Captain Dumbass Forum Guidelines
Welcome aboard! These guidelines are here to help keep this space sharp, inclusive, and chaos-friendly. They’re not laws — just solid advice to make sure everyone gets the most out of the forum.
This Is a Public Forum — Keep It Civil
Treat this place like your favorite pub or park — a space to talk, laugh, learn, and maybe argue (but never fight). Bring curiosity, not cruelty. The goal? Smart conversations without the ego trip.
Improve the Discussion
Every post matters — even the short ones. If you’re not sure your reply adds value, think it over and post when you’ve got something that moves the discussion forward.
Before posting, try browsing existing threads. You might find what you’re looking for — or something even better.
Disagree Without Being a ■■■■
Debates are welcome. Personal attacks aren’t.
Avoid:
Name-calling- Sarcasm aimed at people
- Responding to tone instead of substance
- Nitpicking just to contradict
Instead:
- Offer insight
- Share your experience
- Help refine someone’s idea
Attack ideas, not people.
If You See a Problem, Flag It
Don’t engage with trolls. Just hit the flag and move on. Mods (and automation) will take it from there. You’re helping more by flagging than by replying to trouble.
Moderators can remove content or users at any time if necessary to protect the vibe here.
Your Participation Shapes the Culture
Every post, like, and flag helps guide the tone of this community. Set an example by being thoughtful, funny, insightful, or helpful — or all four if you’re really on fire. 
Use the tools available:
Like great replies
Tag relevant topics
Bookmark useful threads
Keep It Tidy
Let’s avoid digital clutter. Keep things in the right categories and on-topic. Some quick pointers:
- Don’t cross-post the same message in multiple places.
- Avoid empty replies like “+1” or “same here” — hit that instead.
- Don’t derail topics — if your thought is going in a new direction, start a new thread.
Also, no need to sign your posts. We already know it’s you. 
Share What’s Yours
Only post stuff you created or have permission to share.
No piracy. No sketchy links. No weird “here’s how to hack X” tutorials unless you’re legally allowed to and sharing for education.
This Place Runs on People (Like You)
Moderators help steer the ship, but this is your forum too. If you have suggestions, feedback, or spot issues, post in Site Feedback or contact us.
We can’t read every post — your help is what keeps things humming.
Safety First
This is a public forum, indexed by search engines. Keep posts safe for work and respectful of all humans.
That includes:
No hate speech- No harassment
- No doxxing or impersonation
- No NSFW content
Captain Dumbass doesn’t tolerate bullies, plain and simple.
By hanging out here, you agree to these guidelines and help shape a space where smart meets sarcastic — in the best way.
