Here you go, but please remember:
1. Don’t start arguments, and don’t respond to people starting arguments. Report posts to moderators instead. Ignore aggressive posts and move on.
2. Don’t insult forum members, singers or other public figures based on appearance.
3. DON’T use the word ‘stan’ or otherwise attempt to belittle reasonable points made by reasonable fans.
4. If your post amounts to little or no more than an image your post may be deleted, you may be banned and your account may be deleted.
Yes we know that sometimes the best response might seem to be a hilarious GIF of someone pouting or whatever. Just try to use words to describe how this GIF makes you feel.
5. Please write in fully formed English sentences. This means capitalising the first letter of a sentence and the names of artists and song titles, putting a full stop at the end of a sentence, and so on. Posts not written in full English may be deleted.
6. This is not a chatroom.
7. Don’t use textspeak or webspeak or whatever you want to call it. This means steering clear of things like LMAO, LOL, ‘meh’ and so on.
8. Making a rude, incendiary or offensive comment then posting “JOKE!” or “NOT REALLY!” or “/TROLL” or whatever is not clever or funny, it’s annoying and childish. Don’t do it.
9. We have a no smiley rule – posts containing comments like ‘Insert sad smiley here’ (or text-based emoticons or other attempts to get around the no smiley rule) will also be deleted.
10. How tragic that this even needs to be a rule: do not use words like ‘bitch’, ‘slag’, ‘cunt’ and ‘slut’ to describe women. This has been something we’ve had a lot of discussions about on the forum over the years and it’s a rule that’s staying. The only exceptions are when you’re quoting song lyrics or titles etc.
11. No explicit sex talk.
12. If you’ve been looking through these rules trying to find loopholes or ways to get around them, things probably aren’t going to work out that well for you on the Popjustice forum. Sorry.
