Moderators Reserve the Right to Lock, or Remove Topics
Typically the expectation for conflict resolution is discussion and understanding, and not punishment.
In the event of violations of the rules or as an escalation of repeated warnings, forum admins and moderators may deem it necessary, take such actions as suspension or termination of an account. # -
Forum Guidelines
Limit the Frame Rate of Flashing Images (this includes things like propaganda, gifs, and forum sig) put them under spoilers if you can, with appropriate labels.
Spoiler any potentially triggering content and provide appropriate content tags.
This is a public forum, please be mindful of any personally identifiable information you may post.
We welcome the general concept of IRM, the interdimensional rumor mill, and we welcome the belief that no lore is owed legacy. While a part of the reason for this forum exists is for lore, it's important to recognize that sometimes within the lore process ignorance, implicit biases, and misconceptions can arise when given the vast audience and diverse name pool Blaseball has.
We of course respect the input of community members across the league, who may have a perspective to share about writing our players.
When discussing ideas, feel encouraged to ask questions and do the research. Be open to answers from your fellow forum users.
Moderators can apply at any time for the forum to help, however after initial Admin review, election discussions will be public. #
