/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I honestly don't think Paramount would have a case there. You can't own a trademark on the words "deep space" and they didn't write "Deep Space 9."

There used to be tons of "the Next Generation" jokes all over the place back in the 80s and 90s. Nothing they can do about it as long as you avoid "Star Trek" or other such things. You could probably even argue that a spa called "Spa Trek: The Bath of Khan" would fall under legal parody. Mad Magazine got closer than that.

Edit: Also, Highwave has apparently been making the mugs since the early 1980s according to their website, so Paramount would have even less of a case.
