Rules

The Watering Hole is a gathering place. Blunt argument and rough humor are welcome. Hurting people, breaking the law, and attacking the board are not. Practical talk about engines, wiring, batteries, chemistry, pests, livestock, and firearms for food is normal here.

Don't post or upload

• Anything that sexualizes or exploits a minor. It will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and the account will be closed.
• Threats, harassment, or someone's private information.
• Anything illegal, or instructions meant to help someone hurt people.
• Spam, or the same message over and over.
• Files you don't have the right to share.
• Malware. Pictures, video, and programs aren't accepted for now, in archives or out, so don't try to disguise them.

Don't do this to the board

• Probe, scan, flood, or attack the server or other callers. This board includes simulated systems for fun, and they're the only thing you may try to break into. Solving one doesn't give you permission to attack the real server, or anything else.
• Get around a ban, a limit, or a filter, including by opening a second account.
• Share your invite code publicly, or sell it. Each code is for the person it was given to.

Good to know

• Files are checked for viruses, and uploads are logged with your account and address.
• Public posts and questions to The Librarian may be processed by an AI service. Mail, pages, and chat never are. See the privacy notice.

If you break these

The sysop or automated tools may hide content, slow or close your account, and report illegal activity to the authorities. Report a problem with X while reading, /report in chat, or by emailing sysop@twhbbs.com.

Repeat infringers

A valid copyright notice removes the file and puts a strike on the uploader's account. Accounts that reach 3 strikes are closed. See the copyright page and the terms.
