/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.

Trek friends,

On behalf of the moderator team here - we recognize that the political atmosphere is tense right now, which has lead to some heated interactions in the comments sections, and ultimately led to a discussion amongst us mods about the best way to handle political content in this community. There isn't one answer that is going to make everyone happy, but this is where we've landed today.

Firstly, Star Trek has been making political commentary since its inception in the 1960s, and if there is any singular point to the series, it's to inspire people to come together and discuss deep existential questions about ourselves and the society in which we live. With that in mind, we feel that it would be a disservice to the community to discourage or flat out ban political posts. What that means is that people are free to share their personal political opinions and make memes about politics and current events from a Star Trek angle. What that does NOT mean is that all opinions are socially acceptable - we are not going to tolerate intolerance, so any posts/comments that are directly racist, anti-LGBT, or are generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values, and that sometimes this is going to include people who hold opposing viewpoints. It's ok to disagree strongly with each other, have opposing party affiliations, or love/hate a politician, but please keep discussions civil and respectful.

This decision isn't necessarily permanent, and long-time community members will remember that we've tried different approaches in the past, so after a couple of weeks or so, please let us know how you feel about this. With the news recently, we figured it was a good time to readdress our moderation philosophy. We don't want political content to be the primary draw of the community, but we also don't want to feel like we are being too heavy-handed with our moderation, so we're hoping to strike a healthy balance here of people sharing the same silly memes without irl politics being off limits.

LLAP

Just a friendly reminder of the November 11 Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Here's a photo of James Doohan, 22nd Field Battery, 13th Field Regiment RCA of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division. He was part of the famous D-Day landings of June 1944.

FYI, that is the skull of Martok in an alternate timeline.

I know it's Martok Monday, but inspiration struck.

He was very proud of it, in fact.
