Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

AFAIK this is only a thing in the US? In many jurisdictions you are not beholden to actively defending your patent or you might lose it. You're just required to pay the fees to uphold it, and well, if you want to drag someone to court you might have some extra hoops to jump through (for example over here you need to prove it was used in an intentional manner and to generate profit).
