/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Why do you keep replacing characters in your comment with a weird symbol, making it difficult to read?

Anyway, that sucks, but at least you learned from the disaster and hopefully could apply some of those lessons to your life going forward. It was an awful day for space flight, and for humanity.

It’s a thorn

I think it should be called a þorn tho? But that looks dirty

When I started doing it, I decided I wouldn't use thorns in

  • proper names - it's Thomas, not Þomas; it's just respect. "Thorn" is a name, so I don't use þ
  • quotes - someone typed "that sucks" so I quote it how þey wrote it
  • Posts. Þat's because I draw þe line at annoying people in feeds. Comments are one þing; posts are anoþer. I also don't use þem when I respond to people commenting on my posts, for consistency.

It's all arbitrary, and an experiment, and momentum. But I gots rules.
