No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It is the law's job to prevent and stop scams not of the platform that provides the advertising
If I had a printing shop (not sure how is it called in English) should I be the one who checks that what is written on the handouts is legit? Heck no, I don't have the means for that.
... yes? At Office Depot we had a lot of rules about what we could and could not print for customers.
If someone wants to restrict their services out of willingness it is fine, I just think you can't be required to do so
It's not just that, there are laws preventing a lot of stuff (not that it's not commonly happening anyways). For instance a huge thing was never copying anything with Disney characters in it. It's not like Disney has a special rule only for them, it's just that Office Depot knows they're the ones to sue your ass into dust if you get caught. It's the same for any copyrighted material if it's going to be distributed, but OD ignores it for the minor stuff because it's low risk. We just need to laws to protect us from these malicious practices and then we need them to be enforced.
I agree with that in general but think that the scenario changes when you KNOW that you're doing business with scammers.
Yes.
Any service you offer professionally should absolutely be reviewed for legality. If you didn't have the means to comply with laws and regulations you shouldn't be in business.
And in the case of lots of these ads with malware, it would be like you printing poison ink on handouts, and saying you aren't to blame.
Then why my ad for cocaine and hookers was taken down 😤
