Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    They didn’t “say” anything. Look at the screenshot. There’s no body, just the headline. So they literally went to that sub asking if there was an alternative.

    Here is the post in question. Same comments and everything but the OP post was removed from the screenshot.

    First couple of lines from the post:

    TL;DR Sorry if this is wrong group. GIMP = Epic POS. Do not use. Please recommend a decent alternative. Don't waste your time with GIMP help because I am done.

    So, in the screenshot where it says it was "submitted by [deleted]": I can't be 100%, but I'm pretty sure that's what it looks like when the post was deleted entirely. It wasn't a 'blank' post. It was a rant against GIMP in the GIMP subreddit as someone else posted here.

    No, the body is removed and replaced with a banner that says the user deleted this post. Only the headline survives because that can never be changed.
