Aaron,

Please respect the one month ban we levied on your main account.

When you return:

  • Do not create multiple accounts to inflate reputation or moderation power. Using the built in moderation tools is fine. Switching between accounts (like you are currently doing) to force votes is a flagrant violation of the moderation system.
  • Do not obsess over community rules or gatekeeping. Let the real mods deal with enforcing the rules. They have the wisdom to know what is worth correcting and what can slide.
  • Answer questions to the best of your ability.
  • Downvote unhelpful content.
  • Report commercial content as spam.

The goal here is to enable repair around the globe. That’s it and that’s all. Do everything in your power to empower others. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Merry Christmas! See you in January!
