The Code of the Pirate TiA Brethren

GENERAL RULES

1a: Do not interact with the bloggers after following a link through here. This includes sending them messages of any sort, positive or negative. We take this rule very seriously, and breaking this is the quickest way to a ban, so don't do it.

1b: If you encounter a SJW in the wild you're free to do whatever you like, but don't post interactions here if you initiated it. Seriously, if you're going to brag about sending them hate or some shit, you obviously don't belong here.

1c: No reporting and especially no trying to get people to mass report.

We are not here to troll or bully SJWs, we're here to make fun of their mental gymnastics. Violating 1a will result in a ban without warning, 1b violators will get a warning via PM or distinguished comment, 1c violators who report will get a warning the first time, but 1c violators who try to get TiA to mass report will be banned.


Rule 2: PERSONAL INFORMATION IS NOT ALLOWED, PERIOD.

This is a sitewide rule. Personal information includes full names and locations of bloggers. Whether or not it's in the blog, don't copy it here. You will be banned.

  • All Facebook submissions must have names and photos censored; that goes for OKCupid submissions too.

  • Twitter submissions cannot contain full names. If the account isn't verified (that is, if it doesn't have a blue checkmark beside it), submit a censored screenshot.

For more information see the wiki-article on personal information.


Rule 3: DON'T BE A DICKPARADE.

Don't make fun of people with genuine problems like cancer, autism, or depression, but feel free to make fun of anyone who's self-diagnosed with something and is clearly bullshitting. You know where the line is.

Also, treat your fellow shitlords excellently. Don't tear them down just because they're a proud feminist (or MRA, or libertarian, or communist or whatever). Respectfully disagree, if you do. Personal attacks are dick moves, so don't make them (and that goes for how you respond to the mods as well).


Rule 4: DO NOT POST ANYTHING OVERLY POLITICAL/OVERLY SERIOUS.

TiA is not a soapbox for pushing your ideology, so don't post articles that are serious or political/ideological. That means if you post something that's obviously trying to tear down those damn liberals or those right-wing nutcases, we're going to pull it. Only post that shit if it involves social justice shenanigans directly involved with the ideology. A good example is a political party adopting SJW talk, or pushing values we commonly see here (such as power+privilege).

Same goes for super-serious shit.


Rule 5: IF YOU'RE LINKING TO A BLOG THAT CONTAINS NSFW MATERIAL, MARK IT AS NSFW.

Self-explanatory. Just know how to mark things as NSFW, and there shouldn't be any issues.


Rule 6: SHIT THAT ALSO DOESN'T BELONG ON THIS SUB


Rule 7A: REGARDING CLICKBAIT SITES

This is a list of sites that cannot be directly linked to, and must be submitted as a screenshot or web archive. To put it simply, they engage in clickbait/traffic-whoring, and we don't want to give them any ad revenue.

In addition, screenshots need sufficient context. Capture the whole post, rather than a single line.


Rule 7B: SCREENSHOT FORMATTING

Screenshots, if used, must be full screen and full context. No cropped screenshots.

You may blackout any personal info/blog names to protect the bloggers, but if the mods cannot verify the legitimacy of the blog the post will be removed and the OP will be asked to send the mods a link to the blog for verification or in some cases to redo the screenshot before reapproval.

Any screenshot not adhering to this format will be removed.

Here are some examples of both good and bad screenshots.

This extends also to non tumblr sites. Fullscreen/full context screenshots only. No cropped screens. In the case of non tumblr related posts, archive sites can be used in lieu of screenshots. Archive is an example of sites encouraged for non tumblr posts. Do not use DONOTLINK as this still gives the site ad revenue.


Rule 8: DO NOT POST REDDIT COMMENT THREADS HERE, FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN.

No, seriously, don't bring any SJW bullshit you found on /r/TwoXChromosomes or /r/MensRights over here. We're not /r/SubredditDrama, and we don't want to get involved with that shit. Leave us the hell out. If you have to, post that shit in /r/SJSucks.



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Screenshots and Reposts:

  • When submitting screenshots, provide FULL CONTEXT. This means no cherrypicking paragraphs, or cutting out entire sections of reblogs. We understand that some of you want to protect the bloggers by cutting their names out of the posts, but this often takes away from context. Take a screenshot of the entire post first, then edit out names, if you choose to do so.

  • Don't post old screenshots that have already been floating around the internet forever. You know the ones that have been reposted so much that you can see the jpeg artefacts practically jumping out the screen? Yeah, they've probably already been posted here at least 10 times.

  • No reposting something that has already been submitted within the past 24 hours. While we understand that, as a large sub, you may be submitting something you didn't already see here, and it will be seen by more people who've yet to see it, reposting something still on the front page is just shitposting. Don't do it.

  • If you are reporting something as being a repost, please provide the original post as well as the repost. If you don't do this, we don't know if it's actually a repost and probably won't remove it.


REMEMBER: IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE RULES, ASK THE MODS. WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
