===== Former Rules =====

The following rules have been completely removed since being first instituted:

*'''2.5. ENCOURAGING SUICIDE OR SELF-HARM.''' Encouraging suicide or self-harm, even telling people to "kys" as a joke, is a second degree offense.
**Removed for being overbroad, in theory limiting jokes as much as unironic statements, in practice being rarely enforced, while any serious cases would have already fallen under '''Rule 2.3'''.
*'''3.1. DISRESPECT.''' Insulting or demeaning another user is a third degree offense. If you feel that you are being harrassed, consider DMing a moderator about it so that action may be taken.
**Removed for being overbroad, in theory limiting jokes as much as unironic statements, in practice being rarely enforced, while any serious cases would have already fallen under '''Rule 2.3'''.
