The thing about the "netiquette"/tips page is... it's another one of those things that kuz wrote and implemented of his own accord without asking anyone else's opinion

For those not aware (or who simply forgot), the upper "TOP TIPS" half of that page was written and implemented by kuz as little more than a joke or a bit of fun during July 2020 - a time when Heyuri's activity was thriving and the culture was strong, but there was a growing power struggle between kuz and lolico lurking behind-the-scenes (exacerbated by kuz frequently "going rogue" and implementing/changing things without discussing them with lolico or the userbase, LOL)

Here's the earliest archive of the tips page in its original state - note the "These arent rules, nor guidelines, just some helpful advice for you to read before posting." part, and how not Serious Business it is:

The lower "How to use Heyuri (for dummies)" half however was implemented by kuz some time in Q1 2021. This was long after lolico-Heyuri's death and kuz-Heyuri's relaunch, at a time when Heyuri's activity was at its lowest evar and during what you could dub the "Kolyma takeover" era. That's why it's more Serious Business in tone, and even further departed from what Heyuri's culture actually is/was/should be

Here's the earliest archive of the modified/extended tips page - note the removal of the "These aren't rules" line:

I don't personally think Heyuri's culture should be micromanaged to this extent, and half the things written on that page I would consider debatable, controversial, or in downright opposition to the culture that existed here during the lolico+kuz "golden age" and has recently resurfaced

The only reason I didn't protest it more back when it was first implemented was the fact that it clearly stated that it wasn't part of the rules - but if it is now part of the rules, I protest it!
