Rule #2 is possibly our most important one:

Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Learn to disagree without being rude or disrespectful.

It can be difficult sometimes, since western social media thrives on collective outrage, and they knowingly ingrain this into us for years. But please do adhere to this rule, and it will make this place much more enjoyable.

We will not hesitate to issue temp bans (usually a day or two) for those who make everyone's experience unpleasant.Hit the report button if you see this behavior.

Thanks!

I agree. I made a post earlier to promote discussion, and it was downvoted more than I expected because people did not agree with the question I guess?

I would still argue that if a post or comment provides useful discourse, it should be upvoted or at the very least, not downvoted.
