Disciplinary Record
gollark: If it wasn't for rule 7 and if people blindly respected my bizarre interpretations of specific parts of the rules, I actually *could* probably take over the server this way.
gollark: I proactively invoke rule 4 against all content I do not like.
gollark: Humans can't rigorously define SFWness and object recognition is very unsolved.
gollark: To be fair, these filtering things are essentially required to be useless.
gollark: I suppose it just doesn't trust you after [REDACTED].
