/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I got to know a bunch of people in a small town in northern Ontario ... a place where a few old farms were still around. A lot of old time folksy people.
I was at a local restaurant one day and one of them said ... "hey, there's John the cow fucker"
The story was that he was caught one day when he was a teen in the barn jerking off or doing something sexual with himself near the cows. People didn't care about the details and the story quickly turned into John practicing beastiality. That was about 40 years ago but the story, the myth and the nickname stuck with him forever. John hated everyone in town because he would easily get mad with people .... then people would just say under their breath 'yeah, that's John the cow fucker'
John was actually a nice guy .... he just hated his nickname and that stupid story.
Allegedly
That's spectacular!
Terrible nicknames that stick are a true curse.
