    Sorry, if someone said, "Hello, my religion's values say Black people are inferior. What's the problem, I feel uncomfortable with people celebrating Black Pride. Why won't you leave a space for me in your community?" would you really be surprised if that person was removed from the community? The fact that you can replace Black people in that statement with LGBTQ people should be very illustrative; it's the same terrible argument, and should be treated the same. The pendulum is not swung too far to recognize that queerness exists, that trans people exist, intersex people exist, and that their existence is affirmed. God forbid people exist and don't want to be hated for existing, right? That is not a radical or out there statement. And I don't really think a middle ground exists where like... queer people just need to hide themselves so that others can be in blissful ignorance about things that don't affect them. If an icon showing that a very much marginalized group just... exists is offensive to someone, well... that sounds far more like their problem than ours? Our stances in our Code of Conduct have been very firm, and it always has. We have lots of queer people in the community. That's how it is. They are people, they are all around, they always existed, and they are not going away, despite some groups very much wanting them to. There are lots of religious people who find queer people existing to be perfectly compatible...

    Hello.

    Chaos replied to Peter.M's topic in Introduce Yourself!

    Hello. Please be aware on 17th Shard there are people of many different age categories, and you have no right to demand how other people wish to write. We are welcoming to all here, as we welcome you as well.
  3. Chaos
    No, it should not be in General Brandon, but Stormlight. I've put OB in the title there to indicate where you're at.

    Hey there, Stonewalkers stuff needs to be in the Stonewalkers forum. Thanks!

    More information about "Shardcast: Shadesmar and Silverlight"
    We got a lot of Shadesmar in Isles of the Emberdark, so there's some stuff to talk about now! This episode is part discussion, but also part explainer for things. Also part pointless arguments on the GODFORGE and the Shadesmar sun, but hey. This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Jessie (Lady Lameness), and Ene (AonEne)!

    Hey @AsherCrane, we are flagging RPG spoilers until the 6th (and Stonewalkers much longer) so I spoiler tagged your message. This won't matter too much longer though.
  7. Chaos
    Please use the form linked or contact them directly; they will likely not see this thread.
  8. Chaos
    Treamayne, can you please just report posts and let us handle things? Thanks. Yes, this is appropriate. Topic tags suffice. It is also fine for you to have it as you had.
  9. Chaos
    If you flag the topic with Stormlight RPG in the title, sure. Or you can use the new Brandon Games forum where you will not need to tag the topic.
  10. Chaos
    If you see any issues with the RPG documents, you can report them to Brotherwise here with the Cosmere RPG Issue Reporting Form here. 17S won't be having typo threads for any of these.
  11. Chaos
    I've moved this topic to a new Brandon Games board. See for spoiler details. Stonewalkers will be consumed very slowly, so we are providing a space sequestered from the Stormlight board for discussion, and will be tagged basically forever. We may revise this as things proceed.

    Hi everyone, Here is how we will be doing spoiler policy for the RPG on the forums, which will match the Discord. For the Worldbook, there will be a two week spoiler period, which will require content from that to be tagged everywhere except for the new Brandon Games forum. After that, that content is permitted in Cosmere Discussion and Stormlight. The Brandon Games forum will have cosmere spoilers in it. For the Stonewalkers adventure, people will likely consume this content very slowly. As such, this will have to be spoiler tagged everywhere for the foreseeable future. Discussion will be permitted untagged in the Stonewalkers subforum of the Brandon Games board.

    Guidance will be posted on this today, thanks for the reminder.

    More information about "Shardcast: Isles of the Emberdark Reactions!"
    It's time for a new Sanderson book yet again, this time it's the HIGH-COSMERE CONNECTIVITY Isles of the Emberdark! We discuss what we thought of the book, and just scratch the surface on everything else. On this episode, we have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), David (Windrunner), and Bonnie (Cosmeregirl)!

    Well, that's super weird. I have no answer. Maybe Paleo has an idea.
  17. Chaos
    And on these? Or no? https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/68281-guess-that-cosmere-character-forum-edition/ https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/79946-the-last-post-wins/#comments

    Operating system, browser, etc, for you too (and everyone else with this). Click through a variety of pages on that thread and see if it happens on every page of the topic. Does it happen on similar long topics? I am finding the performance on these big topics absolute trash.
  19. Chaos
    Can you try a different browser and see if it happens? You didn't answer what operating system, but you can try Edge or Safari, as appropriate, or Firefox, which will be on both Windows and Mac. Has anyone ever seen this before?
  20. Chaos
    I... have no idea why that could possibly be. On every page of that thread?
  21. Chaos
    Please provide a variety of system information: OS, browser, and browser version. Does it happen on other browsers? Does it happen when you disable Grammarly?
  22. Chaos
    Have them post a topic in Tech Support where we can try and diagnose. On one screenshot it looks like Grammarly, which is known to screw with things, so that could be a source of problems. But yes, when there are issues, please put a Tech Support post on this.
  23. Chaos
    Oh, I see. Yes, that is the same one. I just did not expect the context.
  24. Chaos
    ...What? This is a totally different thing than anything on Patreon. Please click the link to see; you'll find it quite distinct.

    I'm actually not sure what the easiest way to do this would be anymore. Back in the olden days when I was in high school, Invisionfree existed where you could make free forums, and those were great, but those are all gone. IPS proper is way too expensive for this purpose. I'd have never been able to afford it when I was in 13-18. Whereas I did admin forums on Invisionfree at those ages! Fun times. Anyway, I am curious, so if you figure something out reasonable, let me know. Hosting stuff is kind of hard, so no wonder things tend to go to Reddit, Facebook, or Discord...
