/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.

I highly respect and appreciate your ability to continually create enduringly heartfelt memes based on a 35-year-old franchise.
Many thanks. I continue to enjoy what I do here and keep finding inspiration from all the great people contributing to the nonsense.
If we're going all the way back, it's now hitting 60 years! Wild stuff.
I also respect and appreciate your continued effort to document the episodes you pull from.
It's great going from "I remember that crazy shit! What episode was that again?" To just looking at the post body and then plunging into the archives.
Early on there was frequently a comment asking for the source, so it's since become a force of habit. Some others have been doing the same and it makes things much easier to reference. Not to mention it'll often enough become what I watch next.
On one hand, that comment asking about the source is a form of engagement, which is definitely something that I want to encourage with my posts. That comment can often spark further discussion. Also, when a user sees that a post in their feed has a comment, they are more likely to open the post to read the thread, and any time a user opens a post (for any reason), they are more likely to comment and engage in discussion.
On the other hand, seeing the source mentioned in the post body can also spark discussion. Simply seeing the episode title, for example, can jog a user's memory of something related to that episode that they wish to comment about. Not to mention the fact that not everyone wants to comment to ask for a source. I am sure plenty of people see a post, idly wonder to themselves "When the hell did that happen?!", and then just move on without actually asking. With the source mentioned in the body, that answers their question that they weren't planning on asking, and may bring some other aspect about that episode to mind that they do want to comment about. Also, I myself have gotten use out of the source being listed in my own posts. Countless times, I have forgotten when/where something happened in a TV show, and been able to scroll down to an old post of mine that I knew referenced that episode.
This thread reminds of that Surprise Motherfucker meme.
It's a Peptide!
Maybe Vreenak would have been less mad if The Sisko had given him a fake with mint frosting.
Mint frosting makes everything better, so probably
