  11. Posts with highly editorialized titles may be removed at moderator discretion.

  12. No more than 3 posts every 24 hours.

  13. The precise moment that I figure out which one of you is responsible for introducing Thor_The_Bunny to our peaceful community and caused (gestures at all of this), we are gonna need to have a conversation. Also don't root for the Bruins, although who knows why anyone needs to still repeat this advice; it's 2023 already and people should know better by now.

For off-topic discussion (hypotheticals, past case law, etc.) please visit /r/legaladviceofftopic.
