We actually try to impose as few rules as possible, but the ones that we do have are there to serve specific purposes. By setting a posting threshold before allowing links to be posted, we keep a lot of spammers at bay. By requiring strong opening posts, we increase the likelyhood that a strong conversation will develop. Beyond that, the rules tend to just require mutal respect and acting like an adult.
But welcome! Hopefully you'll have more to say in the thread Cyn pointed you towards.
