While this website is devoted to free speech, the next won’t be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political dialogue, sockpuppeting (utilizing a number of and/or bogus accounts), disrupting subjects with out contributing to them, and posting pictures that might get somebody fired within the office (an exterior hyperlink is OK, however clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you obtain a warning, please take it significantly and both transfer on to a different matter or steer the dialogue again to its authentic RPG-related theme.
