The basics from name-calling to porn. So, no need to list all of them here.

2. Posts should be relevant to PH

Keep all non-PH posts on the Daily random threads where pretty much anything goes topic-wise.

3. No editorialized titles

Stick to the actual article title. Do not add your opinion to it or, worse, simply "Thoughts?"

4. Censor personal information

Don't just pixelate either. Follow this guide on the ideal way to conceal private details. Naturally, we also do not condone doxing.

Strictly no Classified Ads.

“Around 1995, [David Bunevacz] was recruited to the Philippines national track team. Officials there hoped he would earn the nation its first Olympic gold medal, and seemingly pulled strings to get a U.S.-born athlete on the team. He never competed in the Olympics, however, and became better known for spending his hefty stipend partying and dating actresses and models, landing him in the pages of Filipino tabloids. He landed some TV work and acted in a few Filipino films, including the action comedy Tusong Twosome (2001) and the boxing movie Buhay Kamao (2001).”
