!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

MODERATORS
I've noticed a lot of people who give advice online can't think for themselves and therefore cannot tolerate anyone doing anything differently from them.
Once I recognized that such an idiot exists and is prevalent on online forums, it became very easy to write them off whenever I see them.
The average internet user is about as smart as the average person these days. We need to dig in order to find intelligence; it's not the norm.
Realising this is the key to understand that if you even try to do things differently, you will face people who need to tell you that you are wrong. But you should keep doing what you are doing exactly because you are doing it differently.
