Myself and BallShapedMan have decided to add this as a new rule to the sidebar. The new rule language should be clear what the intent is and shouldn’t negatively affect pretty much any user here. In the original post, I stated that this post would be updated to reflect any changes going forward, but instead we will update the sidebar, so the rules aren’t splintered across multiple locations.

If anyone has any suggestions, concerns, or otherwise, you are welcome to post that in the comments, and I will try to address it as I can. I want to be fair, but I also take the security and safety of this community’s regular users and visiting users seriously. If you would prefer to not make a concern known public, you may privately message me instead.
