What I mean is: interpret the rules expansively. You should also always think about the words you write

No, I think Nahel bond should use the generic version, with a shorter part on the Radiant bond aspect. The majority of Radiant bond stuff can be on the Knights Radiant page. This should not be a quick fix operation. There are a lot of things that need to change with the Rosharan magic pages and it will require heavy revision.

Ummmm... you should probably do some reading from trans people as to what their experience is like.... It's more complicated than you seem to imply... Sex and gender are not the same. You should absolutely educate yourself here. But yes, if a person specifies their gender, please use their appropriate pronouns. So though I know you want more clear lines, you probably aren't going to get super clear ones. Interpret the rules broadly. The rules are written broadly so that people don't feel the need to rules lawyer and try to push boundaries. You aren't doing that, but I'm just saying that's why things are the way they are. These apply to people and not fictional characters generally. Re Politics: Philosophy can be fine. Mentioning present day politicians and political issues, not so much. Spoilers: Obviously, the main thing we care about are Brandon books. Not sure what you want here. If someone enters a thread regarding other properties, expect there to be spoilers? A lot of the time things depend on context, so it really depends on application, much like the law itself. Multiple accounts are forbidden. Do not make multiple accounts, and for that matter, don't tell people private information on the internet. That's just always a bad idea. Well, spamming is not a thing permitted, and people shouldn't be saying that you're dumb (that would obviously be against the Code of Conduct as an attack on you), so this situation is not realistic for a few reasons. Intimidation can mean a lot of different things but is generally pretty extreme. I think you will find places that advocate truly free speech on the internet are not particularly nice places to be, because it lets jerks be phenomenally jerkish and they spill all sorts of bile like racism, sexism, and all sorts of other horrible things. We are here to make a kind place to be. Those places are not kind and respectful because asshats absolutely use "hey my free speech!" as permission to be a gigantic ass. Screw people like that. If you look into the history on online moderation, you can see how things worked when there was no moderation on some platforms in the early internet. Sorry, this is just a massive pet peeve on people complaining about the lack of free speech online. We're a private entity, and we will forcefully moderate dickheads who are horrible, because that makes this place better. (Your statement about free speech is not actually accurate either, as there are limits to free speech in the US. They are narrow, but important. For example, you cannot make a true threat, and I think we all agree that is extremely sensible.)

Hi, Rhythm of War content must go in our dedicated spoiler boards. I have moved it there for you.

To be honest those words you state have not really come up for me, so I highly doubt it Thanks! I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying it.

Sorry, Introduce Yourself should generally be spoiler free, and we generally move cosmere questions out of here (see the pinned message there). In dedicated book discussion forums, you can go into details. I have moved this to the Dawnshard spoiler board. But like, you probably shouldn't just randomly put giant spoilers in the introduction board. That's not great. See here for policies: The Dawnshard spoiler period is not over because the spoiler board still exists. And the RoW and Dawnshard spoiler policy: In general each forum has pinned messages that can have useful things, like this one in Introduce Yourself which states spoiler matters (it's spoiler free):

One more thing, you can quote multiple people in the same post using the multiquote feature, which is the + button next to Quote. We would prefer you not making multiple posts one after another, but don't worry, I realize it is a little confusing, so don't worry about it

Hey there, welcome to the Shard! I just wanted to pipe in really quick and note that when you paste in text from another source, it will keep formatting. So in this case, your original post was light grey which was hard to read. I hope you do not mind that I changed it back to black. There's a few ways to mitigate this: 1. When you paste, the editor will pop up with a message saying it has formatting, and has a link where you can remove the formatting if you wish, or 2. You can simply hit the A and change the text color there. Let me know if you have any site questions!

I have a Master's in math and I do teach math at a community college, but no, this is just me completely flubbing pronunciation because I was pretty stressed, haha.

Hi, since your opening post refers to RoW material, this topic should be in the RoW boards. If you're referring to new material, that's where things go. This may be useful for you:

Uh... what? I mean, welcome, but I'm going to be honest, none of that made any sense.

I would say as long as the topic title has no spoilers, that is no issue. It's no different from it appearing on a member profile or activity streams or any number of other things.

@Valigus I had to remove several posts because you revealed RoW information that was a pretty big deal. You may only discuss those things in the Rhythm of War boards until the spoiler period of nine months after release ends. Sorry.

There's not much: https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?tags=dustbringers Most of these don't really have much information: https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=Dustbringer But yeah, maybe search Releaser and other terms like Division, but this is most of the information. Though the Dustbringer page is not reviewed, I can't think of any real items that are missing there: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Order_of_Dustbringers

Sure! Fortunately, every version of every page on a wiki is saved forever. I did it on the Coppermind main page, so we did have to revert it later. Here it is, with her response at the top: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Coppermind:Welcome?&oldid=113378

Quick moderator note: keep things respectful, kind, and understanding. Posts that are not will be removed.

Well then ya'll can talk about it there if you want to have RoW things.

So, uh, guys, this is not a spoiler board... topics here should not have big spoilers for books (and that is a big reveal).

If Frustration wishes, that can be done.

Hello, we are now reopening this topic. Please remember, from our Code of Conduct: This is an expectation of everyone on the Shard.

Be mindful that you are not in RoW areas so content from that cannot be discussed. I had to remove some posts from members who have many, many posts, and I think you know the drill at this stage.

This is not possible in the reputation system.

Yes, Introduce Yourself is not for cosmere questions. Please use the appropriate board for that. Thanks and welcome!
