Adding in a few clarifications to the rules; none of these are new per se, just writing down explicitly for some ‘edge case’ sort of situations.

- **The “No alt accounts” rule does mean no alt accounts** , including “news” accounts, game studio accounts, etc. If you would like to indicate that you’re posting as part of a group, the best way to do that is to write it into your account bio and post as yourself.
- **This is not an appropriate place to facilitate private discussion**. We will never pass along your email to another user at your request, or anything of the sort. Please note that this _does_ include ‘sharing’ accounts (with the only real exception being parents looking after their child’s account), as that provides ways to directly communicate.
- **Please be careful about the links you post**. Beyond just the things covered in rule 1, please be careful about what you post / who owns it. Even if your friend told you to post a link, you’re still responsible for it at the end of the day; if they change the contents to something inappropriate or rule breaking later on, it’ll still be linked to your account.

I think this is my fault. Either way, the clarification is quite helpful.
