attempt at a more concise draft
The rules
If you see a post that breaks the rules, DON'T reply to it, just Flag it (when a post is removed by moderators, replies will be removed too).

- Use concise, on-topic, humorless, non-inflammatory prose
- Attack issues, not people
- Don't advocate violence, doxing or otherwise negatively impact another person's life outside of this forum, with-us-or-against-us thinking, judging people rather than actions as good or evil, or involuntary collective punishment
- Don't take offense at someone's empirical beliefs, experience or lack thereof, or abstract positions
- Confine the following to their designated subforums: Politics and Religion, Metadiscussion, Commercial Promotion, Help requests, Off-topic
- Don't post things that are illegal, highly offensive to the general public, or that could cause the admins a hassle
- Don't dox, shame, threaten or negatively impact another person's life outside of the forum
