Right now, it's like that Twilight Zone episode with the empty town, but they will come.  Welcome geeky brothers and sisters!

Glad I found this place early. Wife writes F&SF, since 1985. Looking forward to it's future.

The question is, will the Real Men (TM) come in and shit up threads with "you guys are nerds" talk.

Hope not to an everyday extent. I get a little ribbing here and there, all in good fun, but if its constant with no purpose I hope it gets nipped pretty quickly.

I dont know if a rule about how spoilers are handled would be implemented (or even needs to be). A spoiler warning is alway good etiquette, but how old should something be? What if someone wants to come to the sub forum and give spoilers without warning or fake spoilers? I assume that would fall under site disruption maybe.

Or maybe I need to lighten up.

Interesting. Do we have forum rules here?

I would assume be civil and don't set fire to things would be a good start.

I would guess follow the COC.
On the Site Suggestion forum, I asked if there would be a Sci Fi/Fantasy sub forum and GoatBoy responded with a yes and then set it up. So I assume this is his baby, and we could ask him for rules if things/actions start causing a problem.

I bet a simple "This ain't GD. Act like your at a Nerd Convention" would suffice.

Why do you have to set the bar so high and overcomplicate things?

I guess I'm more interested about whether self-promotion is allowed, because I'm a hobbyist science fiction novelist.

Hmm, maybe they could start a writers/Story forum, and then have sub forums for each Genre.
Of course,  I suspect most of GD would flock to the Romance section and overload the site.

This is easy to figure out.  Post a hotlink to your stuff on amazon and see if you get your peepee slapped.
