Header template. I know there exists an ongoing form of this in other social media, but given the 900+ hours of Trek media, I figure we can carve out our own niche.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Context?
Before the advent of HDTV, production thought they could get away with covering sections of panels with black paper.
They could, they didn't just think so. We certainly didn't see it when we were watching them when they first aired.
The giant display on the back of the bridge reflected everything… including cameras and stage lights. So in certain shots, they would tape black construction paper in key places on the display to obscure the reflection. On 19” CRT TVs, you really couldn’t tell. In HD, it’s painfully obvious.
That never occurred to me! A clever trick that certainly worked at the time.
