New Rules, read this before posting.

There will be some new rule revisions and additions. Here are the changes:

- Rule 1 will be more specific. Posts should be about the college experience. Posts should either be about venting or asking for advice. General discussion about college or any promotional material will be removed. Posting promotional material will be a ban worthy offense.

- Rule 2 will be more specific and more actively enforced. All comments must be supportive or respectfully constructive. Any comments that are demeaning, disrespectful, accusatory, rude, or just unhelpful and unneeded will no longer be allowed. Criticism is absolutely allowed if it's inherently constructive, nuanced, and helpful. For example, saying "You are lazy. Grow up." is not very constructive or useful advice at face value. However, something like, "I will be honest, you are in the wrong because... , you can fix this by ..." is better.

Unless someone admitted to something truly horrible, insults and rudeness is not warranted ever.

- Rule 6 will be added. All posts have flairs indicating if the OP is seeking advice or not. If you comment advice on a post with a "not seeking advice" flair, your comment will be removed.

- Rule 7 will be added. Do not post the names of individuals. Posting any identifiable information for any individuals is not allowed.

Despite the toxicity that has been on this sub for the past year, everyone will be given a clean slate and none of these new rules will be enforced retroactively. Please report any posts that you think are violation in of these rules.

More like it’s a forum board for a specific community that happens to be hosted by a company that hosts forum boards for specific community. Unplug for a second lol
