Where are the forum rules?

[Reynard]

My guess would be they would be stickied in the Meta forum, but I don't see it. And on a site like this searching "rules" is... no helpful.

Maybe the Rules post is by Morrus and since he has me blocked it is invisible?

In any case, I was hoping to look up the rules regarding +threads, since I seem to have gotten it wrong.

I'm pretty sure it's that "Terms and rules" listing at the bottom-right of every page, between "Contact us" and "Privacy policy."

That said, it has nothing at all about "plus" threads.

Thanks. Very small text, I did not see it.

Here is an old thread from the dawn of Plus threads that has a lot of discussion about the idea:

Thread '[+] Plus Threads'

May 4, 2018

I've seen this come up several times, but the most recent one (today) was more explicit than I had seen before around here.

A user started a thread and put a [+] mark in front of the thread title.

A user then replied to challenge one of the premises of the thread.

The person who started the thread then replied "You need to read up on the concept of "plus" threads if you think I want an echo chamber, or if you don't see the very valid reasons why the site supports such threads. If you want to keep discussing this that's fine, but I will need to ask you to start a new thread to do it."...

Spoiler alert: There don't seem to be any hard and fast rules beyond the usual and obvious rules here.
