use.
- No direct discussion of or links to pornographic content.
- Provide content warnings for anything explicit, extreme, or known difficult topics on a social or individual basis, and use `<>` to prevent link previews.
- No purposeful posting of machine learning outputs or similarly unethically sourced or trained content.
Resolution
Follow the following per incident, please.
1) Indicate the issue with the user directly.
2) Use the block feature on the user.
3) Message me about the issue with the user.
I will hand punishments out immediately if I have had to address a particular issue publicly. I am at sole discretion of all punishments and will listen to your recommendations, but I do consider your own actions taken to resolve it in that.
Notes:
- Obviously real life and joking is more of a "do we want people to flood with responses of meme images or make actual posts."
- I think the senseless complaints about product availability is super specific to main hobby but if the idea is good, it would be best described as an attitude rule to try and not foster too much complaints fueled by ignorance.
- Same for the bootleg/recast rule.
- Porn rule will need adjusted for the space and its user allowances.
- Language rule probably needs updated.
