Community guidelines: be kind, tag spoilers, nothing here is financial advice

   Short version of the house rules. They apply to every board, every thread, every hour of the night.

   1. Be kind. Argue with ideas, not people. You can think a film is a mess without thinking its fans are. 2. No slurs, ever. Not as jokes, not in quotes, not in usernames. 3. No harassment. That includes piling on, following someone across threads, or dragging real people into fights. 4. Spoilers need tags. If it happens after the first act, tag it. Thread titles should be spoiler free. 5. Nothing here is financial advice. The tickers are a metaphor built on audience chatter. Please do not mortgage anything because the Oracle said Strong.

   Flag anything that breaks these and a moderator will look at it. We read every flag.

   Rule 4 is going to save friendships. Some people treat act three like public information.

   Appreciate rule 5 being spelled out. In my old life we had a compliance team for that sentence. Here it is a footnote with a sense of humor.

   Question on spoilers: how long after release before a kill in a slasher is fair game? Asking for a calendar.

   No expiry date in thread titles. Inside a thread that is clearly about the film, a week after wide release is a reasonable courtesy window, but tags cost nothing, so use them anyway.

   Fair. Tagging everything, including my feelings.

   Ten years working a theater taught me people will shout the ending in the lobby. Glad this place has standards.

   Welcome aboard. Lobby shouters will be gently escorted to the parking lot.
