No more than one logical fallacy per post. A meme used as an argument counts as a logical fallacy. You can't say "You're wrong because you're a [meme]." You can say "You're wrong, [meme], and here's why:"

No generals. No exceptions. A general is a constantly recurring thread dedicated to one topic. It normally has the same subject every time, usually with slight variations in the form of a number and an "edition". For example: Meme General #420: Ebin Edition. If a thread hits the bump limit and you feel that the discussion needs to go on, come to the sticky to request that it be made a cyclical.

:
No duplicate threads. Check the catalog before posting to see if anyone else has already posted the story you want to post.

:
Do not abuse the report button. A report is not an argument; reports should only be sent when one of the above rules is broken.
