The sidebar is now updated. I'm going to leave this post stickied for a few days just so everyone can hopefully get on the same page.
The new rules are not set in stone, but hopefully they will do a fairly good job at setting the tone for the community. Thank you again to everyone that contributed to the revision.
If you have suggestions for updates, additions, or deletions, please know that you can always send us modmail.
Bugler, sound taps for the old Rule 2....

Good riddance.
I hope the mods understand what, exactly, the legal standard is for what is or isn't an "illegal threat." Imminence is a required component of the legal test, and 99% of the time what is considered "threats of violence" at most places on the internet don't meet this test.
Hell, even straight up telling someone you're going to kill them online isn't imminent because it's almost always keyboard warrior shit.
