These are already the rules here and they are generally followed. If people seem "too mean" on pinside, then I advise you to never venture out into the world.

Man one of the best forums I was ever on was called Mallcrawlin and it was about hardcore offroading Jeep ZJ's, there was basically no rules about dragging noobs. In fact, it was encouraged. If you could get through the flames there was an outstanding wealth of knowledge to be had on there.

being so thin skinned you have to ignore people is cringe, announcing you're ignoring somebody is even more cringe. Draining topics is cringe. Simply not looking at threads that annoy you and not letting people you don't like get under you skin = BASED
