This forum is heavily moderated to keep things valuable to as many people as possible. Full community policies are here. The basics:

  • 1. Be nice to each other.
  • 2. Stay focused on prepping.
  • 3. Avoid politics, religion, and other arguments.
  • 4. No unfounded conspiracies, fake news, etc.
  • 5. Debate ideas, not people.
