*'''#1:''' '''Don't be a dick.'''
*'''#2:''' '''Remain civil at all times'''. We want the atmosphere to remain pleasant and we want our users to feel as much "at home" as possible, free to express themselves and enjoy themselves as they see fit within reason, so long as they respect other users in the process. Refer to Rule #3 to have an idea of what exactly is considered to be unacceptable speech or content.
** '''2a. When a mod says "stop", stop.''' If the staff believes that the current topic of discussion is too unsuitable, the staff may issue a general warning to '''change the topic, move the discussion to another channel, or cease talking altogether'''; this is not advice, this is an order that must be immediately followed. Failure to do so will be punished with immediate muting.
