RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

It's college. You're literally paying to be there so you're short changing yourself and your classmates.
If want to leave early, get the fuck up and go. You're an adult. Act like it.
College adjunct instructor checking in:
Your teacher is human. They are there because they want to help you get the information that you need to be a successful person as an individual and in society. They see the class packing up early and it really stings because they care about you and their subject’s impact on the world.
If you don’t want to be an educated member of a democracy, just save yourself the student loan bills and don’t come in the first place.
First place is exactly what I came in.
getting good grades has taught you to excuse shitty behavior. i wonder how you'll react to this negative feedback. i bet you'll call us all apes. it's easier to dismiss than reflect. anyway bye Felicia
Yeah maybe. Nah, I can reflect.
Joke's on you, the college was giving me a full ride 😎
So is OP’s mom, doesn’t mean you can’t still leave early if you want
The only one finishing too fast here is OP
I mean yeah but it's awkward as shit and might make your professor hate you, and no good can come out of that.
