Understanding Community Rules: Trolling vs Banter

Trolling isn’t banter. It’s a fast track to a permanent ban.

That’s the blunt edge of the community rules that sit behind every comment, every reaction, every late-night argument on the site. The idea is simple: debate hard, respect harder. Cross that line—especially by wandering onto rival sites just to stir things up—and you’re out.

The tools are there to help you keep on top of the chaos. Your full comment history lives under the My Profile tab, so you can see what you’ve said, where you’ve said it, and when things kicked off. It’s your own trail through the conversation.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Hit C to scroll forward through comments.
• Use shift + C to move backwards.
• Tap Z to jump straight to the Next Unread comment.
• Press shift + A to mark every comment on your screen as read.

If something’s broken, it’s not on the moderators—it’s a bug. Those go to [email protected]. If the issue is about behavior, abuse, or moderation decisions, that belongs in the inbox at [email protected].

The message behind all of it is clear: argue, dissect, celebrate, and complain—but do it like you want to be here tomorrow.
