Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The taco got that gold bar from his oligarch buddy Tim that needs an extension so he can launch the latest iPhone.

At least the bribes and brown nosing are done in plain sight so consumers can act on that info.

"TACOman's line in the sand indicating a quickly approaching deadline was mysteriously washed away by a passing wave, and now there's magically this new line that has developed in the sand over here..."
