REGARDING POTENTIALLY CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECTS... The moderating team reserves the right to pass judgement on any thread or post in the General Off-Topic forum.
REPORTING POSTS
If you see something that is inappropriate, out of line, offensive or breaks the rules stated above, please report it. This option is far better than responding, which bumps the thread and perpetuates the issues. Remember, calling someone else a troll is against the rules.
How do I report?
At the bottom-right corner of every post, you'll find the report button (). It will take you to an entry box where you can describe the problem with the post. Our mod team is then notified immediately via email and can take action.
Keep in mind that the report feature is intended to be used on posts that break the rules, not to report posts that you disagree with. Abuse of the system will carry consequences.
