/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It really isn't. It'd be a bit closer if Data just randomly insisted that "steal Geordi's visor and shoot Data in the knee" was a necessary response to the bio-neural gel packs having gone funky but hunams love being fooled but pretend to hate it so we've got to have this asinine argument every day with people who assume that everything they don't understand is either magic or fake magic.
Also, there's a pretty big difference between beating Data with hammers while he's standing in front of you acting like a person, and beating Sales(TM) with hammers because you know damn well it's a janky piece of fad tech that can't possibly understand how it's about to make your life harder and is clearly marked as corporate property. I kinda can't believe I'm actually having to say this, but maybe we should consider giving a least-cost product (or service, I forget everything's a "service" now) that's clearly marked as corporate property a bit of extra scrutiny? People's minds are such mush. Ugh.
