No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Disinformation about Israel is practically all anyone ever sees.
Consider that there are less than 16 million Jews in the world, and 475 million Arabs/ 2 Billion Muslims.
In this conflict that's largely viewed as Jewish vs Arab or Jewish versus Muslim, Jewish voices are drowned out by either 30:1 or 125:1.
Israel is the only country in the region where lesbian Muslim woman can wear what she wants, vote, live in peace, and become an elected official.
But when you have 30:1 voices in the world making bullshit claims of apartheid, posting misleading infographics, and generally creating an atmosphere of overwhelming 1-sided sentiment it's really easy to see why Israel is vilified.
Israel doing the longest military occupation in modern history isn't bullshit.
Agreed. It would be pretty cool if the Palestinians would accept one of the many peace offers that have come their way.
It’s possible both sides are full of shit. It’s what happens when one side starts using what the other side views as immoral methods. The side that feels the injustice may feel like they have no other option or even have the moral right to reciprocate. It then becomes a race to the bottom. I don’t know enough about the Jewish religion but it seems like this conflict has an eye for an eye written all over it
