I want to reduce the size of the OP, as I think it's far too long right now.
RPGHQ's(hereafter referred to as 'HQ') Rules:
Nothing illegal. This means United States of America law.
No "doxxing" of HQ members or relatives thereof.
Content,
Stay On Topic: Respect the purpose of each thread and do not deliberately derail discussions. If you have a new topic to discuss, feel free to start a new thread in the appropriate section.
No Spam: Posting the same message or irrelevant content multiple times is not permitted.
NSFW Content,
NSFW content in a post must either be put behind a spoiler, or in a thread appropriately labeled as NSFW. It's just polite.
Avatars & Signatures must be SFW.
No hardcore pornography. If deemed obscene, it will be removed. This does not apply to mere nudity — "I know it when I see it."
Posts must be in American English. Acceptable exclusions include threads dedicated to non-English discussions and quoting third-party sources in a non-English language. British people should learn to spell better.
Privileges,
Delete & edit are privileges. Do not abuse them. Abuse includes, but is not limited to: mass deletion of posts, mass redaction of posts, and changing the contents of a post to make a discussion appear differently.
Report is a privilege. 'Joke' reports will result in your ability to report posts being revoked. It stops being funny after the 100th time we handle it.
HQ's Guarantees:
The HQ will allow you to share your opinions, even if — especially if — we disagree with it. It may be moved if it's off-topic, but you will be allowed to discuss it as long as it's not content that violates the aforementioned rules.
The HQ will never abide by any country's laws except for USA, and any requests from non-USA governments for content takedowns will not be complied with.
The HQ will never release any user's personally identifying information unless required to by USA law enforcement. Non-USA government requests for user information will be denied.

Can you make it transparent what user data you share with the US authorities? That was one of the issue with the Dex I had, hence why I always used a VPN.

Do not post AI generated content in a thread that does not allow it. "No AI" in the title, or a "no-ai" tag on the thread would be an example.
Doesn't this kind of create a problem that old threads would need this applied retroactively some of which have OPs who no longer even browse the site? Doesn't seem like this really fixes much...

I'll consider threads that have been active long enough and enough posts to be community threads to avoid having to make an identical thread just to add a no AI tag.

Do community threads automatically fall under the no AI category?

If it's something like the image thread and we have a dedicated AI slop thread, yes.
Clearly a stopgap to see how it plays out. He can always adjust it in future.
Use your fucking brain.
I hope it doesn't breed faggot snob OPs that permit only certain types of content, but that's slippery slope fallacy and shouldn't be a problem with just this.
Seems a fair compromise for now, and one I'd not thought of. Hence interesting.

Your response to me saying it's not a real final solution is to bring up that it's not a real final solution? I can see why you out source all of your opinions and beliefs to someone else
Anyway, the person who doesn't even really count as a member of this website (or an independent human being) aside, only time will tell how enforced this will be as personally I can see multiple ways this can be obviously subverted and worked around if someone wanted to. Hopefully reports of violations will be acted on going forward.

Based, wish we had that in Europe but we only have corrupt manlets at the helm...
I'm very glad I found this forum, it reminds me of the good old days before the rise of cringe social media.
