No hate or assholes.This includes racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, antisemitism, and other bigotry, as well just plain rudeness. Let's be nice to each other!
- Corollary: unless something is without a doubt hateful, let's be kind and first assume ignorance or carelessness rather than malice.
Every thing is someone's favorite thing.Critique of individual aspects of a thing is fine, but hate towards a whole game (or concept, way of playing, etc.) is not. Don't yuck anyone's yum.
- "I really didn't like the leveling system in Oblivion"
- "Oblivion is a shitty game for babies"
Creators are people too.Critique of individual ideas, art, or writing is fine, talking shit about devs is not. Remember that the internet is public and people have feelings.
- "Sai Sahan's portrayal in that quest played into some negative stereotypes, and I'm disappointed."
- "Jane Doe is a racist piece of trash for what she did to Sai Sahan, and if I ever see her I'll punch her in the face"
