Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yep.

The only true way to waste your vote is to not use it.

If you want to protest, spoil your ballot.

Edit: presumably I'm being downvoted by people that think their "stay at home" protest won't just be viewed as apathy or nonchalance

That logic is pretty shaky, you can say something roughly the same about voting. How can you distinguish a reluctant tactical vote from an endorsement of the current democratic model? I'm not even making that argument, I think voting is probably sensible. But this is a pretty bad argument.
