Minor update to the posting rules, to clarify ad hominem. 

In short, don't do it. To anybody, on the forums or not. This has been a big, big problem as of late.

Another update to the posting rules, with specific additions surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak.

None of my posts were offensive, perhaps derogatory and perhaps I used a cuss word, I don’t recall. I still argue that banning me from viewing Or contributing to conversations is over the top. Perhaps the censorship bureau could reinstate my community privileges.

You seem to have posted fine here. I'm not sure what you're talking about, as the account you're posting from has no restrictions on it.

Updated with a new rule prohibiting comments suggesting that something is AI-generated.

I added Character accounts to our Guidelines. Please don't do do this. We want actual people here

Updated with a rule about attacking a post author, instead of what you should be doing in criticizing the post opinion.

What kind of idiot would write that rule! 

No…err…wait: 

What an idiotic rule! 

(Did I do it right?)

Updated with a rule about using your own words, not ChatGPT.

We may rescind this someday, but it isn't today. Make your own points.
