Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I've found that most people who complain about moderation don't have much personal experience moderating a public forum. It's relatively easy when there's low activity but gets way harder the more participants there are.
The average person on the internet sucks. For every cool person there's 10 who have no goal but wasting time by way of trolling. It's such a thankless slog of a job that everyone expects you to perform flawlessly using the same exact standards that they believe are universal and impartial but in reality never are. It's honestly pretty incredible that anyone does it well for more than a month without just banning everyone and closing up shop.
it makes me think of how people treat referee's, I've watched a few sports now and the only thing that unites them all is how angry people are with the ref's
